Regenerative agriculture is important in so many ways and to so many sectors. This event will provide a useful insight into the topic and to hear the latest updates on best practice, innovation and the policy landscape around this topic. #regenerativeagriculture #soilhealth #sustainableagriculture #sustainability

Proud of our colleague Giorgio Piracci who just joined the Food Tech Congress in Warsaw! He passionately spoke about the opportunities of Regenerative Agriculture in producing healthy, nutritious food and provided valuable insights on how to successfully scale up regenerative agriculture projects from model farms to large landscapes. Giorgio also shared some key takeaways from the event: 1. AI and Technology: Giorgio highlighted how AI and advanced technology are set to completely reshape agriculture and food production. When combined with regenerative agriculture, these innovations will support and facilitate the reduction or total eradication of pesticides and unsustainable practices. 2. Biodiversity: He emphasized that biodiversity restoration, protection, and regeneration will become the new hot topic in sustainability. This focus is poised to be even more crucial than carbon farming in creating resilient ecosystems. 3. Ethics and People: Ethics and care for people will be the true change-makers. These values will distinguish genuine innovators from those making false claims, highlighting that companies are capable of reshaping the future. Thank you Giorgio, for representing our team and sharing these forward-thinking insights. Let's continue to support such innovative approaches in agriculture and sustainability! #RegenerativeAgriculture #Innovation #Biodiversity #EthicalFarming #PetersonProjectsAndSolutions https://lnkd.in/gthWn_29

The new episode is out! Biodiversity, agriculture, large-scale conservation and more about the work that we do in The Nature Conservancy

For 40 years, The Nature Conservancy has championed conservation across Latin America, working closely with communities to merge scientific and traditional knowledge for sustainable solutions. Our mission—protecting the lands and waters on which all life depends—is at the core of everything we do. Today, we’re evolving beyond traditional conservation methods. We understand that nature is intertwined with our lives and cannot simply be fenced off. By addressing human pressures and fostering sustainable development, we're finding innovative ways to protect our natural capital. A key part of this effort TNC's work in the Gran Chaco where, in a truly collective efforts involving all stakeholders, we are helping build a food system rooted in regenerative agriculture that benefits communities, economies, and the planet by collaborating with local farmers and ranchers, creating platforms for collective action, generating influence to minimize land use change and expanding land and water areas under protection. Tune in to hear Mauricio Nuñez Regueiro discuss how the Gran Chaco serves as an example of how large-scale food production can thrive alongside small farms while preserving biodiversity and supporting a local food economy that invests in nature-based solutions #Conservation #Sustainability #RegenerativeAgriculture #NatureBasedSolutions

This week's sessions on Food and Agriculture during the Climatebase Fellowship have been an absolute highlight for me! The insights shared were truly eye-opening, especially the staggering potential of regenerative agriculture in reducing emissions. Did you know that practices like agroforestry alone could sequester up to 9.28 gigatons of CO2-equivalent by 2050? That's massive! Through deep dives and industry panels, we explored transformative practices fto build resilience. From discussions on world hunger and sustainability led by Alexa White, Ph.D. (c) to innovative approaches in insect farming with Maria Alexandrova of Nasekomo, every session emphasised the urgency of building healthier and more sustainable food systems. A special shout out to Julia Akker who led the curriculum sessions, for providing invaluable knowledge and inspiring so many questions. It's clear that with agriculture responsible for approximately 26% of GHG emissions, there's no time to waste. Continue discussing and exploring alternative solutions to tackle this challenge head-on is a must. It’s so inspiring to be part of the Fellowship community and I can’t wait for next week’s sessions on Nature-based solutions.

👀 Take a peek at our new video, where our Project Coordinator Jarkko Niemi from the Natural Resources Institute Finland (Luke) / Luonnonvarakeskus (Luke) shares the most important information behind Digi4Live's mission. 🤩 It's the perfect opportunity to refresh our memory on Digi4Live's goals in numbers: ➡️ Innovative governance models reaching out to +1000 farmers and engaging 300 experts and stakeholders. ➡️ Deploying and exploiting environmental observation data, products, and "green" solutions to amplify the impact of the European Green Deal. ➡️ Creating 50+ data-driven and digital solutions. ➡️ Cultivating collaboration across the European livestock value chain.  ❓ Interested in more?

¿How to address the financial risk farm operations face when adopting regenerative practices? Join experts from The Nature Conservancy's Science & Agriculture Innovation teams and Growers Edge TODAY as they share findings from warranty pilot projects in Iowa and the Chesapeake Bay. Our goal was to test the warranty solution as a tool to reduce the risk for farm operations when adopting cover crops and nutrient management practices. Register to join on 21 October and/or to receive the post-event recording: http://bit.ly/3Y1zWYz We'll share our lessons learned (what worked? what didn't work?) and the assumptions we were testing going in to the pilots.

Meet Me at AGRITECHNICA ASIA: Focus on AgTech Innovations! AGRITECHNICA ASIA is the place to be for anyone interested in the latest AgTech innovations! 🌾 I'll be there exploring how controlled environment farming and sustainable practices can revolutionize our industry. If you're attending and want to chat about these exciting advancements, please ping me! Let’s collaborate to drive the future of agriculture. 💡🚜

Let's rethink the how, not the cow. This is why I think meat tax addresses the wrong problem. Denmark has introduced the world’s first carbon tax on animal agriculture, a policy that may not support a socially just and inclusive food system transition. In my World Economic Forum op-ed, I advocate for responsible policies that address the rising demand for animal protein during times of resource scarcity, while avoiding punishing farmers or consumers. It's vital to facilitate practices that require fewer and better-managed animals: we recommend promoting regenerative smallholder farming alongside new production systems such as cellular agriculture, precision fermentation, and algal production. I fear that Denmark's tax does not efficiently promote these goals. Learn more about my position in the full op-ed you can find via the link in the comments below.

Welcome, everyone! Today, we're diving into a fascinating and crucial topic in sustainable agriculture: cover cropping. Picture this: a lush, green field not just growing our food, but actively healing the soil, preventing erosion, and enhancing biodiversity. That's the power of cover crops. These plants are the unsung heroes of the farming world, working tirelessly between our main crops to keep our soil healthy and productive. But what exactly are cover crops, and why are they so vital? How can they transform our agricultural practices and contribute to a more sustainable future? Whether you're a seasoned farmer, an aspiring agripreneur, or simply curious about sustainable farming, this discussion will shed light on the numerous benefits and practical applications of cover cropping. So, let's dig in and explore how these humble plants are changing the game in agriculture!
