Moving away from conventional farming toward #Agroecological methods is necessary.
The conventional food system relies on fossil fuel extraction which only feeds warmongering and famine, not actual humans.
" #FoodSecurity needs to be as local as possible" and "Don't lock yourself into a global system which is broken and can't be repaired". "We need innovations that genuinely support sustainability, that empowers farmers, that are governed locally & that can strengthen #agroecological practices..."

A small win for Scotland’s small producers
The @scotgov £500k capital fund is a vital first step for small-scale, #agroecological farms & crofts.
But at £500k nationwide, this must be a starting point, not the destination

“Food solutions were on display everywhere around COP30 – from the 80 tonnes of local and agroecological meals served, to concrete proposals for tackling hunger – but none of this made it into the negotiating rooms or the final agreement. Despite all the talk, negotiators failed to act, and the lived realities of people most affected by hunger, poverty, and climate shocks went unheard.” Elisabetta Recine, IPES-Food
#COP30 ended with #FoodSystems missing from the deal—even as Brazil served delegates 80 tonnes of local, #agroecological food.🌱

Mark #WorldFoodDay and celebrate the majority world's food providers who, while respecting #PachaMama and #Nyeleni, cooperate to provide 80% of world's peoples with food through #biodiverse #agroecological systems and #FoodSovereignty

🍅 From Rosario 🇦🇷 to Belo Horizonte 🇧🇷, cities are using #agroecological practices to build food resilience from the ground up.

This is valuable data to show what an #agroecological, nature friendly, climate adapted diet should look like. Culturally appropriate, healthy and not destroying the vital natural ecosystems we need for life on earth.. Soil, water, habitats, pollinators, pest predators, nutrient recyclers etc

We were excited to attend Groundswellaguk for the first time, to meet with farmers, showcase the #AgroEcological #LTEs, & see people’s reactions to the #VR LTE experiences.
We were also pleased to see some familiar faces!

With the current #agroindustrial model, without fossil fuels and mining, the world starves… #NPK trap!
We need an #agroecological / #foodsystem shift : less meat (less GHG, more room for biodiversity-diverse crops), polycultures, #agroforestry to have side benefits and diversity co-products.

Ever wondered why, if #organic & #agroecological farming are the answer, change isn’t happening faster?
2 studies attempt to find out:
What outside factors are hindering change
Where farmers' motivations lie

With Visionary EU
This training is in response to one of the most dominant challenges faced by #Agroecological Entrepreneurs in regards to certification, limited access to quality packaging materials and product quality which hinders competition with other non Agroecological products on the market.
In Bombo-Luweero District, #Agroecological Entrepreneurs under different #PELUMUganda Member Organizations and Youth in #Agroecology Entrepreneurship are participating in a training on Product development, Quality Assurance and Certification.
Unwinding the lies and broken promises of the industrialized conventional system is essential for a sustainable food future. The science supports the fact that organic and #Agroecological practices benefit soil health, ecosystem services, the environment, and human communities!
We are happy to invite you to our official BRS COPs joint side event "Accelerating the transition from #HHPs to biopesticides and #agroecological alternatives".

I would've thought though (quite possibly incorrectly) that a large number of no-till practitioners also use #organic methods and are not added artificial NPK, no? (at least that's true in my bubble of #agroecological #permaculture types) So mostly irrelevant to many/ most of them 🤷 :shrug:
