Agriculture is responsible for many of the emissions that are heating up the earth today. However, we still need to feed a growing population, presenting us with a very difficult challenge. But with challenges come opportunities. Regenerative agriculture offers a solution by using soils as carbon sinks. This not only helps mitigate climate change but also enhances soil fertility and productivity, ensuring sustainable food production for future generations. Tune in for our webinar together with Klim to learn more. #carbonremoval #climatechange #agriculture

🚨 Webinar 3 is Now Live! 🚨 " By nurturing our animals, we can nurture ourselves and by healing them, we can heal ourselves.” – Prof. Pablo Gregorini, a global leader in regenerative farming. In this insightful session, Professor Gregorini from Lincoln University joined us in our final EOV winter webinar series where he dives deep into how we manage our productive animals, how the nutritional health of the produce from that land influences it, and the role this produce can play in our future health. Don’t miss one of the most important conversations of the year! 🎥 👉 Watch now: https://lnkd.in/gw4GA8Wq #RegenerativeAgriculture #FarmingForTheFuture #SustainableFarming #Webinar

What does cropland expansion mean for our planet? How can we feed a growing population without expanding croplands into valuable natural ecosystems?     Register for our webinar to hear from crop monitoring experts from the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI), the Bezos Earth Fund and Land & Carbon Lab, and find out how the latest advancements in geospatial monitoring of the world’s crops can help create more sustainable food systems: https://bit.ly/3WbW9Uh CGIAR

The ideal solution to the problem is to get the policies implemented globally to restore organic matter in the soil and these regional based policies can easily be done if we all ask our leaders to take it up as a priority. We can write to our leaders using a simple template here: savesoil.org/write To find regional policies documents and learn more about your region, please follow the below link https://lnkd.in/d6S3Tkmi We must act now to #SaveSoil Visit consciousplanet.org or savesoil.org for more info.

The theme of this year's World Forests Day is #Innovation. Innovation can help us restore, protect, manage and use our forests sustainably. Check out this video from the Food & Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) to learn more. https://lnkd.in/gkGy5d3T

An insightful discussion where our CEO Luca Bonini and Roger Tripathi CEO of Global BioAg Linkages share some thoughts about actual biosolutions market and some sneak peeks about incoming Global Bio Ag World Congress: watch it now!

Excited for our upcoming free virtual screening of “Common Ground.” You are invited! Ever wondered how agriculture impacts your health or the health of our planet? The eagerly awaited sequel to "Kiss the Ground," the film showcases a striking contrast between our broken food system and the inspiring movement of farmers adopting "regenerative" agricultural models inspired by indigenous practices. According to a study conducted by the Kiss the Ground organization, only 4% of US adults are aware of the significance of regenerative agriculture. This film is poised to raise awareness of this critical topic. Alternative, “regenerative” models of agriculture can enhance soil health, biodiversity, and reduce carbon emissions, paving the way for an economically viable agricultural system for farmers and a stable economy. What’s exciting to me, is the shift in consciousness and consumer awareness. Could this growing movement represent a shift in our relationship to nature - our inherent connection to and responsibility for the Earth?  Perhaps being aware that human health and well-being are deeply rooted to the health of our soil and our planet is a great place to start.  

🌿 Webinar alert! Transforming land use: Alternative proteins for U.S. climate and biodiversity success 🌿 People often vastly underestimate the volume of crops used to make animal feed instead of directly for food. The reality is that, in the contiguous U.S., 78 percent of cropland primarily supports animal production. And, in total, over 50 percent of all land in the U.S. is used to support animal agriculture. To create a sustainable agricultural system that aligns with biodiversity and climate goals, we must optimize land use and restoration. Join The Good Food Institute and Highland Economics for a webinar presenting the findings from a recent analysis exploring the U.S. land use opportunities of #alternativeproteins. Discover how incorporating alternative proteins into the American food supply significantly reduces U.S. land requirements for food production and would enable large-scale restoration of U.S. habitats with significant climate and biodiversity opportunities.
