🌍 For today's #SmileFriday, we're celebrating a week of so many milestones for #Agriculture around the world. On October 15th, it was International Day of #RuralWomen, and on the 17th, #WorldFoodDay. Next week, we're looking forward to #COP16 in Colombia, where everything began for Agromovil. All these events spotlight core values that Agromovil holds dear - #empowering women in agriculture, reducing #foodloss, and fostering #sustainability.🌱 But it's more than just talk. The numbers are staggering and should demand EVERYONE's attention... In 2023, a report by the Colombian Society of Farmers revealed that the agricultural sector is still dominated by men, with women earning 14% less than their male counterparts. 🤷♀️ Women need #marketaccess, and we're pleased to share an Agromovil women's milestone: for the first time in any country there are MORE WOMEN than men on the platform -- all while our numbers continue to grow (men and women) by 8+% each month! Women are #agripreneurs and they will take action! 📉 On the food loss front, the challenge is equally pressing. According to Colombia’s National Planning Department, 34% of the country’s food supply is lost or wasted each year — that's more than 9.76 million tons. (Crazy number, no?) Key to large scale #lossreduction is providing real-time visibility on available produce, so buyers and farmers can plan and match #realtime supply with demand so EVERYTHING gets sold. Another milestone: in #Colombia #smallfarmers have placed over 230 DIFFERENT products on Agromovil. 🥑 🍅 🐄 🔗 Finally, as Colombia prepares to host COP, the world's eyes (and lots of words no doubt) will be focused on our #sustainability future. In Colombia it's estimated that trucking is the cause of over 42% of CO2 emissions, and globally nearly 20% of greenhouse gasses come from food transport - equivalent to 3 gigatonnes of emissions. The fleet of trucks picking up #smallag around the world is out of date and highly polluting - often more than 20 years old. #Agdata can make pickup more efficient, reducing emissions and making the case for #cleanertransport... but we need to get farmer production on the map to make that happen. We are in a very real sense parts of a common #ecosystem -- all powered by #food and #foodsecurity. And there can be no #climate solution without major improvements in #ag #supplychains. Time for #bigthinker #leadership! #AgTech #AgriculturalInnovation #Sustainability #FoodSecurity #ZeroWaste #WorldFoodDay2024 #womeninag Ovidiu Bujorean Jack A Bobo Peter Johnson Ambassador Mark Green Rodrigo Iafelice dos Santos Margaret Zeigler Julie Borlaug

🌍 Recôncavo da Guanabara Bioregion: A Journey Towards a Regenerative Bioeconomy 🌱 On November 14, 2024, at the G20 Social in Rio de Janeiro, Sinal do Vale, Movimento Viva Agua and Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH launched a pivotal discussion on advancing a regenerative bioeconomy, focusing on the Recôncavo da Guanabara bioregion. This event discussed the report that brought together insights from over 700 stakeholders, including experts, policymakers, and community leaders, to explore sustainable solutions for global challenges like ecosystem degradation and socio-economic equity.   Key highlights included: The Theory of Change, which positions Biohubs as essential for local capacity building and systemic transformation, to facilitate collaboration and governance with multiple stakeholders at a Bioregion level to enable the creation of a regenerative Bioeconomy. Insights from distinguished speakers including Thais Corral, Marie Ikemoto and Thiago Valente on the synergy between biodiversity conservation and economic development. The discussions resulted in actionable recommendations for the G20, urging the adoption of bioregional models and the creation of robust policy frameworks to foster regenerative business practices globally. As we move toward the G20 Summit in South Africa, there's an urgent call to prioritize regenerative economic models that restore ecosystems while addressing community needs. You can download the report at www.sinaldovale.org or https://lnkd.in/dgbx-nHr For more details on the report contact Thais Corral or Katie Weintraub at contact@sinaldovale.org.   Let’s work together to drive meaningful change! 🌿 #RegenerativeEconomy #G20 #Sustainability #Bioeconomy #undecadeonecosystemrestoration
