🌱 A milestone for regenerative agriculture in Tanzania
The final ADET Project training is complete. Farmers and students were trained in syntropic agroforestry on a 50-hectare farm owned by the Sokoine University of Agriculture.
This site will now become a hub for trainings and long-term research.

Even without robust data for v small farms, a recent Nature Food article finds "very-small-scale (≤2 ha) and small-scale (>2–20 ha) farmers make a considerable contribution to national food consumption across all studied countries" www.nature.com/articles/s43...

The artificial intelligence and robotics being developed by multi-billionaires will allow corporate America to wipe out tens of millions of decent-paying jobs, cut labor costs and boost profits.

What happens to working class people who can’t find jobs because they don’t exist?

What you are doing @agroecologymap.bsky.social is a fantastic job, strengthening our regenerative global network! Keep up the good work for many more years to come! Together we are strong 💪🌳🌴🫜. Your initiative clearly shows this; at these difficult times, that's precisely what we need!

Hi @cfstruefood.bsky.social , very intersting, but your link does not work. I was so keen to learn more about it that I followed up. www.centerforfoodsafety.org/reports/7018...

In the #Syntropic #Agroforestry #Innovation #Accelerator, progress comes not from pushing harder but from letting go—of chemicals, of isolation, of old top-down models. By removing barriers and trusting #co-creation, nature and communities regenerate and flourish on their own.

Extreme heat is forcing farmers to work overnight, an adaptation that comes with a cost Farmers and fisherfolk across the world are shifting into nighttime work to escape perilous heat.

The Night Shift.

With extreme heat making it perilous to work during the day, farmers and fisherfolk worldwide are adopting overnight hours. That comes with new dangers.

Aus NLO wird Green Bridges Warum unser Verein einen neuen Namen trägt – und was dahintersteckt

From selling all I had and starting with just a backpack, the journey led to 15+ years of building agroecology projects in Africa. What began with the founding of SAT in Tanzania has grown into Green Bridges: supporting agroforestry.

Limits to Growth was right about collapse The only question is whether we manage degrowth or just let it happen to us. This isn’t a neutral question. I know which one of these is worse.

The flower fix: how nature could slash farm costs Planting wildflowers between apple trees could save UK farmers up to £3,000 per hectare per year

Aphids can ruin apple crops. But a trial found orchards with wildflower strips had just a third of the damage.

It’s a natural solution with big potential – perfect for Nature-Friendly Farming Week!

Here’s what the study found:

Two-thirds of global heating caused by richest 10%, study suggests Paper in Nature Climate Change journal reveals major role wealthy emitters play in driving climate extremes

What Europe and the US need to understand when researchers say: "We found that the wealthiest 10% contributed 6.5 times more to global warming than the average, with the top 1% and 0.1% contributing 20 and 76 times more.” -> it's simply a duty to take action!!!

Growing an urban 'food forest' in South Auckland A researcher has partnered with a South Auckland marae to grow an urban "food forest" with the goal of using it as a seed for future change.

The forest at Papatūānuku Kōkiri in Māngere has been up and running for five years using a food growing technique called syntropic agroforestry, where ideally food is grown without relying on outside inputs like fertilizers and fossil fuels.

A young, energetic organization that really knows how to inspire youth to get active in tree planting and agriculture! My Birthday Tree Organisation doesn't joke around it; it instead mobilises hundreds of young folks. Wonderful—that's exactly what we need. It's great to have it here in #Tanzania!

Badenoch 'in pay of climate deniers' Kemi Badenoch, leader of the Conservative Party in Britain, accused of being “in the pay of the climate deniers” over attack on net zero 2050 target.

“If you want to know where all the objections to net zero have come from, then you have to follow the money. The Conservative Party leader has abandoned net zero by 2050 because she is in the pay of the climate deniers in Tufton Street.”
