💭As World Farmers' Organisation notes through their #WFO Policy on Innovation, innovation is key to creating sustainable food systems. Regenerative food systems have the potential to become a powerful driver of climate change mitigation and resilience, biodiversity recovery, and ecosystem restoration. 💚 Within our joint Landscape Discussion Brief with 1000 Landscapes For 1 Billion People, we highlight how transformative landscape action requires collaboration and innovation that is inclusive – supporting, empowering, and centring the knowledge of farmers, women, youth, and indigenous peoples.

In a recent publication by Nature-based Insights and WWF the authors Dr Cécile Girardin Jill MacKeith, Dr Alexander Fordyce, Sophie Van Eetvelt, Claire Cockett, William Baldwin-Cantello bring to the fore, looking beyond #carbon, to support #SupplyChain resilience, mitigate impacts, and ensure benefit for nature and people #PlanetaryHealth. This is delivered in their briefing paper where delivering more by #Insetting through #NatureBasedSolutions could not have been better described. I’m currently cutting my teeth in this space and as a Nigerian epidemiologist who have experienced epidemics and pandemics from a populace and frontline responders perspective. This move is a no-brainer. Jusxtapose inequity faced across most if not all human security dimensions in Countries categorized as Low-Middle-Income amidst their wealth in nature capital. You may already be familiar with offsetting- carbon or biodiversity offset. This is where the thinking of “inset” comes from to address gaps of risks and uncertainties of offset which compensates for footprints outside of the direct supply chain impacts for an enterprise sourcing landscapes. I have to mention Apple here who has done some sort of supply chain mapping and demanding less footprints through its supply chain. I’m still reading let me get back to it… Definitions Nature-based solutions are defined by the UN Environment Programme Assembly as “Actions to protect, conserve, restore, sustainably use and manage natural or modified terrestial, freshwater, coastal and marine ecosystems, which address social, economic and environmental challenges effectively and adaptively, while simultaneously providing human well-being, ecosystem services and resilience and biodiversity benefits. Insetting, though not formally defined, initially focused on carbon, with existing approaches that emphasise land-based carbon reductions and removals. Is now moving beyond a carbon focus to be broader and more holistic to nature and social impacts rather than co-benefits more like central components of an intervention.

Celebrating Earth Day: A Global Call to Action The Earth Day, observed annually on April 22nd, serves as a poignant reminder of the crucial importance of environmental awareness and concerted action. Since its inception in 1970, Earth Day has burgeoned into a global movement, uniting individuals worldwide in a collective endeavor to safeguard and conserve our planet. This occasion prompts reflection on the pressing need to address environmental challenges such as climate change, pollution, deforestation, and biodiversity loss. Through educational initiatives and tangible actions, Earth Day fosters greater awareness of the significance of adopting sustainable practices in our daily lives. In particular, it is imperative to contemplate the role of sustainable agriculture and resource conservation. Embracing practices such as precision farming and judicious use of water and soil resources is paramount to safeguarding the environment and ensuring food security for future generations. As a global community, we must commit to promoting sustainable agriculture that nurtures biodiversity, reduces the use of harmful chemicals, and conserves natural resources. This concerted effort will not only help protect the environment but also enhance the quality of food production and the health of individuals. Therefore, as we commemorate Earth Day this year and in the years to come, let us reaffirm our dedication to embracing sustainable agricultural practices and preserving natural resources for future generations. Only through collective action can we forge a more sustainable and equitable world for all.

Klim x Raus Did you know that a quarter of all global greenhouse gas emissions stems from agriculture – more than from air travel, car traffic, and building use combined? This is only one of many facts we learned from our friends at Klim, and we’re more than excited to join them in their mission to advance the regenerative transformation! 🤝 Through this partnership, we’re empowering farmers to adopt practices that foster healthy, living soils capable of storing CO2. Simultaneously, these efforts boost biodiversity, enhance climate resilience, and improve the nutrient storage capacity of the soil. At Raus, this issue holds deep significance for us. We work hand in hand with farmers – not only to discover beautiful spots in nature, but also to help them promote their regional products and services through our platform. We are dedicated to boost local value and spread environmental education: With the help of our local partners we offer farm visits, herbal walks, and forest bathing experiences. 🌳 However, we never wanted our commitment to conclude here. There’s so much more to be done! We are pleased to be allied with a partner like Klim, who tracks our impact. And we know that we cannot achieve a transformation if we don't try to get even more people excited about it. This is why we seek to inspire our guests to make their contributions as well – with an effortless click when booking downtime in nature. Here's to holistic growth, being aware of the duties we have as a society, not only protecting our planet but celebrating everyone and everything that aspires to drive change. 🌱🌍 #timewellspent #regenerativeagriculture #sustainabletravel #rauslife

Natural Capital is the coming market disruption you haven't heard of, but trust us, you will. 🌿 Think of it as Earth's hidden asset class: our forests, oceans, clean air, and healthy ecosystems. They provide trillions of dollars in benefits like food security, water purification, and climate regulation 🌍 - for FREE! However, the rate at which we are overdrawing this account is concerning. Pollution 🏭, deforestation 🌲, and unsustainable practices 🚫 are destroying our natural capital and jeopardizing our ability to succeed in the future. The good news? The next big thing is to invest in nature. From regenerative agriculture to carbon offsets, innovative solutions are emerging to protect and restore our natural wealth. ♻️ This isn't just about saving the planet 🌎 (although that's pretty important too!) - it's about opening a new era of sustainable growth.
