Pesticides are under pressure – from rising costs, regulations, and resistance. Now a long-trusted method is getting new attention: working with nature. A closer look at how it’s helping UK orchards during the @nffn.bsky.social Nature-Friendly Farming Week:

Agroecology and regenerative agriculture are essential to bringing back health and vitality to landscapes. It needs to be pursued *simultaneously* from 'the bottom' (local peer networks, best practices) AND 'the top' (regional transition support/funding, landscape scale coordination).

With current trends and policies, we'll transgress all planetary boundaries in 2050, except for ozone depletion. Targeted interventions — e.g., the Paris Agreement — can help, but not enough. More effective policy measures are needed to ensure we live well within the planetary boundaries.

@ecoresearchzoo3.bsky.social of the University of Wuerzburg has shown that #shrub fringes protect animal species and have a positive effect on #biodiversity. They say fringe management at landscape level is needed for optimal diversity. 🕷️🌱 ➡️ www.uni-wuerzburg.de/en/news-and-...

📢 Even though the EU says they care about equality, CAP rules do not work for women farmers & actually discriminate against them. Join our webinar on 28 May👇 www.agroecology-transect.net/events/gende... With discussion on 🌱Narratives on gender & equality 🪱Strategies for tackling the barriers

I will forever be haunted by this footage. Trawling has only been filmed underwater a few times in documentary history, and never with such clarity. What’s so heart-rending about these shots is watching how the animals don’t just get swept up — they swim for their lives. 🌎🦑🧪

Counting butterflies in two contrasting sites, 200m apart: arable vs grassland. Sounds unfair? The latter was arable too, just until recently. Being inside the rapeseed field is a strong experience: so many flowers, so few insects... Wanna join? We need many more sites! 15 min, 3 visits would do.

Earthworms are crucial to multiple soil functions, influencing litter decomposition & soil structure We monitor them across EU in Agroecology-TRANSECT 👇 www.agroecology-transect.net/innovation-h... ✅ We use mustard as an irritant solution to encourage earthworms to surface. Stay tuned for results!

Ever wondered why, if #organic & #agroecological farming are the answer, change isn’t happening faster? 2 studies attempt to find out: What outside factors are hindering change Where farmers' motivations lie Watch our recent webinar www.agroecology-transect.net/news/if-orga... With Visionary EU

Il pèse ses mots. Toujours. Son travail millimétré. Après le passionnant "Récidive. 1938" (PUF), le philosophe Michaël Foessel publie "Une étrange victoire" (Seuil). Pour lui, ça ne fait aucun doute : "Nous sommes entrés dans un processus de fascisation". www.politis.fr/articles/202...
