SEKEM Group’s Post

COP16Riyadh is featuring today the UN Environment Programme Champions of the Earth, including the biodynamic SEKEM Group in Egypt, an exemplar in how farming can counter land degradation and desertification in ways that IUCN supports wholeheartedly:

🌱 Carbon Farming: A Triple Win for the Environment, Farmers, and Communities 🌍 Carbon farming holds incredible potential to combat climate change while delivering tangible benefits to farmers and the communities around them. By adopting sustainable practices farmers can improve soil health, capture carbon, and create new income streams through carbon credits. At INNO4CFIs Project, we are committed to driving the adoption of carbon farming across Europe, fostering innovation through our Living Labs and supporting farmers in their journey toward sustainability. Together, we can create resilient ecosystems and empower communities to thrive in a low-carbon future.

CGIAR is committed to tackling land degradation through sustainable land management (SLM) practices. CGIAR’s #COP16Riyadh issue brief explores innovative solutions for restoring agricultural landscapes, advancing climate-resilient agri-food systems, and contributing to the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Key highlights include: 🔹 Agroecological and regenerative approaches 🔹 Tools for monitoring and managing land degradation 🔹 Conservation agriculture and integrated desert farming innovations These solutions offer transformative potential, not just for food security, but for the health of our ecosystems and communities. We invite you to explore the full brief and join us in scaling up these vital practices. Here: https://lnkd.in/d_csWu4n #UNCCDCOP16

"“The collaboration under Carbon Craft, for Jordan and for the world, is a way, a response to a need, to find a tangible way to build something that people can rely on.” Elham Abbadi, Permaculture and Ecosystems Restoration Practitioner; Founder of Carbon Credit Hub, Operator of Al Bayoudha Agricultural Cooperative, Founder of Al Balqa Innovation Institute envisions a collaborative effort whereby people benefit from 'taking care of, not advantage of' the unique resources on which communities are dependent, reaping greater benefit from quality products resulting from sustainable agricultural projects and ecosystems restoration. This is where carbon credits can aid in providing added value to localized efforts through the Carbon Credit Hub (a collaborator within Carbon Craft) by agglomerating farmers and proliferating mutually beneficial practices. Upcoming: Carbon Credit Hub and Al Bayoudha Agricultural Cooperative's initiatives 'National Afforestation Project' and 'Community Sustainable Farming' Elham R.

Excited to share our latest collaboration with experts, extension staff, Engro Group, PepsiCo, and Fatima Group on a single platform! Together, we're enhancing knowledge and providing guidance on soil management and addressing climate vulnerability under the Bonsucro Impact Fund project. Our joint efforts aim to drive sustainable agricultural practices and fortify our resilience against climate challenges. This collaboration marks a significant step towards ensuring the sustainability and productivity of our agricultural sector. #SustainableAgriculture #SoilManagement #ClimateResilience #BonsucroImpactFund #EngroGroup #PepsiCo #FatimaGroup #AgricultureInnovation #SustainableFarming #ClimateAction #AgriTech #SoilHealth #GreenFarming #ClimateAdaptation #AgriBusiness #FoodSecurity #EcoFriendlyFarming #CropManagement #Agroecology #FarmSustainability #ClimateSmartAgriculture #SoilConservation #RegenerativeAgriculture #AgriDevelopment #SustainablePractices #PrecisionAgriculture #SoilScience #EnvironmentalStewardship #FarmInnovation #AgricultureResearch #GreenAgriculture #SustainableGrowth

🌍This #WorldEnvironmentDay, we are proud to highlight the pioneering efforts of the #MAIA project in combating #ClimateChange through scientifically backed solutions. This year, the UN Environment Programme's campaign theme is "Our land. Our future." We join their call to implement measures that mitigate the effects of climate change, such as agroforestry, greening our cities, harvesting rainwater, and consuming soil-friendly foods. 🌱Check out our series of 6 webinars on sustainable agriculture solutions, where experts share their insights and actionable strategies. 🌱Check out projects like BEATLES project EU, which promotes sustainable agriculture in Europe through behavior change and technology. Together, we can create a resilient and thriving future for our planet! https://lnkd.in/dHwVirGJ 🔗 Register for our newsletter to stay updated on all our webinars and activities (scroll to bottom of the homepage): https://lnkd.in/df_b_s82 #SustainableAgriculture #MAIAsolutions #ClimateAction #GenerationRestoration
