Depuis plusieurs années déjà, La Vía Campesina et GRAIN dénoncent le système d'alimentation agroindustriel qui cause la moitié des émissions de gaz à effet de serre de la planète. Mais les gouvernements refusent de s'attaquer sérieusement à ces problèmes. Cette nouvelle vidéo de La Vía Campesina et GRAIN décrit les éléments nécessaires pour comprendre les effets du système agroindustriel sur notre climat et nous explique en même temps comment nous pouvons agir pour renverser la vapeur et commencer à refroidir la planète.
Une nouvelle vidéo montre comment les paysannes en Afrique de l’Ouest travaillent pour protéger la production traditionnelle d’huile de palme face à l'impact destructeur de l'expansion des plantations industrielles de palmiers à huile.
« Semences en résistance » est une animation développée dans le cadre du documentaire « Semences : bien commun ou propriété des entreprises ? », réalisé en 2017 par un collectif d'organisations latino-américaines qui œuvrent, à l’échelle de tout le continent, à la défense des semences indigènes comme fondement de la souveraineté alimentaire des peuples. Nous partageons aujourd'hui cette animation afin d’en faire un outil supplémentaire pour vous former et former les autres sur cette problématique.
"Seeds in resistance" is an animation developed in connection with the documentary "Seeds: commons or corporate property?", produced in 2017 by a collective of Latin American organisations from all across the continent that are working to defend native seeds as the basis of peoples' food sovereignty. We are sharing this animation as one more tool to help people understand and become familiar with these issues.
This Guide for Trainers provides a complete set of materials for use in training sessions on mainstreaming gender in adaptation planning in the agriculture sectors. It is designed for a trainer or team responsible for delivering a training workshop for stakeholders who are involved in adaptation planning and related budgeting processes in agriculture.
This case study chronicles Uganda’s experiences developing a gender-responsive National Adaptation Plan for the Agricultural Sector (NAP-Ag) and related capacity development for gender-responsive planning, budgeting and policy formulation.
As the world gets hotter and rainfall more erratic, the type and availability of ingredients for daily meals are changing. With support from the Government of Canada and the Global Environment Facility’s Least Developed Countries Fund, the Canada-UNDP Climate Change Adaptation Facility (CCAF) has been supporting six least developed countries and small island developing states (Cabo Verde, Cambodia, Haiti, Mali, Niger and Sudan) to strengthen climate resilience and enhance food security. To better understand and share the experiences from these six countries, and to celebrate some of the s
As climate change continues to drive food insecurity, addressing the risks of climate change across the value chain – especially agricultural products that are important to food and nutrition security – will yield significant adaptation benefits to vulnerable small producers and rural communities at large. This will support global efforts to end hunger and poverty, build more effective farming practices that reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and accelerate the ambition of Nationally Determined Contributions to the Paris Agreement.
As calls for bolstering environmental services on croplands have grown more insistent during the past two decades, the search for ways to foster sustainable, reduced input agriculture has become more urgent. In this context authors re-examine by means of a meta-analysis the argument, first proposed by Robert McC. Netting, that small scale, mixed crop – livestock farming, a common livelihood among poor rural peoples, encourages environmentally sustainable agricultural practices.
In developing regions with high levels of poverty and a dependence on climate sensitive agriculture, studies focusing on climate change adaptation, planning, and policy processes, have gained relative importance over the years. This study assesses the impact of farmer perceptions regarding climate change on the use of sustainable agricultural practices as an adaptation strategy in the Chinyanja Triangle, Southern Africa.
