We assess the consequences of sustainable farming practices (“Best Management Practices”) on oil palm fruit production on 40 smallholder farms in Sabah, Malaysian Borneo, and whether maintaining vegetation cover, which is linked to environmental sustainability and higher biodiversity, results in a trade-off with oil palm production. We found considerable variation...

OrganicTargets4EU aims to reach 25% of agricultural landunder organic farming and a significant increase in organic aquaculture by 2030. The European commission recognises the key role of organic farming (and aquaculture) in the transition towards a more healthy and sustainable food system and it sets ambitious targets for organic production in...

The Naoberhoeve is a Bio-dynamic social farm. The name of the farm refers to an old social system of neighbours who help each-other. In our modern interpretation of ‘’Naobership’’we share the beauty, the space and the opportunities for development of the farm with people in need of care.           The Naoberhoeve is...

The article discusses Africa’s food paradox, poised between fast food, industrial farming systems and sustainable agroecological alternatives, to conclude that it is the Global North -not Africa- that is backwards.  Imagine a country defined by deep inequalities that determine how the population live – right down to what they eat. One...

Attaining sufficiency in food supply to support a growing population without compromising ecosystem functioning remains a top agenda of researchers and agricultural stakeholders. Agroecological farming approaches are effective techniques that ensure sustainable food production even in adverse situations. Population growth has been forecasted to reach over 9.1 billion by 2050...
