🌍 World Soil Day 2024: Protecting the Wealth Beneath Our Feet! 🌱 Today, we celebrate one of the most valuable treasures of our planet: soil. This living, complex ecosystem is key to food production, water regulation, and biodiversity. Yet, it is often overlooked and endangered by erosion, degradation, and unsustainable agricultural practices. At #Solevo , we are committed to promoting sustainable farming practices to safeguard this vital resource. Our approach includes: ✅ Using adapted and resilient seed varieties, ✅ Reducing the use of chemical inputs, ✅ Raising awareness among farmers about the importance of sustainable soil management. 📢 Let’s act together! Whether you're a farmer, an industry professional, or a concerned citizen, every effort counts to preserve soil fertility and health for future generations. 🌱 How are you contributing to soil preservation?

#WorldEnvironmentDay 💧The health of natural ecosystems like #waterways is directly influenced by water and land management decisions. These decisions subsequently affect the availability and quality of water. 🧑🏽🌾 Recognizing the urgent need to care for #water ecosystems to preserve water resources/quality, we co-created the Regenerative Agriculture on Impluviums project, along with Danone Ecosystem, in 2019. The aim is to protect French underground waters against pollution by helping farmers working near #watersheds to implement regenerative agricultural practices. #Farmers participating in the Regenerative Agriculture project actively help to protect water resources and biodiversity! 

🌍 World Soil Day 🌱 This year's theme reminds us of the critical importance of soil health in sustaining life on Earth. Healthy soils are the foundation of food security, climate resilience, and ecosystem health—yet they are under constant threat from degradation, erosion, and unsustainable farming practices. But there’s hope—and innovation. ✨ The UPSCALE through push-pull technology, an agroecological innovation, that not only boosts yields and deters pests but also improves soil health. 🌾 How does push-pull impact soil? ✔️ Enhances organic matter through crop residues. ✔️ Promotes biodiversity. ✔️ Reduces soil erosion with cover crops and ground cover. ✔️ Improves water retention and fertility for long-term sustainability. 💡 Join us in celebrating soils and advancing sustainable practices.🌱 #WorldSoilDay #UPSCALEProject #SoilHealth #Agroecology #Sustainability #PushPullTechnology

Biodiversity in agricultural ecosystems, as in natural ecosystems, is highly threatened, and this has very real consequences for the resilience and sustainability of both the production of food and environmental goods and services provision. The reduction of biodiversity in agriculture diminishes the ecosystem functions that contribute to local, regional and, when scaled, global processes. To ensure environmental and climate security this decade, a transition is necessary towards treating agricultural lands as ecosystems, and greater investment in research, practices, technologies and incentives that reward the efforts of farmers for the environmental services they produce, as much as for the foods. This is exactly what PUR is committed to when implementing regenerative agriculture projects across various regions and diverse farming systems: by identifying and implementing practices tailored to the unique characteristics of each area and the needs of local farmers, PUR strives to create sustainable solutions that truly make a difference. #biodiversity  #naturebasedsolutions #regenerativeagriculture

Biodiversity highlights the vital role that diverse organisms play in maintaining the health and richness of ecosystems. While we often think of vibrant rainforests or colorful coral reefs, farmland biodiversity is equally important and increasingly being recognized. Regenerative agriculture embraces this concept by offering farmers innovative practices that not only boost food production but also nurture resilient ecosystems. By focusing on biodiversity, regenerative agriculture paves the way for a more sustainable and thriving agricultural future! WIST can help you explore how you can take steps to support agricultural biodiversity and integrate sustainable practices. We can help you meet your sustainability goals.

Happy World Environment Day! 🌍 As an Agricultural Economist, I understand the intricate connection between agriculture and our environment. Today, we celebrate the incredible biodiversity of our planet and reflect on our role in protecting and sustaining it. Agriculture is not just about food production; it's about nurturing ecosystems, conserving natural resources, and ensuring the sustainability of our planet for future generations. Our industry has a significant impact on the environment, from soil health and water usage to greenhouse gas emissions and biodiversity. On this day, let's commit to sustainable agricultural practices that minimize our ecological footprint. By embracing innovative solutions such as precision farming, organic agriculture, and agroforestry, we can enhance productivity while preserving our natural resources. Together, we can build a future where agriculture and the environment thrive in harmony. Let's make every day World Environment Day through our actions and choices. #WorldEnvironmentDay #Sustainability #AgriculturalEconomics #EcoFriendlyFarming #Biodiversity #SustainableAgriculture

🌱 Soil Organic Matter (SOM) is more than just a carbon source – it’s the lifeblood of healthy soils. By feeding soil organisms, it boosts microbial activity, enhances nutrient cycling, and supports biodiversity. Healthy soil = healthy plants, healthy ecosystems, and sustainable agriculture. 🌍💚 Explore more of the MarginUp!

🌍 ** Embracing Soil Health and Regenerative Agriculture ** 🌱 Improving soil health is critical for overcoming these challenges. Regenerative agriculture, defined as the process of restoring degraded soils using ecological principles, offers a promising solution. This holistic approach considers the interactions among soil, water, plants, animals, and humans as interconnected parts of a whole system. **Benefits of Regenerative Agriculture:** - Increased soil organic matter and biodiversity. - Healthier, more productive soil that is drought- and flood-resilient. - Reduced use of chemical inputs and pollution. - Cleaner air and water. - Enhanced wildlife habitats. - Soil carbon capture to combat climate variability. With regenerative agriculture, we aren't just sustaining land resources; we're improving them for future generations. Prioritizing soil health and sustainable practices is key to ensuring resilient and profitable farming. #Agriculture #SoilHealth #RegenerativeAgriculture #Sustainability #CropProduction #SeedPotatoes #Agribusiness #FoodSecurity #FarmingResilience #ClimateAction

🌏 𝐍𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐄𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐡, 𝐍𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐎𝐮𝐫 𝐅𝐮𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 🌱 Today, on #WorldSoilDay , let's celebrate the unsung hero of our food system: Soil. It's the foundation of life, providing essential nutrients for plant growth and supporting biodiversity. Our AviSpray 16 is a powerful tool in preserving soil health. By enabling precise and efficient crop spraying, we can reduce chemical usage, minimize soil erosion, and promote sustainable agriculture. Let's work together to protect our soil and ensure a sustainable future for generations to come. #avironix #SoilHealth #SustainableAgriculture #DroneTechnology #AviSpray16

Every year, 100M hectares of land are degraded through unsustainable practices. This threatens food security, biodiversity, and livelihoods. FAO is helping communities restore land, promote regenerative agriculture, and teach sustainable practices.   Join the conversation: How can we all contribute to saving our lands?   Read more: https://bit.ly/3VralXk
