💡 True Solutions to the  #globalfoodcrisis  🔴 @FIANHonduras: The Association of Ecological Committees of Southern Honduras (ACESH), in communities of Concepción de María, Choluteca, guarantee their #FoodSecurity through #agroecology. ➡️ The El Nance community has a system of #agroforestry crops for soil restoration and conservation and also produces natural fertilizers and pesticides and works with beekeeping. They have succeeded in getting  a municipal declaration naming the creole seed  a patrimony of the people. ✨ These practices foster solidarity, responsibility and empathy through seed exchange among community members. This consolidates collective identity and increases group resilience.

🚨 Deforestation, mining, and agriculture are threatening Indigenous communities and the ecosystems in Brazil’s Amazon rainforest. Exploitative policies and international corporations are leading to severe environmental impacts and the violation of Indigenous Peoples' rights, including forced displacement, violence, and disregard for free, prior, and informed consent (FPIC). 📢 👉 Learn more here and how the Society for Threatened Peoples is helping Indigenous communities protect their territories. #JustTransition #IndigenousRights #IndigenousPeoples #Environment #HumanRights #EnvironmentalJustice

To identify financial instruments that can improve agricultural productivity and are ecologically-friendly, IFPRI and the Universidad de los Andes, Bogotá, are carrying out an evidence synthesis within the framework of the Avanzar2030 program. The aim is to generate guidelines for the Colombian government to design conditional agricultural credit programs that promote sustainable practices and reduce negative impacts on the environment. Avanzar2030, led by IFPRI, the Inter-American Institute for Cooperation on Agriculture (IICA) and the University of Notre Dame, and financed by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), works with over 20 organizations from across Latin America to generate evidence of policy and institutional innovations in agrifood systems that support climate change adaptation, improve living conditions and diets, and protect food security. The initiative develops syntheses to identify interventions needed to transform the region’s food system, tailored to the context of each country.

The UNEP-convened World Water Quality Alliance (WWQA), Biodiversity and Biological Monitoring and Assessment workstream (BBMA) invites you to participate in a Global Survey of Bioassessment in Practice. This survey aims to provide insight into how bioassessment is used to inform decision-making and deliver policy objectives worldwide.   This survey is important for the improvement of the SDG indicator 6.3.2 Level 2 methodology, which includes biological approaches for water quality monitoring and assessment. The survey findings will help guide the future development of this indicator. In addition, the results will be used to draft a White Paper aiming to build capacity and promote best practices in the use of bioassessment.   To ensure that in-depth information is gathered through this survey, the design is quite detailed and will take approximately 15 minutes to complete. We appreciate that this is a significant request, but if you have the capacity to complete the survey, your efforts will be very much appreciated and your name will be included in the list of contributors to the White Paper, and you will be invited to webinars to provide feedback on the survey results.   You are welcome to share this survey with other experts:   English: https: https://bit.ly/3URRk1n   French: https: https://bit.ly/4bwWVQ5   Spanish: https: https://bit.ly/4bvXARR   Portuguese: https: https://bit.ly/4bxIHOU WWQA World Water Quality AllianceUnited Nations Environment Programme Finance Initiative (UNEP FI)Nina RaasakkaAnham SalyaniDr. Richard MunangRichard ElelmanKilian Christ, PhDMelchior Z.

📢 NEW Publication Alert! "Pastoralism in the High Tropical Andes: A Review of the Effect of Grazing Intensity on Plant Diversity and Ecosystem Services." 🌿 Pastoralism, a land-use system involving the care and use of grazing livestock, is common in areas with low resource availability. To promote conservation, sustainable management, and design appropriate adaptation strategies in this naturally and culturally diverse region, it is essential to understand the role pastoralism has played and its impacts on these socio-ecological systems. 🔍 Explore the new article analyzing the impact of different types of grazing (in terms of animal types, grazing intensity, and management strategies) on biodiversity and ecosystem services in the main pastoral systems studied in the tropical Andes. 📄 Link: https://lnkd.in/eVJ5wXFx #MountainsMatter #OurChangingMountains CONDESAN, Universidad de los Andes (VE), ICAE, Universidad de Las Américas (EC), University of California, Riverside, Regional Initiative for Hydrological Monitoring of Andean Ecosystems (iMHEA).

🌍 The Nivaĉle municipality of Ajoicucat – Mistolar, in #Paraguay, confronts a myriad of challenges that undermine the communities’ access to clean drinking water: 🌳 #Deforestation and fragmentation of the dry forests, leading to a reduction in the water level of the Pilcomayo River; ☀ Recurrent periods of #drought, and 💧 Loss of sections of indigenous #territories with access to the Pilcomayo River. Women, who traditionally bear the responsibility of water provision for their families, are disproportionately affected, often having to transport drinking water over long distances from communal cisterns to their homes several times a day. In response, BluoVerda Deutschland e.V. and #TierraLibre take proactive measures to enhance water availability in the most vulnerable areas of the community. You can read more about the project on our website  https://lnkd.in/e5addMGN This project is funded by the Stiftung Nord-Süd-Brücken with financial support from the BMZ #WaterScarcity #IndigenousCommunities #ClimateChange #SocialImpact #EnvironmentalSustainability

Ensuring soil health is a principle of agroecology, but who'd have thought that practices aimed at soil, can also impact the other 12 agroecological principles? https://lnkd.in/dKJFX4qw Check out this useful new Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH publication highlighting 13 #SLM practices in seven countries, each relevant to a different agroecological principle. The practices are drawn from a much larger WOCAT - World Overview of Conservation Approaches and Technologies collection.

Peruvian politics play a major role in Amazon deforestation. Informal practices, state capture, and collusion mean intensive agriculture and relaxed mining and forestry reforms. To address these challenges, #Peru needs increased transparency and accountability from its officials, along with stronger environmental regulations.   U4 Brief – by Camila Gianella 👇 https://lnkd.in/gkwitaGa   #deforestation, #forestconservation #illegallogging, #naturalresourcemanagement, #renewableresources #Peru #corruption #anticorruption
