SIANI seconds the concerns regarding strategies which call for marginal changes at a time where transformative change is needed. Failing to harness the potential of smallholder #farmers to lead this transition is a major pitfall of the FAO roadmap: Livestock intensification & modern bioenergy pathway.

According to a study, substituting 11-16% of energy-intensive crops currently used as animal feed with agricultural by-products would save approximately between 15.4 and 27.8 million hectares of soil, between 3 and 19.6 km3 and between 74.2 and 137.8 km3 of irrigation and rainwater.

A research team from the Department of Earth and Space Sciences at the University of Washington found that regenerative farming produces more nutrient-dense vegetables and crops that contain fewer harmful chemicals. The paper also discusses the positive relationship between nutrient density and regenerative animal husbandry, citing human and animal health benefits. #soilhealth #nutrition #health #publichealth #climatechange #climate #farming #agriculture
