In 2020, the Tool for Agroecology Performance Evaluation (TAPE) was used in Mali to assess the status of the agroecological transition of local farms and to identify its correlation with farms' quantitative performance across the economic, social, and environmental dimensions of sustainability. This study aims to present the evidence on the multidimensional performance...

Global agricultural production increasingly lacks technologies and alternatives for vegetable production without harming the environment, as well as for the recovery of degraded areas. In this regard, rhizo- spheric fungi promote plant growth and are widely used in agriculture. Stonemeal is a process that uses a large amount of rock...

La transmisión del HLB se da a través del adulto y ninfas de los instares III, IV y V. El adulto se reconoce por su postura en ángulo de 45°, alas de color castaño, antenas pequeñas y de punta negra. Las ninfas son de color amarillo, ojos rojos, alas primordiales...

In this study, we propose a family of correlation structures for crossover designs with repeated measures for both, Gaussian and non-Gaussian responses using generalized estimating equations (GEE). The structure considers two matrices: one that models between-period correlation and another one that models within-period correlation. The overall correlation matrix, which is...

In this video, Nasira Habib shares her experience of making vermicompost in her garden. Vermicompost is a super compost. Worms turn your kitchen and other green waste into soil rich in nutrients and loaded with microorganisms that create and maintain healthy soil for us. Vermicomposting also helps us keep our...

On the 6th of July 2022, the second AE4EU mapping webinar took place covering the development of agroecology in Italy and Greece. Documenting and analyzing the development of agroecology in different countries and context is important to enhance the up- and out-scaling of agroecology at the European level. With an...

We’re back on Ciasnocha Family Farm in Poland, where bad weather and the pressures of war in neighbouring Ukraine have made for a difficult season of haymaking. Mateusz and family like to look to the long term. But right now many decisions are on hold as they wait for the...

In January 2022, SHI launched Promoter 4 Change, a farmer-to-farmer training program creating rural climate resilience, biodiversity, and new economic opportunities through sustainable farming practices. Sustainable Harvest International’s (SHI) new pilot project in Honduras offers an important and innovative solution to the region’s persistent issues of food insecurity and economic instability, two...

En el año 2016, docentes del área Fruticultura de la Cátedra de Cultivos Intensivos y de Edafología de la FCA de la UNR, comenzamos una investigación para evaluar el comportamiento de las coberturas orgánicas e inorgánicas denominadas técnicamente “mulchings”, comparándolas con las prácticas tradicionales para el control de malezas utilizadas en...

Although Africa’s greenhouse gas emissions are low, its contribution to climate change mitigation is critical to global climate action. This report evaluates Africa’s climate policy through the lens of ‘common but differentiated responsibilities,’ an asymmetrical allocation of responsibility for climate action, determined by differences in countries’ contributions to historical emissions...

Leave NO ONE behind 2022 finds us with an ongoing pandemic, conflict, a climate that won’t stop warming, rising prices and international tensions. This is affecting global food security. We need to build a sustainable world where everyone, everywhere has regular access to enough nutritious food. No one should be left behind.

El flujo de caja va a depender de la cantidad, calidad y precio del producto en el mercado. Teniendo en cuenta el ciclo de producción, se debe estimar para Tolima, renovación de cultivo al décimo año de producción. Para Santander, se mantiene constante por un periodo mayor a 10 años....

Wood Pocket no tiene asociado un patógeno, es un desorden fisiológico que está relacionado a climas cálidos y secos, este genera muerte descendente en tejidos, ocasionando que el árbol muera deshidratado. Se presenta en el Tolima con un déficit hídrico cercano al 34%, y suelos arenosos con excesivo drenaje. Más Información: Bibliografía...

Hyperhydricity can affect the development of plant morphology. A better understanding of the anatomical and physiological changes of hyperhydric plants is needed to predict and control the occurrence of hyperhydryc conditions. The aim of this study is to demonstrate the role of oxidative stress in hyperhydricity. To this end, the...

Documenting and analyzing the development of agroecology in different countries and context is important to enhance and out-scaling of agroecology at the European level. Based on the AE4EU project (Agroecology for Europe https://www.ae4eu.eu), a mapping of agroecology in Austria and Germany in its different dimensions was achieved to provide an...

Sustainable agrifood systems are critical to averting climate-driven social and ecological disasters, overcoming the growth paradigm, and redefining the interactions of humanity and nature in the twenty-first century. This Perspective describes an agenda and examples for comprehensive agrifood system redesign according to principles of sufficiency, regeneration, distribution, commons, and care....

Andrea Battiata is an Italian organic farmer. He has developed an alternative type of farming, which restores nutrients to the soil, sequesters CO2, is more resilient to climate change, and mimics what happens in nature, particularly in forests. His CSA provides vegetables to 100 families. Watch his story.
