Open Letter from Diverse Women for Diversity to World Leaders
We, the women of the world, meeting together in Dehradun, India as the ¨Diverse of Women for Diversity¨, and representing 17 nationalities and multiple cultures, welcome and support the decision of the Mexican government through the presidential decree to phase out the use of GMOs and glyphosate. More information here.
How Regenerative Agriculture Can Enable Sustainable Nutrition
To achieve sustainable nutrition and global food security we must evolve our current agri-food system into one that is more resilient, productive and climate-positive
‘During Droughts, Pivot to Agroecology’: Q&A With Soil Expert at the World Agroforestry Centre
As the unabating drought in Kenya persists, pastoralists in the region are struggling as millions of their livestock perish and vast swaths of crops die. About 4.4 million people in the country are food insecure. Mongabay speaks with David Leilei, a Kenyan soil biologist at the World Agroforestry Centre, on the agroecological techniques and strategies pastoralists to promote productive farming.
Regenerative Agriculture: Key to Solving the Climate Crisis
Meet Gabe Brown. If you haven’t read his groundbreaking book Dirt To Soil, visited his North Dakota farm, seen his Netflix documentary Kiss The Ground, or his Congressional testimony, you can find Gabe speaking around the country about regenerative farming.
Latin America’s Food Paradox
The most biodiverse region on the planet, Latin America is an agroindustrial superpower that exports fully one fourth of its total production. By contrast, another agricultural superpower, Asia, exports only 6 percent of its production. Still Latin America has never succeeded in tapping into its agricultural wealth to adequately feed its population.
Women Smallholders Will Drive Africa’s Transition to Regenerative Agriculture
Regenerative agriculture improves the soil, traps carbon emissions and lifts farmers out of poverty. 80% of Kenya’s smallholder farmers are women, which is why Hand in Hand’s regenerative agriculture curriculum places women at its core. The organisation aims to reach one in 20 Kenyan farmers in the next five years.
With “regenerative” Farming, Small Growers Can Reap Big Profits for Air and Soil
Engelhart’s method of farming is some of the best carbon-capture technology around. It’s called regenerative agriculture, and it’s still far from the norm, but some farmers are using it to grow more sustainably. Read more about it here.
The Science-based Evidence to Ban Glyphosate and GMOs
Mexico announced that it was phasing out the use of glyphosate herbicides, the cultivation of GMO corn, and the import of GMO corn for human consumption and livestock feed by the end of 2024. The reasons for the decree given by Mexican president Andrés Manuel López Obrador are to protect the health of Mexico’s consumers and small-scale farmers, the environment, and the purity of Mexico’s native corn varieties.
Africa: Agroecology Giving Farmers an Edge in the Face of Climate Change
With an emphasis on sharing training and experiences, Environmental Monitoring Group (EMG) hosted a workshop that provided resources on agroecology as well as sharing strategies to set up viable and sustainable agroecological practices. Read this article to find out everthinf about this amazing event.
Maximizing Photosynthesis and Root Exudates through Regenerative Agriculture to Increase Soil Organic Carbon to Mitigate Climate Change
To shift from a significant emitter to a major mitigator of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, agriculture needs to change from the current dominant paradigm of chemically intensive, industrial/conventional systems to regenerative systems by focusing on plant biology and living soil sciences. Going to renewables is not enough now and this is why carbon dioxide removal through increasing soil carbon by scaling up best practice regenerative agriculture is critical to keeping the temperature rise below 1.5ºC.
The Organic Sector Must Respond to Regenerative Momentum
“Regenerative” has momentum. New partnerships, organizations, finance tools and certifications pop up daily. Those of us who have been working to promote regenerative organic practices for decades — including the organic pioneers at Rodale Institute who coined the term “regenerative agriculture” in the 80s — can rejoice. All newcomers focusing on soil regeneration, biodiversity and climate: Welcome!
The Cuban Paradox
What brings me to Cuba is the eighth International Encounter of Agroecology, Food Sovereignty, Nutritional Education and Cooperativism, organised by the National Association of Small Farmers (ANAP). The encounter’s international delegation of more than 120 participants and a significant number of delegates from the United States.
Our Global Regeneration Revolution: Organic 3.0 to Regenerative and Organic Agriculture
We have a lot of work to do. We are currently living well beyond our planetary boundaries and extracting far more than our planet can provide. We need to build the new regenerative system that will replace the current degenerate system.
