Agricultural biodiversity insures against uncertain futures
fao.org/plant-treaty/t…#ITPGRFAFA i#megadiversese Peru must also ensure digital biopiracy does not erode Farmers’ Rights and sovereignty

In the Andean highlands, farming communities continue to cultivate seeds and tubers stewarded by their ancestors over centuries—genetic resources that are rightfully theirs. Yet the growing risk of digital biopiracy threatens to erode their Farmers’ Rights and the sovereignty embedded in these living legacies.

Mark #WorldFoodDay and celebrate the majority world's food providers who, while respecting #PachaMama and #Nyeleni, cooperate to provide 80% of world's peoples with food through #biodiverse #agroecological systems and #FoodSovereignty

NB
" #foodsovereignty is the right of peoples to healthy, culturally appropriate food, produced sustainably [with] six key pillars: Food for People, Valuing Food Providers, Localising Food Systems, Placing Control Locally, Building Knowledge and Skills, and Working with Nature."

People working in food systems - those in fields, in factories and in hospitality need to have their labour fairly compensated.

That's the key to transforming food systems for the better says @deewoods.bsky.social ‪from @landworkersuk.bsky.social ‪ and @grancomkitchen.bsky.social

Today's #BiodiversityDay, a time to celebrate flowers blooming, birds singing, bees buzzing 🐝🐦🌼

But here’s the buzzkill: toxic pesticides are wiping out pollinators and destroying nature.

The good news? We can still phase them out. More in our factsheet 👉

On #BiodiversityDay we celebrate the 270 species of bees in the UK, including this #Bumblebee feeding on Russian Comfrey in our plot, and ensure that both these and honeybees can coexist on our #allotment site by growing a wide range of pollinating plants.

Discover the versatile Jerusalem artichoke (Helianthus tuberosus), a North American native cultivated by Indigenous peoples. For cultivation, plant tubers in a sunny location during spring. These nutty tubers can be roasted, used in soups, or eaten raw. #JerusalemArtichoke #SustainableGardening
