i wonder... webinar RELATING TO BIODIVERSITY THROUGH FOOD 9th October 2024 ; 4:30–5:30 pm Link to join https://lnkd.in/gUQvfmn2 Can exploring local food systems with their families and communities help children connect 'Diversity in the Living World' (Grade VI), 'Crop production and management' (Grade VIII) with 'Mindful Eating' (Grade VI)? Does the diversity of food on their plates open students to their own role in shaping local biodiversity? What knowledge and skills do students learn from such intergenerational collaborations? How can teachers facilitate such experiences? To explore these questions, join the live conversation between Radha Gopalan (author and Consultant Editor of i wonder…) and Vinay Suram (Resource person from the Azim Premji Foundation and editorial committee member of i wonder…) in this webinar. The discussion will be based on the article “Relating to Biodiversity through Food” from the June 2022 issue of i wonder…. The discussion will be in English.

WAT? 2024: Workshop for Advanced Training Exploring the links between Circular Economy and Biodiversity 🌍 🍃 On the 25th of September the second edition of WAT? - Workshop for Advanced Training at CENSE took place at Faculdade de Ciências e Tecnologia da Universidade NOVA de Lisboa. WAT? is an advanced training initiative particularly targeting CENSE PhD students and researchers. CENSE WAT ? 2024 focused on “Circular Economy and Biodiversity” and its relevance for environmental and sustainability research. Prof. Maria Rosa Paiva welcomed participants and the two keynote speakers for this edition, introducing workshop objectives. Barbara Pia Oberč addressed the workshop topic with the presentation “A policy framework for a circular economy with biodiversity at its core”, while Patricia Rodriguéz González instituto de agronomia presented “Ecological Restoration in Portugal: challenges and opportunities for supporting biodiversity sustainability”. 🌿 Following the keynote lectures, participants worked in small groups, moderated by Prof. Rita Lopes. Through structured exercises, participants were guided by a set of questions to support a reflection on the topic “circular economy and biodiversity” and their own research topics.

💡 What do we want to achieve in the Smart Skills project? 🌿 Our main goal is to introduce the topic of sustainable agriculture in #VETeducation and to raise awareness on the newest #AgroTech innovations 🚜 ✨ We want you to be inspired by examples of good practices of #innovative solutions in #sustainableagriculture! ✨ We want you to be conscious about the #environment and the dangers of #climatechange! ✨ We want you to take action and contribute to environmentally friendly practices! ✨ We want to provide #VET teachers and students with a high quality #trainingcourse! #smartsustainableagriculture #smartagriculture #SmartSkills #InnovativeAgriculture Stowarzyszenie ARID Instytut Hodowli i Aklimatyzacji Roślin - Państwowy Instytut Badawczy Momentum Educate + Innovate European E-Learning Institute Czech University of Life Sciences Prague Angela Maria Loporchio Zuzana Palkova Martyna Kurek Agnieszka Rachwalska Alessandro d'Alsazia Canice Hamill Catherine Neill Paula Whyte Orla Casey

Take part in our short 15-minute online study here, via a laptop or tablet by using Chrome or Firefox: 𝘄𝘄𝘄.𝗲𝗱𝘂.𝗻𝗹/𝘂𝗳𝗷𝗽𝗺 𝘉𝘢𝘤𝘬𝘨𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘥: Since 1970, species populations have declined by an average of 69%. As this trend continues to accelerate, one million of the world’s estimated 8 million species of plants and animals are threatened with extinction, unless action is taken to reduce the intensity of drivers of biodiversity loss (IPBES, 2019). Sadly, the Netherlands is one of the global leaders of biodiversity loss. That is why Utrecht University has committed to becoming a green campus by 2035 to restore the local biodiversity. For instance, Utrecht University aims to enhance ecological design and maintenance on campus, protect species, and provide education on and research into biodiversity. The research contributes to this objective. It will show how the Utrecht University community views biodiversity, and how these perceptions can be leveraged to take actions to halt and reverse the biodiversity crisis.

🌱 Exciting times in my Grade 11 STEM classroom! We’re exploring the delicate dance between agriculture and biodiversity. Can we create a sustainable, food-secure environment while protecting PNG’s rich biodiversity? Let’s discuss! I hope to discuss some of your thoughts and also share with you my student's work in the coming days. #SustainableFarming #Biodiversity

💻 Soon it will be available the e-Learning toolkit platform of the project ‘Raising YOUth awareness of BIO-diversity conservation via webTOON' [BIOYOUTOON] – a KA2 Cooperation Partnership in Youth project funded by the Erasmus Plus Programme. 🌎 The e-Learning Platform will be used by young educators to deepen their knowledge about biodiversity conservation. The interactive toolkit will contain a set of guidelines on Non-Formal Education activities and how to implement them in the biodiversity conservation field, a list of workshops related to biodiversity conservation and video tutorials of the workshops implemented during the Local Activities. 💭 In another section of the platform there will be a discussion and educational hub, with a blog and chatrooms, where users of the platform can upload their own activities and digital comics about biodiversity, discuss the ones already present and cooperate to develop new activities, workshops or events. 🍀 BioYouToon aims to educate youth about biodiversity and foster collaboration between youth NGOs and young researchers to engage in conservation actions. 🌸 BioYouToon objectives are: Build youth and NGO skills in biodiversity. Train educators on sustainability. Enhance young researchers' science communication. Foster youth NGO-researcher collaboration for biodiversity. 🔜 We look forward to seeing many of you join the community of learners for the growth of skills and for a more sustainable society! Soon there will be sessions at local level, so if you like BIODIVERSITY and COMICS, we are waiting for you! 📎 To be informed on next project’s developments, stay update by visiting the MVI website, following this link: https://lnkd.in/dTmB-Q_4 Stay updated on future activities by following the official Facebook page and the project website, at the following links: Facebook: https://lnkd.in/d7si-2hn Web site: https://lnkd.in/dwfR_Sih 👂 Stay tuned for new updates! #MVInternational #MVI #TheNetworkOfMineVagantiNGO #HardWorkPaysOff #FollowUs #StayTuned #DoingSomethingMeaningful #BioYouToon #Biodiversity #Sustainability #Science

🌎 #EarthDay was established out of a growing concern about environmental issues such as air and water pollution and their impact on the #planet, human health and species extinction. It was first launched on April 22, 1970 and has been celebrated on the same day every year since then to draw attention to environmental protection and promote awareness of sustainability. 🔎 At Tentamus, we are convinced that #sustainability and quality assurance can only lead society towards a greener future if they are combined. We have a dedicated team of data scientists, artificial intelligence experts, chemists, chemical engineers and project managers that develop concepts to promote the sustainability of your company with regard to ecological and social criteria. In the area of smart farming, for example, we help farms to reduce or recycle waste, manage fields and soils more efficiently and preserve biodiversity. 🪵 In any case, we focus on: - conservation of natural resources - sustainable raw materials - environmentally friendly packaging - transparent supply chains - fair production through compliance with human rights and environmental protection 🌱 The current topics we are addressing include: - Reducing our carbon footprint - Zero food waste - Due diligence in the supply chain - Counteracting the loss of biodiversity 🌾 We work in the following industries: - Food and animal feed - Cosmetics and care products - Pharmaceuticals - Agriculture and soil 📧 Contact us for more information: info.tih@tentamus.com
