🙄 #GMOs were once marketed as a solution to food insecurity. But decades later, we see the real picture: more corporate control, more chemical use, and higher risks for farmers and biodiversity. Now, the EU is making it easier for #NewGMOs to enter our food system—fewer safety checks ❌ , no clear labeling ❌ , and no real protections for farmers against contamination ❌ . While Europe is opening the door wider for agribusiness, other countries are taking a stand: 👏 Kenya banned GMO imports. 👏 The Philippines blocked the cultivation of GMO rice. 👏 Mexico outlawed GMO corn to protect its cultural and agricultural heritage. Why? Because they've seen the damage! 🍌 GMOs, old and new, are only feeding corporate profits. The latest example? A newly modified banana that doesn’t improve nutrition or support farmers, but simply extends shelf life to reduce supermarket losses. 📢 Why is the EU prioritizing deregulation and techno-fixes over real solutions? Supporting small-scale farmers and biodiversity is the only path to a truly resilient food system. #Agroecology is the future—not corporate shortcuts. 📖 Read more in our latest article https://bit.ly/41HIci8

ver heard of a guachinche? If you haven’t, you’re missing out on one of Tenerife’s best-kept secrets. These rustic, family-run spots started as a way for local winemakers to sell their homemade wine straight from the source—paired with simple, delicious Canarian dishes made from their own land. But guachinches are more than just a place to eat; they’re a living piece of Canarian culture, where tradition, community, and winemaking come together. 🍇 Today, passionate winemakers like ruku.ruku.wine and Bodega Finca Marañuela are fighting to keep this heritage alive, blending sustainable farming with age-old techniques.

What if the food on your plate carried hidden costs for animals, the planet, and people? These powerful films pull back the curtain on the realities of intensive farming, exposing the environmental toll of dairy production and the systemic issues that keep harmful practices in place. They explore the daunting challenge of feeding 10 billion people by 2050, question the corporate greenwashing of "sustainable" products, and show how small, mindful changes — like reducing waste in our kitchens and closets — can make a difference. These stories are a wake-up call, but they’re also filled with hope. They remind us that by rethinking our choices, we can build a food system that truly nourishes the earth and everyone on it. 🌍 Which one are you most curious to watch?

This International Women’s Day, we celebrate the women who cultivate more than just food — they grow resilience, preserve ancestral knowledge, and nourish entire communities. From tending heritage orchards in Scotland to cultivating medicinal plants in Uganda, these women are not only farmers but guardians of biodiversity and stewards of the earth. 🌍 Yet, despite their essential role in food systems, many face limited land rights, wage gaps, and exclusion from decision-making spaces. Slow Food Farms is changing that by amplifying their voices and fostering agroecological practices rooted in equity and justice. “Women are like Mother Earth — we nurture, cultivate, and sustain.” Read the full article to discover how these women are sowing the seeds of a more just and sustainable future for all: https://lnkd.in/erPWnn4f #SlowFood #WomenInAg #Agroecology #FoodJustice #IWD2025
