Rooted Magazine has been launched this October – this first issue explores how food system actors, including farmers, have shaped the creation and implementation of policies that enable agroecology. […] This document provides guidance for integrating agroecology and food systems into the development and implementation of National Biodiversity Strategies and Actions Plans, in alignment with the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework. […] National agricultural policies and budgets in Southern Africa largely support conventional, industrial farming practices. There is a need for governments to prioritise food sovereignty and agroecology in policy and financial investments and develop national agroecology strategies. […] Drawing from data from 11 countries, this study found that implementing livestock diversification or soil conservation tended to create beneficial social and environmental outcomes, especially for biodiversity. […] Establishing more ecologically sound food production systems such as agroecology, reducing reliance on long-distance food trade, and curbing corporate power in the food system will make food systems more resilient and less vulnerable to the broader polycrisis. […] This dossier demonstrates the potential of agroecology and organic agriculture to boost productivity and profitability while generating a range of other co-benefits. […] In a planet under polycrisis, the challenge is to transition from agroecosystems based on external inputs to one dependent on ecological processes – such as agroecology, which can improve crop productivity and resilience. […] This study in China demonstrates the benefits of diversified cropping systems, namely, improved grain and protein yields, soil health and livelihoods, along with greenhouse gas emission reductions. […] Governments are called to mobilise finance for the large-scale transitions needed towards climate-friendly food and farming, based on agroecology. […] |
