The book shows that beyond the great bioclimatic, agroecological and socio-economic differences between the livestock farming contexts on a global scale and the diversity of livestock farming practices, there are striking similarities in the dynamics of livestock farming over the long term, similarities that partly result from public policies. It brings...

En el marco del 2º Congreso Chileno de Agroecología, Emiliano González, extensionista del programa Manejo Territorial de Insectos (MTI), presentó la ponencia "Núcleos de Aprendizaje Participativo: lecciones a tres de su implementación en la región de Valparaíso"; relato que da cuenta sobre la conformación de una red colaborativa y de...

En la actualidad, aprovechar instalaciones en la industria para modificar, reanimar o reconvertir sus producciones, resulta importante para la disminución de costos inversionistas y el incremento de ladisponibilidad de las plantas. En este sentido, la investigación tiene como objetivo realizar un estudio previo inversionista, en un complejo azucarero con plantas...

En el marco del 2º Congreso Chileno de Agroecología, la Dra. Isabel González, coordinadora científica de centro Ceres, presentó la ponencia "Captura de Carbono en sistemas de producción de frutales bajo manejo agroecológico y convencional en Chile Central", estudio que buscó comprobar la hipótesis de que el manejo agroecológico aumenta...

The EESC recognises the role of organic farming in achieving the objectives of the European Green Deal and sees this action plan for the development of organic production as a solid basis for developing the organic sector in a sustainable manner. It supports in particular the Commission's market-oriented approach to...

The initiative is located in the Chittoor district in the Rayalaseema region of the Indian state of Andhra Pradesh. With a tropical climate, Chittoor is one of the most drought prone districts in the country, a problem exacerbated by depletion of natural resources, global warming, increasing population pressure, pollution, loss...

Farmers in Kenya’s arid Tharaka Nithi county are growing fresh vegetables thanks to the use of an organic fertilizer known as bokashi. Made from a mix of farmyard waste, bokashi adds both nutrients and microorganisms to the soil, unlike chemical fertilizers that add only nutrients that are quickly consumed or washed...

La superficie mundial con suelos halohidromórficos ronda los 830-1000 millones de hectáreas (Szabolcs 1990; Martinez-Beltran y Manzur 2005). Argentina es el tercer país con mayor superficie afectada por sales y sodio luego de Rusia y Australia (Abrol et al., 1988; Lavado y Taboada 2009) mientras que, en el ámbito local,...

The initiative is located on the Deccan Plateau of India. The climate is semi-arid in the north but tropical elsewhere. The majority of the farming population own less than one hectare of land and live and work in fragile environments, with little capital for investment and few off-farm employment opportunities....

A systems transformation approach for food, land and water systems requires leaning towards embracing circularity in the use of natural resources, boosting environmental and ecosystem health in step with productivity, diversifying agricultural and food systems, and supporting healthy human diets. These improvements must go hand in hand with more equitable...

The leader of the Community Managed Natural Farming (CMNF) programme Vijay Kumar explains the Social Capital side of the story, and how women’s groups were a central part of the success of CMNF, now recognised worldwide as a model of agricultural transformation. The CMNF initiative has mobilised over a million...

Business as usual is no longer an option for today’s global agriculture system: biodiversity loss and nitrogen pollution are exceeding planetary limits, and catastrophic risks of climate change demand immediate action. Agroecology involves the application of ecological principles for the design and management of sustainable agroecosystems. Agroecological innovations promote circular systems that involve...

Formed in 2007, Food Plant Solutions Rotary Action Group (FPS) creates science-based educational materials, which: identify highly nutritious local food plants, explain how to grow them in a sustainable, agroecological way, detail the nutritional value of the plants and describe why human bodies require those nutrients. The resources created by FPS allows people to better...

The leaflet presents the activities of the second component of the project “Strengthening Agro-climatic Monitoring and Information Systems (SAMIS) to improve adaptation to climate change and food security in Lao PDR” held in collaboration with the International Center for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT) De Risk project (Applying seasonal climate forecasting and...

“We, farmers in Asia, join the global call to action against climate change. We call on the world leaders attending the COP26 to recognize family farmers as solution providers and to invest in establishing a Farmers’ Empowerment and Climate Resiliency Trust Fund. We are watching you, so act now. Act...
