🌾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!

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.

📢 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

“Accelerating agroecology helps us transform food systems to promote human well-being and to respect the limits of our planet.” Annelies Withofs, Programme Manager at the IKEA Foundation, explains why agroecology should be #PartOfThePlan to transform our food systems for people and the planet 🌍 Watch the video to learn more about biodiversity loss, and follow us to see the amazing work our partners are doing for #FoodSystemsTransformation 🧑🤝🧑 #BiodiversityDay #PeopleAndPlanet #ClimateSolutions #ClimateChange

With industrial food systems driving global biodiversity loss, we need to rapidly scale better ways to produce food. Agroecology supports biodiversity, soil health, livelihoods and more. Learn more from IKEA Foundation ⬇ #BiodiversityDay

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. The fifth element of agroecology, recycling, supports multiple benefits such as supporting the autonomy of producers and reducing vulnerability to climate shock through closing nutrient cycles and reducing waste products. Stay tuned to learn about the other elements of agroecology! 🌍 Read more here: https://lnkd.in/eexbakhE #Agroecology #SustainableAgriculture #FoodSystems

🌱 Boosting Biodiversity Action Through Agroecology 🌿 🌍 WHY? Biodiversity is the foundation of life on Earth, supporting healthy ecosystems and resilient food systems. Protecting and restoring it is crucial for sustainable development and combating climate change. 🌾 WHAT? Agroecology integrates ecological principles into agricultural systems, creating harmonious landscapes where biodiversity thrives. It’s about fostering coexistence between farming and nature. 🛠️ HOW?
