Urban and peri-urban lands have potential for local, sustainable food production, but their soils are often degraded or unsafe due to human activity. This study examines how compost made from urban and industrial organic waste can help restore soil for agroecological farming. Conducted in Rosario, Argentina, five types of compost were...

Para facilitar una transición de la agricultura convencional, es imperativo fortalecer los vínculos entre la política y la agroecología. La agroecología no debe entenderse sólo como el resultado de una serie de propiedades físicas y biológicas porque también refleja relaciones socioculturales de poder. Por lo que para promover una transición...

The PATH2DEA project, funded by Horizon Europe and the Swiss State Secretariat for Education, Research, and Innovation, explores how combining digitalization with agroecology can drive sustainability in EU food and farming systems. With six showcases from diverse small-holder farms across Europe, PATH2DEA highlights real-life experiences through engaging podcasts featuring farmers...

Unsustainable food systems are the leading threat to both nature and human health, but transforming these systems presents an opportunity to address multiple global crises. Food systems transformation is increasingly recognized as essential for reversing nature loss, limiting global warming to 1.5°C, adapting to climate change, and ensuring global access...

Agricultural biodiversity, or agrobiodiversity, is essential for food security and livelihoods. It includes the variety of plants, animals, and microorganisms used for food production, covering crops, livestock, forestry, and fisheries. This biodiversity has developed over thousands of years through natural and human influences. However, modern farming methods have reduced agrobiodiversity,...
