Moving to a more #sustainable method of farming isn't enough.

We also need to look at adjusting our methods of agriculture to adapt to #climate breakdown that is 'locked in'.

Trust, long term funding and strategy are all key in the work required.

@NiallPMcCann @AvelingArtworks Thanks Niall!

Focus on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)!

We're proud that the Inga Model ticks 15 of the UN's 17 #SDGs.

Because of the increased efficiency of this agroforestry method, it negates the need to burn...and leaves more space available for regeneration!

[The Inga Foundation @IngaFoundation]

Hope grows in the fields of #RegenerativeAgriculture.

Let's support farmers in their quest for food security and a better future.

[The Inga Foundation @IngaFoundation]

We say enough.

A food system that relies on oppression and insecurity of farmers in the #GlobalSouth must become a thing of the past.

We can - and must - do better.

[The Inga Foundation @IngaFoundation]

There are two things we need to act on urgently:

🏭 Dramatically reduce emissions we're producing
🌱 Rapidly restore natural carbon sinks

The obstacle isn't money or knowledge. It's desire.

Biodiversity collapse and climate breakdown disproportionately impact the poorest populations across the globe.

Action isn't a choice. It's an obligation.

[The Inga Foundation @IngaFoundation]

Located in the Rio Viejo sub-catchment of the Cangrejal, this area had been heavily #deforested.

Not only has the application of Inga agroforestry and mineral supplementation brought renewed fertility, but there is also a marked increase in #biodiversity!

On-the-ground update from Honduras!

These maize plants represent hope for Snr. Cabrera and his family.

Growing in a heavily burned area previously recognised as sterile, their lush colour and size are proof of the transformative potential of the Inga Method.

[The Inga Foundation @IngaFoundation]

Hope and equality are central to sustainability!

With 70% of people in Honduras living in #poverty, our focus goes beyond sustainability.

The work we do provides #foodsecurity, a stable income, creates work and addresses issues on gender equality.

Forever inspired by the incredible work our friends at @KewScience & @kewgardens do.

It's essential that partnerships with local stakeholders are formed if we're to have any chance of tackling the #biodiversity crisis.

@BoyanSlat @TheOceanCleanup Congrats Boyan - such inspiring work!

The choice is clear: continue down the path of destruction, or embrace #regenerative agriculture and protect our planet for future generations.

[James Bullock @JMBecologist]

Far too much nature conservation is about what we think we *can* do

Rather than what we *need* to do to avoid ecological disaster

[The Inga Foundation @IngaFoundation]

Food security, #poverty reduction, #ClimateChange mitigation, #biodiversity regeneration, epidemic risk reduction.

These are just some of the positives that can be delivered when we encourage and facilitate sustainable food production!

[The Inga Foundation @IngaFoundation]

Smallholder farmers hold the key to feeding the world while protecting the planet.

Let's empower them to make a difference.

[The Inga Foundation @IngaFoundation]

Slash and burn agriculture is a destructive practice that not only contributes to #ClimateChange, but also threatens the economic sustainability of communities.

It's time to end this devastating practice and embrace #regenerative alternatives.

[The Inga Foundation @IngaFoundation]

Shifting to a #regenerative food system isn't just good for the planet, but also for farmers, consumers, and future generations.

Let's make slash and burn agriculture a thing of the past 👨‍🌾🌱♻️

[The Inga Foundation @IngaFoundation]

Did you know…

43 million people globally are at risk of falling into famine or a severe hunger crisis.

#FoodSecurity can be achieved within two years of establishing Inga alley cropping. We're proud of providing #hope for so many farmers and their families!

@JMBecologist Engagement is absolutely key.

Government support is essential, but if people on the ground don't feel heard and the solutions don't make their lives easier, then failure is inevitable.

We're busy doing this work in Honduras!
