#biodiversity #conservation, #women #farmers & #agroecology practices are the foundations of any #smallfarm. Harvesting of a good yellow/brown #cotton crop, a #local variety grown organically in #Manipur hills.

“#Humanitarian relief is deeply connected with #foodsecurity. Catholic narrative of deluge and Noah’s Ark underline the imperative of #food & #biodiversity in the context of #climatechange.” Father Paul of @Caritas_India at @safbin_caritas regional event at @CaritasAsia

[Small farm & Farmer @Smallfarmer3]

For > a decade now @safbin_caritas regional prog in South Asia has been promoting climate-adaptive local #foodsystems led by #women #SmallFarmers collectives in partnership with @Caritas_India @CaritasAustria @Caritas_Nepal @CaritasAsia.
Proud to be co-travelling this journey.

"Interventions in the food system must be locally led. Obstacles or delays in the distribution of food must be removed". Read the statement of @iamCARITAS on The State of #FoodSecurity and #Nutrition in the World #SOFI2023 launched yesterday at the @UN: https://t.co/zDaER1lPnT

[Small farm & Farmer @Smallfarmer3]

Small farmers are critical for global food security, producing as much as 80% of the food consumed in regions such as Asia & Sub-Saharan Africa. Yet they accounted for only 1.7% of climate finance flows in 2018

Travelling #Nagaland’s Jhum lands is always a new learning experience. #Shiftingcultivation is a sophisticated #agroforestry for, by and of the local people

[Small farm & Farmer @Smallfarmer3]

Many small farmers communities are practicing or are ideal hosts for sustainable tourism. With their unique & diverse farming & food systems & +ve ecological hand prints, they can make rural & community based tourism a sustainable alternative.

[Pranab Choudhury @prchoudhury]

Adding #sustainability to #Tourism sector & promoting #sustainable tourism are not same. Idea of luxury #ecotourism is insane. Tourism has to be Responsible & tourists respectful - more so towards the hosts in community-based ecotourism. https://t.co/BeWVFY9eVd

[Small farm & Farmer @Smallfarmer3]

The tech that takes away control from small farmers & shift power relation, increase dependency on external actor & market can be disempowering.

[Farming First @farmingfirst]

How can tech be used to empower smallholder farmers in #Africa and #Asia?

A #sovereign & #sustainable #FoodSystems, must be built inclusive of #forestfoods.
Like revival of Millets, orphaned by the green revolution race, re-imagination of #forestfoods in agri-centric food narratives, is critical for ecology & nutritional-equity.

As attention & investments gear up to offset carbon to be #NetZeroBy2050 in reforestation decade, it is imp to blend local nutrition & community tenure concerns by leveraging traditional institutions & ecological knowledge. @WBG_Climate @nature_org @IntellecapTweet @NRMC_Impact
