  7. Ancient drought resistant winegrape instilling hope for struggling farmers
    By Amelia Walters

    In an Australian first, two South Australian winegrape growers are trialling an ancient variety from Cyprus that is reducing water consumption and reconnecting them to their Mediterranean roots.

  16. CW: 🌾Online Event- Farm Workers in South Africa and the Struggle for Justice (14. April 6pm CEST) 🌾

    🌾Online Event- Farm Workers in South Africa and the Struggle for Justice 🌾

    with Carmen Louw and Stephmarie Pekeur, hosted in collaboration between Women on Farms Project and the Farmers Without Borders

    🗓️ *Tuesday, 14.04.2026 at 6pm (CEST/SAST)*

    💻 *Online – Please register here:* uni-kassel.zoom-x.de/meeting/r

    South Africa’s agricultural sector is deeply integrated into global markets, supplying supermarkets worldwide with products such as table grapes and wine. Yet many (women) farm workers and farm dwellers behind these exports face precarious working and living conditions. On many farms, ownership and power remain concentrated among white farm owners, and everyday relations are still characterised by reflect inequalities rooted in apartheid.

    This online event explores the realities of life and work on South African farms. We will discuss power dynamics in the agricultural sector, the role of agribusiness, housing and living conditions, gendered experiences of farm labour, and how women workers navigate growing precarity. The conversation also highlights how farm workers and dwellers organize, resist, and raise their voices, while inviting reflection on the global food system and ongoing struggles for dignity, labour rights, and justice on farms.

    *Carmen Louw* is the Women on Farms Project Co-Director and *Stephmarie Pekeur* is a Seasonal Farm Worker.

    We are looking forward to share this space with agricultural practitioners, food rights activists and friends from the food sovereignty movements. You are warmly invited to join us and are welcome to share the invitation with your networks!

  17. CW: Bad news: pesticides. But an very good approach to calculate ecological toxicity

    RE: eupolicy.social/@Akshay/116192

    "To determine global pesticide risk, the study researchers looked at data on pesticide use from 2013 to 2019 in 65 nations that collectively represent nearly 80% of global crop acreage. They then combined these statistics with data on the toxicity of 625 pesticides for eight different species groups, including aquatic invertebrates and plants, fish, pollinating insects, soil organisms, and terrestrial arthropods, plants and vertebrates."

    This TAT [total applied toxicity] is a very good approach to measure ecotoxicity. This is very important since the often used "tons of pesticides applied" is quite useless when we are talking about substances with highly varying toxicity. 👌

    Of many pesticides, we do not really know the toxicity, or there is a lack of scientific consensus because the agrochemical corporations play dirty and have an army of paid pseudo-scientists. Additionally, toxicological studies focus mainly on acute toxicity on humans and not on long-term adverse health effects or the effects of combinations of different pollutants. And the toxicity for ecosystem functions is seldom even considered.
    May this TAT help us to not underestimate toxicity so much.

  22. Major soy traders including Cargill, ADM and Bunge are withdrawing from the Amazon Soy Moratorium — a shift observers warn could drive deforestation up 30% by 2045.

    Backed by agribusiness-linked groups and politicians, the move may give land speculators a “green light” to clear rainforest, even as forest loss threatens rainfall, crop yields and long-term market stability.
