How to stop desertification, plant more water! Regenerative agriculture not only helps build soil biology and biodiversity, it is carbon farming, giving land the ability to soak up water like a sponge. Creating sustainable agriculture, resilience to drought and microclimates. The Netherlands government has just announced funding for regenerative agriculture, and every country on the planet would be wise to do so to secure food and agriculture supplies, to utilise our greatest single resource in drawing down carbon to sustainable levels in our soil!

💡Water can be planted. This is one of the most beautiful insights I learned from Ernst Götsch, the father of syntropic agriculture, and a key reason why desertification can be reversed, even in regions like my new home in the Iberian peninsula that are particularly exposed to the effects of global warming. How can water be planted? In farms, water is not just something that rains from clouds, or that flows below the ground. You plant water by farming in ways that improve soil health and therefore increase the capacity of the farm to store water not just from rainfall or aquifers, but also from water vapor in the atmosphere, and then feed that water back to plants through the fungal networks in their roots. This is the reason why regenerative farmers can increase water stocks even in water-scarce regions where there is little rainfall, degraded aquifers or long dry seasons. They can plant water. And you can too. If you are curious to learn more, the video below from Ernst Götsch might spark your neural network :)

"Recent research suggests that a mechanical table olive harvester combining trunk and canopy shaking is more efficient than either method alone." - from Olive Oil Times With ever-evolving challenges such as climate change and resource scarcity, adopting varied agricultural approaches becomes crucial for resilience and sustainability. By embracing a range of methods—from traditional practices to innovative techniques—table olive harvesters can adapt to changing conditions, mitigate risks, and ensure the continued productivity of their land. In this dynamic environment, flexibility and openness to new ideas empower farmers to navigate challenges and thrive in the face of adversity. 🌱🚜🫒 #olivetree #olvieoil #extravirginoliveoil #modernfarming https://lnkd.in/gzFxzMxG

#foodsecurity is a critical matter in the context of #climatechangeadaptation. That's why the work of International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD), FAO and World Food Programme is so important at this time.

Pest control has always been a consideration for growers, but climate change has made it an even more prominent issue. MGK is leading the way in the production of a special insecticide active ingredient, made from the pyrethrum daisy. They’re building climate resilience right into pyrethrum’s production, and in partnership with ClimateAi, are using climate intelligence to improve their sustainable growing systems and maximize plant yields. Find out how on October 18th at our webinar, “Harnessing Climate Intelligence for Natural Pest Management with MGK,” at 12:30 p.m. EST.

Hau Meni & Associates Principal Consultant Dr Ingvar Anda was in Dili last week presenting the findings and adaptation recommendations of an assessment of the impacts of climate change on the Timor-Leste coffee sector. The study was carried out through the Australia Pacific Climate Partnership on behalf of the Market Development Facility #MDF. Key finding is that by 2050 there will be an approximately 50% reduction in area suitable for growing arabica coffee. Existing strategies for building the resilience of coffee plantations will need to be scaled up and coffee plantations in lower elevations (below 1200m asl) will need to transition to other, more suitable cash crops.

"[...] 9 crops account for 66 per cent of cultivated land. 4 companies account for 67 percent of global seeds. Seed sovereignty movements, [...] are responding by trying to develop seeds that put power back in the hands of growers" Our BC Seed Security Program Manager, David Catzel, was interviewed for this article on seed sovereignty work in BC and the importance of seeds for food system resilience and climate adaptation. Give it a read:
Food security starts with seeds

Let's take action today!!! The global food system faces challenges from climate change, population growth, and resource depletion. By promoting sustainable farming methods, we can build resilience and ensure food security for future generations. If not now, when?
