📢 A transition to agroecology and regenerative food systems would help us meet our climate, biodiversity and food security targets. 🎯 Transitioning to agroecology requires USD 430 billion annually. But right now it only gets USD 44 billion. In contrast, nearly USD 630 billion goes annually towards agriculture subsidies, half of which are harmful. ☠️ This doesn't add up. We need to transform our food systems. Read more in our article authored with IKEA Foundation and McKnight Foundation via Common Dreams: https://bit.ly/3X5eUsY #agroecology #climatefinance

If a ripple effect at behaviour change could be supported maybe current funds could be used better? In the US for example, one of the biggest polluters and producers of food - small targeted grants or low interest loans with educational and biological support could speed up this process? #regenag #transition

#regenerativeagriculture #agroecology the future of agroecosystems lies in the nature based solutions that include soil and water conservation without which the brutality of nature will show it’s unforgiving face. Humanity needs to give back to nature as much as we take away from it. Giving and receiving is and has always been a vicious cycle of interdependence between humankind and nature.

🌾Our partner, Global Alliance for the Future of Food, recently released a report showcasing the importance of the transition to agroecology and regenerative food systems.   Current investments in the transition to regenerative food systems are estimated at $44 billion per year, with many farmers, fishers, food producers, governments, and companies supporting agroecology and regenerative approaches. However, more work needs to be done, with the report approximating a necessary tenfold increase in current annual philanthropic, public, and private investments to support the transition.   🌿Regen10 recognises this urgency, and our #TransitionPathways analysis also looks at the cost of moving landscapes towards regenerative agricultural approaches, highlighting the trade-offs and returns of embarking on this journey.    ⬇️To discover more about our Transition Pathways analysis, press the link in the comments. ⬇️Follow the link below to read the Global Alliance for the Future of Food  report on Cultivating Change!

🌱 Transforming our food systems is crucial for sustainability, resilience, and equity. Agroecology offers a powerful approach to address these challenges.

Agroecology promotes #Circular and #Solidarity #Economy. Agroecology advocates for economies that prioritize community well-being over profit maximization. Socially, this means building #solidarity among #farmers, consumers, and other stakeholders, fostering local markets and fair trade systems. Scientifically, this circular approach reduces #waste, enhances resource efficiency, and promotes the sustainable use of local #ecosystems, contributing to long-term ecological and #social health. 10 Elements of Agroecology https://lnkd.in/dAvD8_it #agroecology #agroecología #agroécologie #agrarökologie

Agroecology offers a powerful solution to the challenges facing today’s food systems. 🌱 It empowers communities and addresses root issues like inequality and environmental degradation. As an analytical tool, the 10 Elements can help countries to operationalise agroecology. They offer a  practical framework to guide countries, policymakers, and practitioners in transitioning to more sustainable and resilient food systems. 🍅🐐🌳 Stay tuned to learn about the other elements of agroecology! 🌍 Read more here: https://lnkd.in/eexbakhE #Agroecology #SustainableAgriculture #FoodSystems

‘Cultivating Change Gathering: Regenerative and Agroecological Food Systems Transformation’ this was a one-week international conference that brought together over 120 leaders from around the world to scale and accelerate regenerative and agroecological food systems transformations.  An ambitious transition to agroecology and regenerative approaches can reverse biodiversity loss and increase food security. The Cultivating Change Gathering will build on a co-design process with partners on the ground in key countries and regions. Glory to God...#Agroecology #Sustainability #Agrosystems
