I'm working on an #agroforestry project at the moment, so any opportunity for a refresher and to address gaps in my knowledge welcome. Just signed up for this with @thesoilassociation.bsky.social www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/the-soil-a... #agroecology

Instructive journée aujourd'hui à Condat à l'invitation du Parc Naturel Régional des Volcans d'Auvergne qui révise sa charte à l'horizon 2043. ✅️ Nous avons pu échanger sur les premières conclusions du diagnostic du territoire et enrichir celui-ci. #Inventerdemain 🌋💧🐮🦋

And they help control insects that consume crops... #agroecology: #Wildflowers matter

🧑‍🌾 Farmers across Europe are proving we can farm without pesticides! 🌱 Read new stories from young farmers who've embraced agroecology to cut toxics out and build a healthier, fairer, nature-friendly future for farming. #PesticideActionWeek #ToxicFreePolitics friendsoftheearth.eu/news/good-fa...

🌱🌾"Agroecology is no longer just an option—it’s a necessity." It’s time to prioritize #FoodSystems that nourish people and the planet. Read more by Patrizia Fracassi (@fao.org) and @rbeznerkerr.bsky.social (@cornelluniversity.bsky.social) via @foodtank.bsky.social 👇 #Agroecology #ClimateAction

🌱 If you missed our recent webinar, you can watch it back here 👇 www.agroecology-transect.net/news/watch-w... New research on: 🌍 How farmers in France & Romania are building resilient systems in the face of #ClimateChange 🐄How diverse approaches can maintain production & boost ecosystem services

🤔The perennial question If organic & agroecological farming are the answer, why isn’t change happening faster? 2 studies attempt to find out: What outside factors are hindering change Where farmer's motivations lie Join us Wed 23 April, 10-11.30am CET soilassociation-org.zoom.us/meeting/regi...

Congrats to Cian Blaix for his new paper 👉 doi.org/10.1016/j.ag... ✅ Synergies between plant diversity & forage mineral quality occur in semi-natural #grasslands 🌸 Forage mineral #quality of extensive grasslands can match and even outperform that of more intensive permanent grasslands #openaccess

[1/3] Une enquête en Malaisie sur 167 touristes montre que la peur domine leur rapport à la nature. Cette crainte est liée aux dangers réels (prédateurs) et symboliques (croyances surnaturelles). La socialisation secondaire valorise le tourisme nature, mais sans effacer ces peurs. #geography

Today is Larissa Mysko PhD viva on the multiperformance of beef cattle farms More on synergies between economic, environmental & animal welfare indicators 👉 doi.org/10.1016/j.ag... ✅️ Combining practices that synchronize 🐂 nutritional requirements with grass growth is a multiperformance strategy

Understanding the needs of growers is key to success of #organic veg box supplier @carnaljubljana.bsky.social “Less stress for farmers leads to more joy for customers who always have a full & varied box” #InnovationHubs build resilience in food systems www.agroecology-transect.net/innovation-h...

A new #preprint #OpenScience by Ginane et al. @umrherbivores.bsky.social s.bsky.social @inrae-dpt-phase.bsky.social. Shade use, welfare and performance of ewes grazing in temperate silvopastures differing in tree density. Peer-reviewed and recommended by PCI Animal Science. doi.org/10.5281/zeno...

Crop farming is critical for food security and livelihoods in north-eastern Namibia, but many farmers face unreliable rainfall and degraded soils.

🦋 We're celebrating the work of just a few of the women key to the success our project this International Women's Day Step forward Maria van Boxtel, facilitator of our #InnovationHub in the Netherlands www.agroecology-transect.net/innovation-h... #IWD2025 #genderparity #agroecology

International Women's Day is about celebrating #genderparity, something we feel is well represented in our project 🥦Alexandra Waldmann leads our Slovenian #InnovationHub inspiring farmers & citizens to grow, eat & understand organic food www.agroecology-transect.net/innovation-h... #IWD2025

We can confidently celebrate International Women's Day with so many great women involved in our project Meet @elisaotra.bsky.social, researcher and activist for our Spanish #InnovationHub Inspira Territorio www.agroecology-transect.net/innovation-h... #IWD2025 #genderparity #agroecology

Qd on attaque l'OFB, ADEME, ANSES, instituts comme INRAE muré, le CNRS stigmatisé, qu'est ce que cela veut dire? Qd certains politiques par leur action/silence nourrissent/cautionnent ces attaques, quelle signification? Les petits renoncements sont le terreau de grande catastrophe pour toutes&tous

Fascinating new example of clever ancient Amazon #agroecology at @mongabay.bsky.social Casarabe culture represents a “Neolithic Revolution” in the Amazon, with an economy based on grain production that supported relatively large populations and complex social organization, with #agroforestry too:

⚠️ Si demain les terres ne sont plus fertiles, les cours d’eau pollués, les prairies impraticables : cela détruira l'outil de travail des agriculteurs. La simplification administrative ce n’est pas détricoter le droit de l’environnement, c’est plus d’humain derrière les guichets.

insupportable #écolobashing de ce véritable #nuisible à la Nature qu'est #laurentwauquiez @ofbiodiversite.bsky.social est le bouc émissaire facile d'un modèle agricole qui cherche à perdurer alors qu'il étouffe agriculteurs, campagnes, biodiversité, et mangeurs... #soutienOFB #soutienAgroecologie !

💪🏽 Agroecology as anti-fascism 🥬🍅🥔🥕 Your local farm as a site of resistance #ResistanceIsFertile landworkersalliance.org.uk/why-its-time...

Imaginer en 2025 une ministre qui s'oppose à inscrire dans la loi "lutte" contre le changement climatique (CC) car ce serait suicidaire pour l'agriculture qui ne contribuerait en rien au CC qui, ben voyons, serait une opportunité 🤯 Là j'avoue, j’étais pas prêt. Le climatoscepticisme2.0 me dégoûte! 😡

Au Sénat, toutes les mentions des objectifs de transition agroécologique et de lutte contre le changement climatique ont été supprimées du projet de Loi d'Orientation Agricole ("Loi d'orientation pour la souveraineté alimentaire et le renouvellement des générations en agriculture").
