🌍 Happy World Earth Day! Today offers us an opportunity to take a deep dive  into the transformative power of regenerative agriculture and agroecology in nurturing our planet. 💪 Regenerative agriculture focuses on holistic land management practices that aim to regenerate ecosystems, enhance soil health, and restore biodiversity. By utilizing techniques such as cover cropping, crop rotation, and minimal to no tillage, regenerative farmers not only produce high yields but also mitigate the negative impacts of climate change. 🍀 Agroecology is a science, a practice and a movement. It takes a similar approach, emphasizing the integration of ecological principles into agricultural systems. By promoting biodiversity, natural pest control, and nutrient cycling, agroecology fosters resilient and healthy food production while preserving environmental integrity. On this Earth Day, let's celebrate the farmers and practitioners who are embracing regenerative agriculture and agroecological farming practices. Their dedication to harmonizing with nature not only ensures food security but also contributes to building a more resilient and thriving planet for future generations. Together, let's build solutions and mobilize resources and investments that accelerate smallholder farmer’s transitions to regenerative agriculture and advocate for policies and practices that prioritize regenerative agriculture and agroecology. #WorldEarthday #organic #regenerative #agriculture #agroecology

To create resilient farms that nourish communities while supporting the natural ecosystems they thrive in. Together, we can grow healthier food and a healthier planet. 🌾 #Agroecology #SustainableFarming #GreenAgriculture #Biodiversity #BlueprintInnovation #EcoFriendlyFarming #FoodSecurity

As we look to the future, we are thrilled to announce that starting next year, we will be scaling up our efforts in agroecology—an innovative and transformative approach to agriculture that harmonizes with nature while supporting resilient communities. Agroecology is more than just farming; it’s a science, a practice, and a movement. By integrating ecological principles into agricultural systems, we can restore soil health, enhance biodiversity, and sequester carbon—all while improving yields and livelihoods. It’s a win-win for our landscapes and our communities. This approach holds the key to addressing some of the greatest challenges of our time: climate change, food insecurity, and environmental degradation. By building systems that are sustainable, regenerative, and inclusive, agroecology not only ensures a stable food supply but also empowers farmers as stewards of the land. From smallholder farmers adopting organic practices to community-based initiatives rejuvenating degraded ecosystems, the potential of agroecology is immense. In 2025, we are committed to expanding these efforts, working hand-in-hand with farmers, researchers, and policymakers to create thriving landscapes and resilient communities. Together, we can grow a future that’s abundant, equitable, and green. #Agroecology #SustainableFarming #ClimateAction #LandscapesRestoration #CommunityResilience

🌱̱Do you know crop cover? 🌱 The practice of crop cover is spreading in all our growing areas and we believe in it! The principle: cover the soil as much as possible! In practical terms, an intermediate crop is deliberately planted when a plot is not being farmed and/or between cultivated rows. The crop cover is a mixture of plants sown to protect the soil from climatic risks, increase its water retention capacity, protect biodiversity, store carbon, increase the fertility of the plot and allow for better yields in the next harvest. 🌿 It is a key tool of regenerative agriculture, which aims to restore and improve soil health, increase biodiversity and strengthen agricultural ecosystems! Plant cover crops include crucifers such as daikon, grasses such as rough oats, legumes such as Persian clover, and other species such as phacelia. Each has its own specific properties, depending on the future harvests of its soil.🏵️ Bonduelle is committed to regenerative agriculture and we want 80% of partner farmers to be involved in this practice by 2030! #CropCover #RegenerativeAgriculture #Planet

Agroecology: Agroecology is an integrated approach to farming that combines ecological principles with agricultural practices to create sustainable and resilient food systems. It emphasizes biodiversity, resource efficiency, and the use of traditional knowledge alongside modern science to enhance ecosystem health and productivity. Beyond environmental sustainability, agroecology also focuses on social equity and economic viability, supporting small-scale farmers and promoting local food systems. By fostering a balanced interaction between nature and agriculture, agroecology aims to build resilient communities and reduce the need for external inputs like synthetic fertilizers and pesticides. #agroecology #whatisagroecology #sustainability #sustainableagriculture #sustainablefarming #aaryaorganics #aaryagroup

The result? Enhanced crop production and quality. In the face of declining global bee populations, this fungal-plant partnership offers a sustainable solution. Since nearly one-third of agricultural production depends on pollinators like honeybees, fostering this natural relationship could play a vital role in boosting pollination efficiency and supporting higher yields. By integrating mycorrhizal fungi into farming practices, growers can indirectly promote healthier ecosystems while improving the vibrancy and allure of flowers—making it easier for bees to do their essential work. 🌱✨ Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/e2MZ-S2d #RootsShootsFruits #SustainableFarming #GrowBetter #NewZealandGrowers

This December 5th, World Soil Day, is recognized by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), and this year’s theme is “Caring for Soils: Measure, Monitor, Manage,” which highlights the importance of accurate soil data and information to understand soil characteristics and support informed decision-making on sustainable soil management for food security. Our newest project, the Biochar plant in Delano with Sitos Group, will promote improved soil quality and contribute to environmental sustainability through carbon sequestration. Each step will be designed to reduce environmental impact and promote a healthy, long-lasting ecosystem for future generations. Why do we tirelessly care for our soil? We sustainably increase productivity by ensuring the right nutrients are available to almonds and other crops, through multi-species cover crops, animal integration, increased compost application and reduced inputs. We reduce soil erosion and compaction, preserving soil structure and longevity. We support biodiversity – living soil is a healthy environment for the entire food chain This World Soil Day, we celebrate our commitment and that of our partners at The Almond Project to agriculture that cares for soil health and reinforces our responsibility for the future. Join us on this journey to protect one of our most valuable resources! #WorldSoilDay #TheAlmondProject #TreehouseAlmonds #Biochar #SitosGroup #TreehouseCaliforniaAlmonds #RegenerativeAgriculture #Sustainability
