Agroecology prioritizes social justice, human dignity, and fair labor conditions. Socially, it emphasizes the rights of smallholders, women, and marginalized groups to access land, resources, and knowledge. Scientifically, the focus on equity encourages participatory research and the inclusion of diverse voices in developing agroecological practices. This element is key to fostering a fairer food system and improving livelihoods.

Agroecology promotes biodiversity at all levels—genetic, species, and ecosystem. Scientifically, this diversity enhances ecosystem resilience, nutrient cycling, and pest regulation. Socially, it supports food sovereignty by enabling farmers to cultivate a variety of crops, enhancing dietary diversity, cultural practices, and income streams. Diverse farms are better equipped to adapt to climate change and market fluctuations.

Fancy eating salmon? Did you know that the Atlantic is already so empty from fish that salmon farming uses krill from the Antarctic to feed the farmed salmon? First we empty the northern oceans, then the equitorial ones and now the Antarctic waters. After that, there will not be anything left. A salmon needs 1,2 kg per kg of fish or krill to feed. Why transport the feed from the other side of the world? Eat local fish. Simple. Forget salmon. Eat more vegetables. Omega 3 can be obtained also from algae. Thanks to Sea Shepherd Global for raising awareness. At Oceanry we support bringing life back into the oceans through rewilding, restoring and conservation. As part of that, ocean iron fertilization catalyses phytoplankton growth and that becomes food for krill and zooplankton. https://lnkd.in/eeDE_r4i

Research shows dodder seeds are often spread as contaminants in sugar beet, clover, alfalfa, and flaxseed, as well as by animals, contaminated soil on tools, and ploughs. Owing to the weed’s resilience and rapid spread, questions remain about how it reproduces, its host plants, and its survival adaptations. https://lnkd.in/dFxGWwm6 #DodderWeed Kenya Forestry Research Institute #Environment #FoodSecurity #ClimateChange Scholar Media Africa United Nations Environment Programme Finance Initiative (UNEP FI)

Aquatic Life Institute challenges this article which states that scaling up frog #farming 🐸will bring about a #sustainable and promising food source. Several flags immediately go up regarding #biosecurity, #zoonotic disease, water quality, and feed requirements amongst others. As we are barreling down on #2030agenda our collective reliance on industrial animal production needs to ramp down, rather than scale up, particularly around introducing new species into the global #foodsystems 🌏 Reducing portion sizes, minimizing food waste, moving to lower tropic level vegetarian species, and substituting animal protein with #plantbased alternatives is critical to reducing emissions, protecting our land and water, as well as ensuring a more just and equitable #foodsystem
Aquatic Life Institute takes a firm stance against #FrogFarming. One of our fundamental approaches to #SeafoodSystem reform is to reject the introduction additional animals into the seafood system and its supply chain. 🚫 The recently published article on The Fish Site highlights the economic impracticality of frog farming due to land costs, labor costs, climate factors, and the impact of poorly regulated wild frog harvests. Moreover, diseases such as red-leg syndrome pose serious concerns. Although antibiotics can address problems related to pathogenic bacteria, the effectiveness of this solution is constrained by issues such as #AntibioticResistance, associated costs, and concerns about residual effects. Let's continue to advocate for #sustainable and responsible #aquaculture practices.

Can pasture-fed farming improve biodiversity? 🐝🌼🌿🦉 A recent study analysed the viability and environmental impact of pasture-fed systems in the UK, particularly under Pasture for Life practices. There is an urgent need for transformational changes in agriculture in response to climate change, biodiversity loss, and socio-ecological disruption, and this study demonstrates the role Pasture for Life farm systems have in addressing these challenges as part of the agroecological transition. The research - conducted across 56 PfL member farms around the UK - displayed increased biodiversity with higher species richness in grassland swards and many had higher levels of soil carbon. These practices are aligned with agroecological approaches that focus on healthy and sustainable food production per unit of land. Higher species richness in grasslands was associated with positive measures of soil health, such as soil moisture content, carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) content and biodiversity, including soil invertebrate abundance. You can read the full study here: “Learning from Innovative Practitioners: Evidence for the Sustainability and Resilience of Pasture-Fed Livestock Systems" (Norton et al., 2022) https://lnkd.in/eded2GNk 📸 PfL certified Andy Rumming's Beef Wiltshire #Biodiversity #Environment #Nature #PastureforLife #Pasture #Farming

We are going through the week of June 17-23, 2024 and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) is recognizing and celebrating National Pollinator Week. Numbers speak for themselves as 75% of the world’s flowering plants and about 35% of the world’s food crops depend on animal pollinators to produce. Climate change is expected to become one of the main driving forces of global biodiversity decline by the end of our century. On the link below you will find a few facts you probably didn’t know about pollinators: https://lnkd.in/dJHiubdw
