Imagining A Greater Organic Reset

01/23/2023

OCA and its allies worldwide are dedicated to addressing critical issues of climate change, soil health, biodiversity, water pollution and scarcity, nutrition, environmental contamination, deteriorating public health, forced migration, economic justice, and rural economic development. But what do we need to do to make this goal a practical reality? What would an “Organic Greater Reset” look like.

The transnational corporations and business organizations that benefit from GM corn and biocides such as glyphosate are strongly pressuring the Mexican government (with support from the U.S. government) to renounce its right to food sovereignty and walk away from the international commitments assumed by the three governments in the "Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework," which is the strategic plan for the implementation of the Convention on Biological Diversity in the period 2022-2030, intended to contribute to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals by 2030.

Producing food is a job that requires a lot of responsibility, respect, and recognition. That is why this Rancho-Escuela emerged as a space for experimentation and demonstration precisely to make visible the work of women and men who provide us with food every day. In addition, it has allowed us to know the factors involved in the production of vegetables and animal products origin.

The Myth of No-Till: The Future is Regenerative Organic Agriculture

12/12/2022

We have enough high-quality studies now to show that Regenerative Organic Agriculture has the highest yields and the best increases in soil organic carbon. Scaling up Regenerative Organic Agriculture can reverse climate change, increase biodiversity, improve water capture and retention, stop soil loss, be more profitable for farmers and ranchers, and very significantly nourish the world with high yields of healthy non-toxic food.

We completed a new cycle of seasons and despite the climatic irregularities, an increase in the amount of soil inoculated and recovered after rainfall is perceived, which is stored more thanks to the organic matter added throughout the farm. This encourages active microbiology and with it, grasslands and forest areas have been restored, increasing the amount of biomass each year allowing its transformation into proteins such as eggs, lamb, duck and rabbit meat, increasing the soil's capacity as a store and water sponge, CO2 capture, among other benefits.

Women Voices from Global South Discussing Food Sovereignty and Climate Change at COP 27

12/02/2022

During COP 27, a group of women from Abya Yala raised their firm and deep voices to speak up about food sovereignty in regions that are so different and yet alike as America and Africa. The talk was organized by Regeneration International and OMANIAP.

Wrapping Up COP27

11/24/2022

Sponsored by companies such as Coke, with a presidency held by a military government that severely represses its citizens (in a holiday resort far away from the realities of the Egyptian people) we were never going to expect much from the outcome of COP27 to shift the international community away from its business-as-usual pattern.

The Distorted Lies About Sri Lanka’s Organic Pathway

11/15/2022

Recently there have been a series of articles stating that Sri Lanka’s economic chaos was caused by the government forcing the country to go organic. These articles' familiar false narratives, untruths, and language style show that they were written spin doctors from a PR company employed by pesticide/big agriculture cartels.

Vía Orgánica ranch was born as a connection space between producers and consumers. Its first space was a store designed to publicize local, wild, artisanal products, coming from the hands of guardians of some natural landscape. It was the producers who inspired this project and continue to motivate it, which is why we dedicate this newsletter to the families of organic producers who take care of the planet and feed the world.

People’s Food Summit 2022

11/01/2022

The People’s Food Summit is a truly participatory summit that empowers the majority of the world’s food producers: the small-holder family farmers, pastoralists, and foresters who produce 70% of the food we eat. This year we also featured natural health as how we produce our food and what we eat is essential to our health and the health of our environment and society.

Regenerating Seed and Food Culture in Africa

10/15/2022

For the longest time, the narrative of food and agriculture in Africa has been degraded, with African seeds being labeled as tired, ways of farming as backwards, and a chain of narratives that include Africa being poor and needing “new technologies”. However, farmers are putting their best foot forward in changing the trajectory by using natural, local and biologically regenerative practices to grow food and nourish their families. Most industrial agriculture approaches that are mostly linked with the green revolution in Africa are proving to lead to more hunger and crop failures in the face of unreliable weather patterns due to the climate crises.

Commemorating the International Day of Rural Women, we celebrate and recognize all the hard work all these women do in this project. Their hard work is essential for the operation of the ranch, each one of them being fundamental pieces to make Vía Orgánica's work. Demonstrating that field work can be and, in many cases, is directed by women, even if the opposite is thought.
