Did you know that a single tree could help combat malnutrition, purify water, and restore degraded land? Moringa, often called the miracle tree,  holds immense promise for addressing nutritional, medicinal, and economic challenges. Native to India and sub-Saharan Africa, it thrives in dry conditions, is packed with essential nutrients, and...

The Solomon Islands are made up of about 1,000 islands spread over a vast expanse of the western Pacific Ocean. Like other Small Island Developing States (SIDS), the country is particularly vulnerable to external shocks and environmental crises due to its small size, remote location and limited resources. This became especially apparent during the...

Climate change alters the climatic suitability of croplands, likely shifting the spatial distribution and diversity of global food crop production. Analyses of future potential food crop diversity have been limited to a small number of crops. Here we project geographical shifts in the climatic niches of 30 major food crops...

In this video you will learn how to make a kiln for producing biochar and wood vinegar. Wood vinegar is packed with beneficial ingredients due to the slow but intense heating process. It has insecticidal, bactericidal and many other benefits, making it the liquid gold of agriculture.

Desde su llegada a Argentina hace 30 años, el cubano Víctor Pileta impulsa, a través de su proyecto La Dignidad Rural, un modelo productivo alternativo basado en la agroecología, el control biológico y el bienestar animal.

This course introduces how agroecological elements, principles and practices can contribute to the social, economic and ecological transformation of agrifood systems. It also explores ways that governments, civil society and the private sector can support the scale-up and scale-out of agroecology. The course illustrates the uptake and spread of agroecology...

Formed in 2007, Food Plant Solutions Rotary Action Group (FPS) creates science-based educational materials, which: identify highly nutritious local food plants, explain how to grow them in a sustainable, agroecological way, detail the nutritional value of the plants and describe why human bodies require those nutrients. The resources created by FPS allows people to better...

This e-Learning Series is part of the GEF global coordination project for the Sustainable Forest Management Impact Program on Dryland Sustainable Landscapes (DSL-IP) and is part of the DSL-IP Community of Practice 2 on Good SLM Practices. It offers a space for DSL-IP countries and other stakeholders to: share existing and acquire new knowledge...

La inteligencia artificial (IA) está emergiendo como un pilar fundamental en la modernización del sector agropecuario, proporcionando soluciones innovadoras para enfrentar los desafíos asociados a la producción agrícola y pecuaria. A través de herramientas como el aprendizaje automático, el procesamiento de imágenes satelitales y los sistemas expertos, la IA permite...

How can farmers in resource-limited areas access vital knowledge on sustainable agriculture? A project study in Mali reveals that interactive voice recordings (IVR) on basic mobile phones can drive agroecological intensification. By sharing simple yet impactful practices like crop rotation, mulching, and pest management, this digital innovation significantly boosts adoption...

Farming activities contribute to soil antibiotic pollution, posing health risks for rural farm workers, especially on small farms in impoverished regions. The effectiveness of large farms in reducing poverty-induced soil antibiotic exposure risk (SABER) remains uncertain. Here we integrate global datasets on concentration of soil antibiotics, rural farm-worker employments and...

Women are central to agriculture in South America, driving food production, biodiversity conservation, and rural development. Yet, despite their essential role, many women face systemic barriers that hinder their full participation and economic advancement. Let’s explore the challenges they encounter, such as land access, financial inclusion, and technological gaps, while...

El proyecto “Apoyo al Plan de Desarrollo Integral para Centroamérica en el marco de la respuesta global de la Unión Europea al Covid-19”, se implementó en Guatemala, Honduras y El Salvador, beneficiando a más de 4300 personas. Entre los resultados obtenidos, los países han sistematizado algunas opciones de buenas prácticas...

The ecosystem approach to fisheries (EAF) has been widely promoted as a framework for fisheries management, integrating ecological, social and governance dimensions. This publication compiles ten case studies of diverse fisheries from South and Southeast Asia to showcase ongoing efforts to manage fisheries under EAF principles and synthesize lessons learned...

Este escaneo científico analiza la transición energética como un proceso estructural y gradual, vinculado a la mitigación del cambio climático mediante el uso de fuentes renovables. Su objetivo es aportar insumos estratégicos para agendas de investigación, formulación de proyectos e identificación de actores clave, especialmente en el contexto de la...

Global food loss and waste continues to increase despite efforts to reduce it. Food waste causes a disproportionally large carbon footprint and resource burdens, which require urgent action to transition away from a disposal-dominated linear system to a circular bioeconomy of recovery and reuse of valuable resources. Here, using data...

In the furrows of the earth, where life and hope germinate, Colombian peasant women have forged a path of struggle and resistance. Through the National Unitary Agricultural Trade Union Federation (Fensuagro), along with other rural Colombian organizations, we are protagonists in the construction of peasant and popular feminism, a feminism...
