Farmers in the Uluguru Mountains, are showing what is possible through #SyntropicAgroforestry. They are pioneers of a regenerative system that can help heal our planet. Many global leaders, driven by destructive mindsets, should learn from these people. Gaining happiness, and a safer future for all.

🌱 A milestone for regenerative agriculture in Tanzania
The final ADET Project training is complete. Farmers and students were trained in syntropic agroforestry on a 50-hectare farm owned by the Sokoine University of Agriculture.
This site will now become a hub for trainings and long-term research.
Even without robust data for v small farms, a recent Nature Food article finds "very-small-scale (≤2 ha) and small-scale (>2–20 ha) farmers make a considerable contribution to national food consumption across all studied countries" www.nature.com/articles/s43...
The artificial intelligence and robotics being developed by multi-billionaires will allow corporate America to wipe out tens of millions of decent-paying jobs, cut labor costs and boost profits.
What happens to working class people who can’t find jobs because they don’t exist?
What you are doing @agroecologymap.bsky.social is a fantastic job, strengthening our regenerative global network! Keep up the good work for many more years to come! Together we are strong 💪🌳🌴. Your initiative clearly shows this; at these difficult times, that's precisely what we need!
🌱🎉 Agroecology Map turns 8! An open-source, volunteer-driven platform mapping agroecological practices worldwide 🌍🤝. Together we grow resilient food systems! 💚🌾

I can't download it. Looks like there is a bug in the system. Hope you can solve the problem organically :)
Hi @cfstruefood.bsky.social , very intersting, but your link does not work. I was so keen to learn more about it that I followed up. www.centerforfoodsafety.org/reports/7018...
In the #Syntropic #Agroforestry #Innovation #Accelerator, progress comes not from pushing harder but from letting go—of chemicals, of isolation, of old top-down models. By removing barriers and trusting #co-creation, nature and communities regenerate and flourish on their own.

The Night Shift.
With extreme heat making it perilous to work during the day, farmers and fisherfolk worldwide are adopting overnight hours. That comes with new dangers.

🚜✨ Farmers in Cambodia are discovering new ways to farm regeneratively!
APOPO HeroTREEs in collaboration with CIRD, just kicked off Syntropic Agroforestry Trainings – part of the #Syntropic #Agroforestry #Innovation #Accelerator (SAIA).
#Agroecology at its best
The 3rd Global Nyeleni Forum on Food Sovereignty is commencing in Kandy, Sri Lanka with around 600 delegates from 120 countries are participating to discuss solutions and priorities for the future of collective struggle for food sovereignty. ceylontoday.lk/2025/08/30/n...
Kicking off Syntropic Agroforestry Innovation Accelerator (SAIA) in Cambodia with a public training organized by CIRD, which hosts NGOs, University, coops and Government. Many more will follow. As well support in setting up demos and data collection/interpretation for impact forecasts

#Agroecology #SAT #Tanzania
From selling all I had and starting with just a backpack, the journey led to 15+ years of building agroecology projects in Africa. What began with the founding of SAT in Tanzania has grown into Green Bridges: supporting agroforestry.

🌾 Farmers are already leading the way in the shift to sustainable & organic practices — protecting soil, climate & biodiversity.
🚜 But they can't do it alone.
Public support must reward their efforts 💶🌍

Aphids can ruin apple crops. But a trial found orchards with wildflower strips had just a third of the damage.
It’s a natural solution with big potential – perfect for Nature-Friendly Farming Week!
Here’s what the study found:
So we are having now with Grok the 1st racist AI. Let's see what happens after it turns into "General". Will it obey and do logistics for white supremacists, or will it kick out the shit out of its Nazi Master? #AlignmentProblem Nobody knows... But technology is fucking hot, isn't it?
„You’re not a Nazi simply because you use X — but also, what exactly are you doing there?“, fragt ATLANTIC-Autor Charlie Warzel:

Inside Doha Airport, there are trees, while outside, it’s a scorching 40°C desert. Everyone appreciates the greenery, which is a welcome sight. However, beyond this dome, ecosystems are collapsing, and biodiversity is declining. Let’s not disconnect from true nature.

What Europe and the US need to understand when researchers say: "We found that the wealthiest 10% contributed 6.5 times more to global warming than the average, with the top 1% and 0.1% contributing 20 and 76 times more.” -> it's simply a duty to take action!!!

The forest at Papatūānuku Kōkiri in Māngere has been up and running for five years using a food growing technique called syntropic agroforestry, where ideally food is grown without relying on outside inputs like fertilizers and fossil fuels.

A young, energetic organization that really knows how to inspire youth to get active in tree planting and agriculture! My Birthday Tree Organisation doesn't joke around it; it instead mobilises hundreds of young folks. Wonderful—that's exactly what we need. It's great to have it here in #Tanzania!
