“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

What is #agroecology and how can its principles help to transform our food systems for the benefit of #peopleandplanet? Watch this great explainer video by our programme manager Annelies Withofs on #internationalbiodiversityday! 🌍👏

‘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

Today, we celebrate the vital role of healthy soils in sustaining life on Earth! 🌍 Agroecology enhances soil health by promoting biodiversity, reducing chemical inputs, and improving soil structure. Let’s commit to sustainable practices that protect our soils for future generations. #WorldSoilDay #YALTAInitiative #YouthInAgroecology

Watershed was just the beginning. WASSANIndia expanded its horizons to embrace land rights, agroecology, and livelihoods—turning small experiments into far-reaching change. These early steps set the stage for sustainable solutions that empower rainfed communities. #WASSAN25Years #ExpandingHorizons #Agroecology #SustainableLivelihoods

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

This new Guidance Tool will help countries integrate agroecological principles into their National Biodiversity Strategies and Action Plans (NBSAPs), offering a pathway to address biodiversity loss driven by industrial agriculture.

IWGI participated in the annual Kimalel Goat Auction 2024 to advance agroecology awareness and showcase some of our products such as Indigenous seeds, biopesticide materials, and documentation in support of the recent national agroecology strategy. We used the opportunity to: Showcase Agroecology: Presented information on the benefits of agroecology, including improved soil health, biodiversity conservation, and climate resilience. Promote Indigenous Seeds: Displayed and discussed the importance of preserving and utilizing indigenous seeds. Highlight Biopesticides: Showcased the effectiveness and environmental benefits of using biopesticides as an alternative to harmful chemical pesticides. Advocate for the National Agroecology Strategy: Distributed information and engaged in discussions on the importance of implementing the recent national agroecology strategy. We believe this event was a valuable platform to raise awareness about the importance of sustainable and equitable agricultural practices. #Agroecology #SustainableAgriculture #BaringoCounty #CommunityDevelopment

🌾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!

🌱 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? Adopting diverse cropping systems Encouraging natural pest control Conserving soil and water Promoting local, traditional knowledge 🔍 EXPLORE Join the movement for biodiversity and sustainable agriculture!
