Public and private partnerships are key to sustainability in agriculture and food security.

Soil is a finite resource and a fundamental component of the natural environment. It plays a crucial role in food production. #WorldSoilDay aims to highlight these issues and advocate for #SustainableSoil management practices to ensure the well-being of current and future generations. According to the United Nations (UN), the theme of #worldsoilday2023 is “Soil and water, source of life”. #cedjuit #juit #Waknaghat

https://lnkd.in/dNmjtCYW Stop ocean acidification . Managing ocean acidification is a complex task that requires global efforts. Here are some strategies to mitigate and manage ocean acidification: 1. Reduce carbon dioxide emissions: The primary cause of ocean acidification is the excessive release of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere from human activities. By implementing policies and practices that reduce carbon dioxide emissions, such as transitioning to cleaner energy sources and enhancing energy efficiency, we can help reduce the rate of ocean acidification. 2. Promote sustainable fishing practices: Overfishing can exacerbate the effects of ocean acidification by disrupting ecosystems and food chains. Implementing sustainable fishing practices, such as setting catch limits, protecting critical habitats, and reducing bycatch, can help maintain the overall health of the marine ecosystem and make it more resilient to acidification. 3. Protect and restore coastal ecosystems: Coastal habitats, such as mangroves, salt marshes, and seagrass meadows, have the ability to absorb and store large amounts of carbon dioxide, thus reducing the impact of acidification on nearby waters. Conserving and restoring these ecosystems can help buffer against ocean acidification. 4. Promote scientific research and monitoring: Continuous monitoring and research are crucial for understanding the impacts of ocean acidification on marine life and ecosystems. By supporting scientific studies and collaborating internationally, we can improve our understanding of the problem and inform effective management strategies. 5. Increase public awareness and education: Raising awareness about ocean acidification and its consequences is vital for implementing effective management measures. Providing education and promoting public engagement can result in collective action and support for policies that address the issue. 6. Adaptation and resilience-building strategies: As the changes caused by ocean acidification are likely to continue, implementing strategies that help marine organisms and ecosystems to adapt and build resilience becomes essential. This can include protecting and conserving vulnerable species, promoting biodiversity, and developing sustainable aquaculture practices that consider the impacts of acidification. 7. International cooperation and policy development: Given that ocean acidification is a global issue, international cooperation is essential. Encouraging countries to collaborate in developing policies and frameworks to address acidification can lead to more effective management and mitigation measures. It is important to note that managing ocean acidification requires long-term commitment and multifaceted approaches. Arivo.online

🌿🇵🇰 Planting the Seeds of a Greener Pakistan 🇵🇰🌿 In 2016, during my time at NIM, the National Institute of Management Peshawar, we embarked on a meaningful initiative to make a lasting impact on our environment and community. Together with my dedicated colleagues, we rolled up our sleeves and planted trees with a vision of creating a greener, more sustainable Pakistan. Our commitment to this initiative was driven by the belief that small actions can lead to significant change. And it's incredibly heartening to see that those trees have grown over the years, contributing to a healthier ecosystem and a more beautiful Pakistan. Our mission was not just about planting trees; it was about fostering a culture of environmental responsibility and sustainability. It's a reminder that each of us has a role to play in preserving and enhancing our natural surroundings. Today, as I reflect on that experience, I'm reminded of the importance of collective action, determination, and the power of individuals coming together for a common purpose. The positive impact of these trees goes far beyond aesthetics; they help combat climate change, improve air quality, and provide habitats for wildlife. As we continue to face environmental challenges, I encourage everyone to take similar initiatives in their own communities. Plant a tree, support a local conservation project, or simply be mindful of your ecological footprint. It all matters, and together, we can contribute to a greener, more sustainable Pakistan. Let's keep nurturing our environment and fostering a sense of responsibility toward it. Our actions today will shape the world we leave for future generations. 🌳💚 #GreenPakistan #Sustainability #EnvironmentalResponsibility #NIM #TreePlanting #CommunityInitiative #Pakistan

An outstanding event took place on January 14th in the town of Figuig in Morocco : citizens collectively came together to organise a large pacifist bicycle demonstration to demand the end of water privatisation in their oasis. Citizens, including many rural workers, came together to express their concern and frustration regarding the risks of water mismanagement (in this case of sanitation and drinking water), in an oasis space which, by essence, depends on good water management. This example of privatization of a common good perfectly feeds into the current "modernization" agenda for water management in Morocco. Yet, traditional modes of governance are not outdated and may very well be part of the response to the ongoing water scarcity crisis in our country ! Over centuries, communities have accumulated knowledge and techniques to distribute water equitably and within the boundaries of natural resources through the "khattarat" system, and a democratic management system with water councils and “s’raifiyaa” organizing volumes according to the different needs of the community: irrigation, livestock, drinking water, etc. This local governance was especially relevant as the community, aware that its survival depends on reasonable withdrawals, manages it sustainably. Reversing the governance of common goods, and particularly water, is not new in Morocco. It dates from the colonial period, with privatized management in large cities from the 1910s in Fez, Rabat, Casablanca, etc. In Figuig, the management of drinking water delegated to a private company amplifies a historical dynamic of marginalization of the local population with regard to the vital resource that is water, a marginalization which is far from being specific in Figuig. Indeed, in oasis areas, the massive extraction of groundwater to irrigate industrial monocultures in the extension of oases, which is moreover subsidized by our agricultural policies, has already weakened their access to water. More than ever, we need to listen to the people of Figuig, we need to draw inspiration from the sobriety of our ancestors and reinvent our relationship with resources. #water #figuig #governance #climatechange #climateawareness #morocco

The richness of fish varieties in the northern part of Lake Tunis has always been a significant source of income for local communities and small coastal businesses. However, in recent years, the lagoon ecosystem of the Grand Lake of Tunis and Rades has been experiencing a period of excessive exploitation of fishery resources and degradation of marine habitats. To address this issue, collaboration with the community has emerged as a crucial action point in the #BleuMarine project, funded by the TAUW Foundation and implemented by AVSI in partnership with the local organization Club Bleu Artisanal. Communities have shown not only an interest in reaping the benefits of the project but have also actively engaged in seeking to contribute to the solution. And so, as a result, a new fishermen's #cooperative has been established in the Ben Arous area, with the aim of uniting voices to advocate for projects related to quality fishing that preserve natural stocks, improve the incomes of vulnerable fishermen, and enhance sustainable food production. #PeopleForDevelopment
