#COP16Cali event countdown! Agroecology offers a valuable opportunity that we must embrace now. This event will highlight the wide-ranging benefits that agroecological farming systems can bring, including conserving water, soil, and biodiversity, mitigating and adapting to climate change, and boosting socioeconomic resilience. Additionally, this session will raise awareness of how agroecological practices—such as soil and water conservation, intercropping, crop rotation, and diversification—reduce reliance on pesticides while maintaining crop yields, ensuring farm productivity, and preserving profitability. 24 October - 16:30 local time 📍Dutch Pavilion, Cali, Colombia.

Dispatch from #COP16 Cali! EcoAgriculture Partners' senior manager of finance and policy, Juan C. Ramos, presented our finance innovations work at the #COP16Cali event, Operationalizing Landscape Approaches to Ensure We Are on Track With the Biodiversity Plan. There, speakers from the Institute for Global Environmental Strategies (IGES), IUCN, CDP, WBCSD – World Business Council for Sustainable Development, High Ambition Coalition for Nature and People, and others explored how landscape approaches can be incorporated into national biodiversity planning and showcase initiatives that support integrated, 'whole of society' solutions. The robust conversation unearthed several key takeaways: 🌿 Landscape approaches help to achieve all the goals of the GBF - particularly target 3. Indigenous people’s and local communities’ engagement is key. The research coordinated by IPSI and IPBES has sustained this over time. 💵 🤝 Finance and the private sector need to be engaged intentionally and thoughtfully. The emerging work from CDP on reporting related to landscape initiative and the comments from Unilever connected to the Action Agenda on Regenerative Landscapes show us some pathways to engage. 🏞 There’s so much work ongoing to operationalize landscape approaches and fund them. The diversity of approaches from The International Partnership for the Satoyama Initiative (IPSI), IUCN, HAC for P&N, NBSAP Accelerator and 1000 Landscapes shows this. The strong support from the Japanese government and their biodiversity fund has helped sustain this. 💪🏾 🌐 There's still work to be done to unite more closely as a community of governments and organizations and mobilize this work at the required scale. #COP16Cali #landscapeapproaches #ThinkLandscape #Biodiversity #FinanceforBiodiversity

"Regenerative agriculture is both a process and an outcome. Farmers adopt practices such as growing cover crops and instituting mixed farming systems like agroforestry or integrated crop and livestock production. These evidence-based approaches rebuild soil health, protect water resources, restore biodiversity, and strengthen communities." Integrated landscape management (ILM) offers an inclusive, participatory pathway to regeneration and all that it entails. This article, co-authored by 1000L co-chair Sara Scherr and Climate-KIC's Kirsten Dunlop, dives into the power of landscape collaboration as a force for scaling regenerative agriculture. https://lnkd.in/erKEZFsr

It's #WorldFoodDay! 🍅 🌽 Over 13% of food produced is lost between harvest and retail. In many countries, lack of market access coupled with increasing temperatures and poor storage only exacerbates these food security challenges. In Kenya, Cheer Up Farm is paving the way for food system innovation across the Lari landscape by collaborating with local NGOs and farmers to maximize harvest yield and expand market access through solar drying. 💡The solar dryer at Cheer Up Farm is a game-changer for combating food waste and increasing income generation. With the ability to process nearly one ton of dried products monthly, #farmers are maximizing their returns and providing nutritious meals even during vegetable shortages.
