📊 Results from the
@agtransect.bsky.social
project, including a meta-analysis of 170 papers led by Cian Blaix www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti..., show the environmental benefits of agroecology 🦋
📅 On Nov. 20 hear from experts on how to enable policy to support agroecology & its impacts!

"It's important to look at the cost of non-action – the ramifications for humans are catastrophic."

Hear from Alexandra Waldman and other expert speakers on shaping evidence-based policy for #Sustainable #FoodSystems

Only 1.5% of Gaza cropland left for starving Palestinians due to Israel’s war, UN says Figure down from 4% in April, suggesting Israel has continued to target farmland in once-abundant Gaza Strip Israel’s destruction of Gaza has left starving Palestinians with access to only 1.5% of cropland that is accessible and suitable for cultivation, according to new figures from the UN. This is down from 4% in April, according to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), suggesting Israel has continued to target Palestinian farmland since initiating a complete blockade in early March, severely restricting aid from entering the Gaza Strip, where 2 million starved people are trapped.

‘If I die, I want a loud death’: Gaza photojournalist killed by Israeli airstrike Fatima Hassouna, who had been documenting war in Gaza for 18 months and was subject of new documentary, killed along with 10 members of her family

“If I die, I want a loud death. I don’t want to be just breaking news, or a number in a group, I want a death that the world will hear.”
She was about to get married; a film about her life in Gaza had just been finished.
10 of her family were killed with her.

Opinion | What Autocrats Want From Academics: Servility In 1931, Italian scholars were made to take loyalty oaths. Will that happen to us?

‘It may seem prudent now to keep our heads down & hope this storm passes. History tells us this is unlikely. If we continue to preemptively change our language pretend that the deep inequities..are not relevant..we will find ourselves,perhaps not so long from now without any dignity left to protect’

Why farmers are beginning to take their government to court over climate change How a Swiss lawsuit is recasting agriculture’s role in climate policy.

Swiss farmers are suing their gov't to act on #climatechange before their farms become unviable, citing losses of 10–40% over the past 3 years

Case was initially rejected & plaintiffs are still awaiting the outcome of an appeal

But it marks a significant shift in farmers' attitudes on the issue:

Pensioenfondsen, breek met BlackRock! BlackRock is de grootste vermogensbeheerder ter wereld en een sleutelspeler in de financiering van fossiele bedrijven. Veel Nederlandse pensioenfondsen zoals ABP en PFZW beloven verantwoord te belegge...

Pensioenfondsen als ABP en PFZW laten ons pensioengeld beheren door klimaatvervuiler BlackRock, en versterken zo hun macht.

Dit brengt onze planeet én ons pensioen in gevaar. Tijd voor actie.
