🌱 The policy brief "Carbon Removals and Emissions Reductions from Climate-friendly Soil Management: Defining Key Terms" by the Ecologic Institute emphasises the critical role of clear terminology in advancing effective soil-based climate solutions. 📌 #Soils are a significant carbon reservoir, storing more carbon than vegetation and the atmosphere combined. Effective #soilmanagement is a key to climate mitigation. 📌 Confusion around terms like #carbonremovals and #emissionsreductions can hinder policy and practice, risking less effective climate outcomes. 🌳 #Agroforestry systems are effective solutions in achieving dual benefits: enhancing #biodiversity and mitigating #climatechange through sustainable #carbonmanagement. 👉 Link to the policy brief: https://lnkd.in/gHqC2Zwr #Agroforestry #ClimateAction #SoilCarbon #SustainableFarming

🌳🌾💧 As an #agroforestry project focusing on #watermanagement, we cannot not repost this beautiful best practice implementation example. 🙌 👏💪 Congratulation to this inspiring farm and committed managers 🤩

🌿 ReForest joined the PATH2DEA's Agroecology Cluster's second meeting! 💡🌾The #cluster is a vibrant platform uniting projects to drive innovation in #sustainablefarming through digital solutions. The meeting opened with insightful presentations from several initiatives: 🌐Inclusive Digital Tools Project aiming to support inclusivity through digital tools that integrate climate resilience and agroecological goals while fostering farmer-driven innovation. 🌱 The AGROSUS_HE Project shared their holistic agroecological weed management strategies and insights from their co-created with stakeholders. 💻D4AgEcol project revealed how they adapting digital tools to support the transition to sustainable agricultural systems. 🗨️ The discussions underscored common challenges, such as enhancing farmer inclusion and trust in digital innovations. Speakers emphasised the importance of engaging farmers from the start to ensure practical alignment and the bridging gaps in accessibility and usability of digital tools. 💻🌾 The meeting showcased the power of collaboration to tackle complex challenges in sustainable agriculture. By combining digital tools with agroecological principles, the cluster projects contribute to a transformative vision of food systems. ReForest is proud to be part of the cluster, working alongside with inspiring partners to advance sustainable and inclusive farming solutions! 👉 Learn more about the PATH2DEA Digital Agroecology Cluster and the ReForest other collaborations on our website: https://lnkd.in/dhcvEZvc #ReForest #Agroecology #SustainableFarming #DigitalAgroecology #Innovation #Collaboration

🌿💰🌱Last week, ReForest & DigitAF projects came together for a vibrant #workshop in the Netherlands to share experience and advancements in the development of #financialtools for #agroforestry 💡Partners from ILVO (Instituut voor Landbouw, Visserij- en Voedingsonderzoek), Deutscher Fachverband für Agroforstwirtschaft (DeFAF) e.V., Cranfield University, Louis Bolk Institute, FarmTree B.V., Universoty of Pisa, and the Czech Research Institute for Landscape showcased their financial tools: 🌿Yield-SAFE 🌿#INTACT 🌿#AgroforstRechner 🌿#FarmTreeTool 🌿Czech institute's tool The participants explored how these models complement one another, exchanged feedback, and brainstormed new ideas for #collaboration by diving deeper on how to: 💡 solve real-world challenges. 💡 secure financing for agroforestry and food forests. 💡 drive research and innovation in sustainable farming. 🌳🐄An inspiring farm visit to Boerderij tussen de Hagen, a Dutch organic dairy farm transitioning to fruit and nut #agroforestry on pastureland, enriched and inspired discussions . The farm owner, Ron, shared insights into #farmmanagement, costs, and revenue, and the paths to address key challenges in his transition to agroforestry. 🤝 A big thank you to everyone involved for their energy, expertise, and commitment! #ReForest #DigitAF #Agroforestry #SustainableFarming #Innovation #Collaboration #HorizonEU #Agroforestry

🌍 ReForest was honored to participate in the Euro-Mediterranean Economists Association - EMEA side-event at COP29 Azerbaijan on "Financing Agroforestry: Exploring Diverse Financing Schemes for Sustainable Land Use". The event brought together estimated experts in finance and agroforestry for a dynamic discussion on: 🌱 Economic and environmental benefits of #agroforestry, including #biodiversity and #climateresilience. 💰 Public and private financing schemes: from PES (Payment for Ecosystem Services) to green bonds and #carboncredits. 🔄 Blended finance and impact investing: driving financial, social, and environmental outcomes. 🤝 Bridging the gap for smallholder farmers with microfinance, cooperatives, and community models. ReForest coordinator Martin Lukac emphasised the critical importance of financial support to assist farmers during the transition from monoculture farming to fully developed agroforestry systems. Some important takeaways: 📉 Traditional cost-benefit analyses often underestimate agroforestry's long-term value. 💰 Unlocking finance demands trust-building with farmers and tools to monetize agroforestry’s ecosystem services. 🌍 Aligning efforts between the Global North and South is key for equitable and impactful solutions. Watch the event recording for all insights: 👉https://lnkd.in/dmKJe8Sc 🌳 At ReForest, we’re committed to advancing sustainable agroforestry practices and supporting frameworks that make these transformative systems accessible to farmers.
