How can we deepen our connection to one another through food and organic agriculture? Last week the Conscious Food Systems Alliance (CoFSA) participated in the 7th World Organic Forum 2024 hosted by Akademie Schloss Kirchberg. Under the claim "Localizing #SDGs", the Academy for Organic Agriculture and Food continuously pursues the goal of anchoring the United Nations Agenda 2030 with the 17 #SDGs in a practice-oriented way. The focus of this multi-day development policy event was the triad of organic farming, regenerative agriculture and agroecology, as well as challenges and opportunities around key issues such as measuring ecosystem services, making carbon credits work for farmers and nature, and enhancing and monitoring soil health. "We think 'we are feeding the world' when it is in fact the Earth and Nature to which we belong which nourish all life," commented Franz-Theo Gottwald concluding the ceremony.
