Regenerating Nature-based Systems – The Solution to Cooling the Climate

The climate news isn’t good now, with devastating storms, droughts, floods, and fires everywhere. We have enough evidence based on current best practices that scaling up a percentage of best practice regenerative agriculture systems can remove more than the current emissions of CO2 to reduce the levels in the atmosphere and oceans. The scaling up of these systems by regenerating a high biodiversity of plants and animals in agroecosystems will cool the planet.

The Great Cash-for-Carbon Hustle

Offsetting has been hailed as a fix for runaway emissions and climate change—but the market’s largest firm sold millions of credits for carbon reductions that weren’t real.

Certificación ROC: Agricultura orgánica regenerativa

La Certificación Orgánica Regenerativa (ROC, por sus siglas en inglés) es una garantía de que un producto o ingrediente alimenticio, textil o de cuidado personal, fue obtenido promoviendo la restauración de los ecosistemas, la salud del suelo, el bienestar animal y el respeto a las comunidades y trabajadores, a través de técnicas y procedimientos de cultivo y/o procesamiento que mitigan el impacto al cambio climático. Es el estándar más alto de agricultura orgánica en el mundo.

Monthly Newsletter – Vía Orgánica

Via Organica’s Agroecology Park in Jalpa has become a demonstrative and experimental space. It’s been more than 11 years since the transformation of each of the areas began and here we will share with you how the changes have been. The areas have been gradually transformed thanks to teamwork, agroecological and regenerative techniques and, above all, the favorable response of nature when treated with conviction and respect.

Strong El Nino Affects Southern Africa: How Creating Landscape and Farmer Resiliency to Shocks is Going to Help us all Keep Moving

Year after year we realize that the extreme weather patterns are making it hard for farmers to make ends meet from their landscapes. I am in western Zimbabwe, Hwange where I am engaged with communal farmers working on regenerative projects together. We are currently in an unprecedented dry spell in the midst of a growing season! All regenerative efforts like Agroecology, organic farming, permaculture, and so on are so important to relieve stress in events like this.

Agroecology and Sustainable Food Systems: 10th Anniversary Collection

To celebrate 10 years of ASFS, in this special collection, we have gathered some of our most-read and most-cited papers from the decade, as well as several “editors picks” we feel exemplify the agroecological focus the journal promotes. The collection will be available open access for the next six months, and we hope you will read and share the articles, reviews, and editorials with your colleagues, students, co-organizers, and more.
