#WeekendRead: Monocrop agriculture threatens nutritional security for nearly 3 billion people in India and Africa. A new paper from Solidaridad Asia makes the case for greater #biodiversity in farming systems. 🌿 🥗 The policy paper "Agrobiodiversity as an Approach towards Food & Nutrition Security for Rural Communities in Africa & India" calls on G20 countries to invest in agroecological farming methods with farmers as key stakeholders, and foster collaboration between states, NGOs & communities to integrate them into existing schemes.

The lack of agricultural biodiversity in farming systems threatens nutritional security for nearly 3 billion people in India and Africa, and has resulted in the undernourishment of 224.3 million and 278 million people, respectively, in the two regions. 🌿 🥗 ✍ In its policy paper "Agrobiodiversity as an Approach towards Food and Nutrition Security for Rural Communities in Africa and India", Solidaridad Network and the Observer Research Foundation call upon G20 countries to invest in agroecological farming methods with farmers as key stakeholders, foster collaboration between states, NGOs, and local communities to implement such initiatives and integrate them into existing schemes. Agroecology is one of the key principles behind the implementation of regenerative agriculture that ensures food security, conserves soil biodiversity, and supports sustainable livelihoods for thousands of small-scale farmers around the world. 👩🌾 👨🌾 👉 Read more about the brief and its recommendations: https://lnkd.in/gQ_8NtYH G20 Brasil 2024 | Solidaridad Asia | Solidaridad East and Central Africa | Andre de Freitas | Shatadru Chattopadhayay | Rachel Wanyoike | Kritika Banerjee | Shoba Suri | Dr.Suresh Motwani | Prashant Pastore | John Godlove Nderingo #G20 #NutritionSecurity #FoodSecurity #Agroecology #RegenerativeAgriculture

#FridayPhoto: Sometimes the end of the week can feel like this. Collaboration can be overwhelming, especially across borders, around the world. Some team members are in the field, others at their desks, all working toward a similar goal. In our case, it's working alongside farmers and other partners to create more fair & sustainable supply chains. The hours can be long, but working in teams and finding solutions together is the reward. This #FridayPhoto comes from a pause-and-reflect session where we gathered with our partners in the #AmazoniaConnect initiative, a 5-year partnership to scale the adoption of low-emission commodity production, and improve biodiversity conservation and climate resilience in Brazil, Colombia, and Peru. Enjoy the coming weekend and keep working for #ChangeThatMatters!

🇮🇳 Join us on a visit with tea grower Tapan Mandal in India as he shows us his farm and tells his story! We’ll also meet Bangshidhar Roy and Bijoy Gopal Chakraborty to see how collective organizing is changing prospects for tea growers. In India, many small-scale tea growers sell their harvest individually through supply chain brokers, which often results in a low price. With support from Solidaridad under the RECLAIM Sustainability! programme, tea growers are uniting into collectives and building their abilities to improve their position in the value chain and negotiate for better prices and terms. Some of the strengthened collectives are now directly supplying their tea leaves to the factories. And these collectives, in turn, can join larger associations that support and amplify their impact as tea growers. This project is implemented in collaboration with the Indian Tea Association (ITA) and the Confederation of Indian Small Tea Growers Associations (CISTA). Seven associations, including 2 women’s collectives, that currently represent 110,000 tea growers, continue to expand across India.

🇵🇪 🤝 Meet Sonia Peña, a beacon of hope & change for smallholder oil palm farmers in Ucayali, Peru. This determined and passionate farmer is also notable as the first smallholder in Peru to be audited for the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) certification. This puts her at the forefront of sustainable agriculture, a careful steward of the environment, and an influential local leader. "The certification is not just an achievement for me, but for our entire community. We want to show that it is possible to produce sustainably and care for our land for future generations,” Sonia says. Sonia and over 100 other oil palm farmers in Ucayali have embarked on the journey towards sustainable production thanks to #AmazoniaConnect, a 5-year partnership between USAID, Solidaridad Network, Earth Innovation Institute, the National Wildlife Federation, and the University of Wisconsin-Madison that aims to promote low-emission commodity production and biodiversity conservation in the Amazon. Initiatives like Amazonia Connect are crucial in balancing production and conservation efforts by creating an enabling environment where farmers can adopt low-carbon practices, and contribute to more sustainable supply chains.

🇲🇽 For years, Gumercindo had seen his sugarcane productivity decline as the rains became more unpredictable due to #ClimateChange. Though he had grown up in and around his family's sugarcane fields, the old ways of working weren't effective anymore. Then Gumercindo was introduced to the MAS-CAÑA program implemented by Solidaridad Latinoamérica. He learned innovative techniques, like double furrow planting and more effective fertilizer application through irrigation. These changes have not only boosted his production, but also reduced his environmental impact. His success has inspired other smallholders to adopt similar practices. With the support of Solidaridad, he has transformed his farming practices. Now he grows sugarcane with a focus on sustainability and is seeing increased yields. Join Gumercindo's journey, read more here https://lnkd.in/g3Fcu3xV
