Bringing Farmers Together – Collectives & Carbon Credits
Small and marginal farmers are the most vulnerable to climate change 🚨. The good news? Sustainable soil management practices 🌱 can climate-proof these farmers whilst making their lands an effective carbon sink. On Day 2 of #COP28, a panel of experts at the #SaveSoil Pavilion discussed problems and solutions when it comes to collective farmer action and access to carbon credit markets.
Listen to key takeaways from Helmy Abouleish, CEO of @sekemgroup, @macaulaytjones, Liaison Officer for the Scientific Council at @worldfarmersorg, Jochen Buchmaier, Managing Director of HUMUS+, and Venkat Rasa, Project Director of @Outreach_Isha.

.@UNBiodiversity@FAO Thankfully, we don’t have to wait a thousand years for new soil: we can replenish existing soil in a matter of years, not centuries, by adding soil organic matter 🍂🐄, thereby improving soil fertility, reducing erosion, and mitigating the effects of #climatechange. 🏭
At this year’s #COP28, 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗰𝘁 𝗡𝗲𝘀𝘁 is presenting the ""𝗪𝗮𝗸𝗲-𝗨𝗽 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲"" - a powerful multi-media event designed to shed light on the critical relationship between climate change and forced displacement while offering powerful insights on easy, accessible, and impactful solutions. Impact Nest is here to plant a seed in people’s minds and hearts by partnering with UNHCR @Refugees and @SadhguruJV - a leading voice in championing #soilhealth as a solution to #climatechange, and founder of the #SaveSoil movement. This truly magical show, nested at COP28’s core and taking place at the monumental Al Wasl Plaza, will stand for creating a more sustainable future for all.

Soil has a voice now! 📢 Due to the efforts of the #SaveSoil movement and many other organizations, soil has a chance to become a significant part of the #climatechange conversation at #COP28. What’s next? Jyoti, a Save Soil volunteer, reports from Dubai. ⬇️

.@FAO With the effects of #ClimateChange and the increasing unpredictability of rainfall, millets are becoming a crucial grain for the global community due to their ability to grow in less fertile soil, their deep root systems, disease and pest resistance, and remarkable water efficiency. 🌱
"What Can I Do to #SaveSoil?" @JCVD Asks @SadhguruJV. Watch Sadhguru's interesting response!
The Save Soil Pavilion at #COP28 is aimed at changing the narrative that agriculture contributes to climate change and emphasizes how regenerative agriculture can help mitigate it. The answer to climate change is beneath our feet. 🌍

Soil is the world’s second-largest carbon sink!🌱 It holds more carbon than biomass and the atmosphere combined.❄️ Therefore, policies that preserve and revitalize soil are crucial to reverse #climatechange and make a lasting impact. 📄🌍

Images from @NASA capture how months of excessive heat and drought have parched the Mississippi River between 2021 and 2023.🔥
This year, for the second consecutive year, prolonged drought reduced its flow to less than half of normal levels. 📉 Water levels dropped so low in part due to the hot, dry summer in the region. The low water levels caused barges and ships to run aground during one of the busiest times of the year to ship grain, and created saltwater intrusion concerns in southern Louisiana, disrupting the supply of food and water. 🚢
There is still time to turn around this dire situation. #SaveSoil is the need of the hour!

We are now on the precipice of the greatest crisis of our times - soil extinction. 🌱🌍
Why is it imperative we #SaveSoil now? Every year 27,000 species of soil microorganisms that depend on soil organic matter for their survival go extinct. 🦠 And 50-70% of the carbon stored in agricultural soil has already been lost. ⚠️ If we don’t reverse this and ensure at least 3-6% of soil organic matter (based on regional conditions), there is a real threat of losing many key microorganisms on which soil health, and in turn our health, depends for survival. 🚨💚
