Privileged to sit next to @olivikam PS @RwandaAgri at #SPAC2024 in Kigali who said Rwanda deployed #agroforestry to increase #Sustainability of agricultural land, esp with N-fixing trees. Avg tree density on farms is 25 per ha but ag productivity increases up to 50-75 per ha

Just when you thought #COP28 was over here comes the #agroecology session you've all been waiting for - happening today @CIFOR_ICRAF @AgroecologyGoal @BangorUni @BUForestry

Important discussion about how we should provide N to crops in the coming century - biological N fixation on farms or industrially produced N from factories?See framing presentation here https://t.co/y6kx2p2IxX

[Agroecology Coalition @AgroecologyGoal]

🌱🔴We collaborated with #Agroecology TPP and @AgroecologyE to host a workshop on agroecological approaches to nutrient utilization and #SoilHealth management at the Agroecology Europe Forum 2023.
Over 40 participants actively took part.
👉Stay tuned for a written summary!

What @WWFLeadFood didn't say in his masterful intervention at #SeedsToSolutions was the need to go beyond diversity to diversification - mixing crops in fields - so legumes substitute industrial N, and pests and diseases are naturally controlled @CIFOR_ICRAF #agroecology

Groundbreaking research by @CIFOR_ICRAF in #Vietnam shows that practising #agroforestry along contours in sloping maize fields conserves soil, diversifies and increases income and builds resilience of lives and landscapes. #agroecology in action!

Eating up life on land! Tight piece looking at how #agroecology can help us tackle @SDGoals 2 (Zero hunger) and 15 (Life on land ) at the same time, just out in @giz_gmbh's @food4transform marking half-time to reaching 2030 SDG targets https://t.co/lzjVytBY5S

The world produces enough food to feed nearly 2x the current population. So why do we still have millions starving every year & what can be done about it? This article by @Reuters offers useful insights, including mine. @ciwf @WRIafrica https://t.co/HzTsTk6osD

[Fergus Sinclair - views my own @fergus_sinclair]

Great perspective from @IPESfood esp on food loss and waste but @pinhookfarm shouldn't let business as usual agriculture purloin 'technology' - harnessing natural processes is often better tech - biological N fixation is more efficient and sustainable than industrially produced N

@MogensStrunge @ICRAF @CIFOR Root cause balance of payments deficit. Farmers were given free fertilizer until country had no forex and couldn’t afford to import. What is the most appropriate technology for supplying N to crops - biological that is driven by solar or industrial responsible 4 ghg emissions?

Two for the price of one. Toe to toe with Vietnamese Minster of Agriculture explaining how diversity and productivity can go hand in hand.

Some trees with your rice? Check out this blog on a new global analysis showing how trees can increase rice yield. Great illustration of #agroecology intensification as alternative to chemicals on monocultures https://t.co/YEXIW6mShi. @ICRAF @JonneRodenburg #agroforestry

[Fergus Sinclair - views my own @fergus_sinclair]

Interesting results that adding trees to rice production systems can increase rice yield but outcomes depend on species and management!
