#Agroecology is increasingly recognized by governments and institutions as an effective approach to reducing hunger and injustice, improving nutrition, conserving natural resources and helping agriculture mitigate and adapt to climate change. https://t.co/CHAKpnN4j3 #WorldFoodDay

Shout out to all the farmers and gardeners #seedsaving right now! We're right in the middle of harvest season and that means folks are hard at work harvesting seeds too.

These seed savers are keeping #biodiversity alive at a time when the world is rapidly losing it.

What does agriculture have to do with feminism? Around the world, women farmers grow food and preserve #biodiversity, but their work is unpaid and undervalued compared to men. Send a letter to your MP to support programs that let women take the lead ➡ https://t.co/Zjl3ZnVFzp

Since the development of any new crop varieties relies on the work done by generations of farmers to select, save and replant seeds, is it fair to give fewer and fewer seed companies control over newer varieties of seed? https://t.co/r1RJrWerE1 @NFUcanada #iamaseedsaver

@IPBES @jonathanwatts @guardian Agricultural #biodiversity is disappearing too. This tremendous loss exposes us to crop failure and food shortages in unpredictable and rapidly changing environments. https://t.co/EhJREGqm5a #BiodiversityAssessment #WeNeedAShift

DYK? Women farmers have less access to land, less control of resources and less power to make decisions.

Yet they grow food for their families, strengthen local economies, conserve biodiversity, protect ecosystems + increase resilience to #climatechange. https://t.co/CNnowG6DuI

[SeedChange / Sème l’avenir @seedchange_]

So how do we create resilient, sustainable and just food systems in a changing world? We can achieve this through #agroecology, fostering seed diversity, and working with small-scale farmers toward #foodsovereignty. https://t.co/PSrvmzJ27g #WeNeedAShift

[SeedChange / Sème l’avenir @seedchange_]

When women farmers are empowered to make decisions in their communities, everyone - including mother nature - benefits!

#Genderequity starts by empowering women in their fields. Let's get women #farmers the support and recognition they deserve. https://t.co/CNnowGoeTi

This #EarthDay take a moment to learn about the peasant, Indigenous and family farmers whose access to land is threatened. Land grabs have been on the rise since 2008, and they're putting farmers' lives and livelihoods at risk. https://t.co/M2EpUS350z #PeasantsRightsNow
