La mejor manera de garantizar la seguridad alimentaria, lograr erradicar la pobreza y combatir la crisis climática, es apoyando sistemas agropecuarios resilientes que protejan la biodiversidad y fomenten la recarbonización de los suelos.
La agroecología se enfoca en regenerar los ecosistemas y, a su vez, asegurar los alimentos y la salud en un planeta con más de 7.700 millones de seres humanos y en pleno cambio climático.
Raising chickens in the woods is being touted as a way to help improve the food security of First Nation communities by providing an alternative to dwindling supplies of traditional foods such as moose and salmon.
The old adage of “what gets measured gets managed” is just as true here as it has ever been. With measurement we can optimize and that makes our movement incredibly well-positioned for the future.
South Africa is counting on its tree cover to act as a protected carbon sink that will further drop emissions accelerating climate change.
Adopting alternative farming methods could have a dramatic effect on land-used emissions, improve overall soil health and avoid the clearing of carbon-rich forests for crop cultivation.
The mysterious world under our feet is under threat. Protecting it is as vital as tackling the climate crisis, scientists warn.
Just as the microbiota in our guts digest food, fight infection and even make us happy, we are now learning that the microbiota in the soil plays a similar leading role for plants. Arbuscular mycorrhizal networks around the world currently sequester around 5 billion tons of carbon per year – that is the same as the annual carbon emissions of the E.U. and Russia put together. The challenge is clear: “The big question in my field is: what scale can we increase that to?”
Al tiempo que en el mundo se cuestiona a la ganadería, los productores uruguayos demuestran lo contrario. Enfocándose en la gestión del campo y el paso, consiguen aumentar la producción de carne y la captura de carbono en el suelo.
After organizing and attending our first syntropic farming workshop in 2019, our team at Porvenir Design knew that we were looking for just the right client to implement a larger scale system to learn more about these ideas. Finca Luna Nueva presented that opportunity as they were seeking to expand their existing cacao orchards and we had recently taken over full administration of their farm.
