Growing, processing and transporting food accounts for one-third of all global greenhouse gas emissions, but just 3% of public climate finance goes to food systems. Untapped Opportunities: Climate Financing for Food Systems Transformation presents the case for food systems as a climate solution and priority, with recommendations for action. This includes the...

For decades, mainstream climate debates, both nationally and internationally, largely ignored agriculture. Now, thankfully, the climate community has woken up to the importance of agriculture and food systems in tackling climate change. At the same time, this new awareness makes it imperative that climate experts who are new to the...

I learned from Ing. Abrahán Mujica how you can culture your own microorganisms, using some simple equipment and a few inexpensive ingredients. Abrahán showed me and a small group at his agroecology course that you can start by collecting some leaf litter. We gathered the leaves and topsoil from the...

Untapped Opportunities for Climate Action: An Assessment of Food Systems in Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) presents the main findings of an analysis of how 14 countries have incorporated food systems into their NDCs, with recommendations for action. Food systems not only contribute to and are significantly affected by climate change,...

This report summarizes the findings of a literature review on women's management of terrestrial ecosystems in the Andes. This review was conducted with the purpose of characterizing the scientific knowledge, including gaps, which guide public policy and decision making regarding women's roles in the context of biodiversity and climate change. ...

This guide is based on information from the Food Plants International (FPI) database developed by Tasmanian agricultural scientist Bruce French. The source material and guidance for the preparation of the book has been made possible through the support of Food Plants International, the Rotary Clubs of District 9830, particularly the...

Across the globe, people are transforming food systems to become more nutritious, equitable and sustainable. Hear how one town in northern Italy sparked a global movement to bring about change to local food systems.

This is the monthly newsletter of the EU Food Loss and Waste Prevention Hub, incorporating information on the latest activities of its members. The newsletter is created and disseminated by the Platform’s Secretariat, within the Directorate-General for Health and Food Safety.The contents of the newsletter do not necessarily reflect the position...

Variables of bacterial division such as size at birth, growth rate, division time, and the position of the septal ring, all vary from cell to cell. Currently, it is unknown how these random fluctuations can combine to produce a robust mechanism of homeostasis. To address this question, we studied the...

Throughout these 30 years, the political proposals of La Via Campesina have remained valid and more relevant than ever, and peasants play a fundamental role in Food Sovereignty, in the conservation of biodiversity, in the production of healthy food with agroecological practices, in markets, in the family economy, and in political and...

This 6-week course aims at helping you discover what agroecology is, through the complexity of the various approaches that have emerged over the years and in various regions of the world, and through the ways, they can be implemented in the fields, and studied, as agricultural practices. The syllabus is designed...

Recent years have seen Brazil’s social and environmental policies weakened and dismantled at a frightening scale. Rights violations, lack of access to benefits, and a complete disregard for the sector during the pandemic has led to a rise in inequality and poverty. Our research confirms a lack of government initiative...

Actualmente nos encontramos ante una cadena de suministro cada vez más avanzada e interconectada en donde la trazabilidad se ha convertido en una práctica que permite optimizar las actividades operacionales y logísticas de los procesos de producción y acondicionamiento, en la cual el cacao (Theobroma cacao) y sus derivados agroindustriales...

The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) is further stepping up efforts to boost food security and support for agriculture-based livelihoods of vulnerable rural communities in Afghanistan most severely affected by continuing drought, deep economic crisis and the devastating impacts of the recent deadly earthquake. A new USD...

Many intracellular events trigger upon attaining critical concentrations of their corresponding regulatory proteins. How cells ensure precision in the timing of these events is a fundamental problem. Models used to study protein dynamics often do not explicitly account for cell growth and consider the dilution by the growth as equivalent...

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...
