  1. The #Indigenous Roots of #RegenerativeAgriculture

    “All flourishing is mutual.”
    – Robin Wall Kimmerer, Braiding Sweetgrass

    August 9, 2023

    "While a new wave of enthusiasm has crested in recent years, regenerative agriculture is an ancient concept that originated with #IndigenousPeoples around the world more than a thousand years ago. In many Indigenous world views, humans and nature are not separate forces, but parts of a whole that need each other to thrive. Regenerative agriculture supports this by promoting farming methods that enrich the land—so it can continue to provide for present and future generations.

    "Embracing #TraditionalKnowledge

    "Due to the long and horrific history of #StolenLand and #colonization, the Global North often refers to #IndigenousPeoples’ culture and knowledge in the past tense. Yet today, Indigenous peoples are indisputably the best guardians of our world’s most precious #ecosystems. When you take into account that the few remaining Indigenous lands are home to 80 percent of the world’s #Biodiversity, while modern #IndustrialAgriculture is responsible for 80 percent of global #deforestation, it’s clear that Western society still desperately needs to learn what Indigenous people have known for millennia: that human beings must live in a reciprocal relationship with the Earth.

    "Around the world, Indigenous peoples have long practiced the key elements of regenerative agriculture. Here are just a few examples:

    The art of #agroforestry

    Some Indigenous communities, like the #Lenca people in #Honduras, know agroforestry simply as 'traditional technique.' Agroforestry—or the concept of growing crops in a way that mimics the forest and offers shade, protection, and nutrients—is such common practice there is no special name for it.

    "Our lead for sustainable forest management, Emmanuelle Bérenger, explains the importance of Indigenous growing methods: 'By using #sustainable practices taught from one generation to another, [Indigenous peoples] actively safeguard forests, preserving biodiversity and keeping a delicate balance essential for both the environment and their own sustenance.'

  3. A bag of Ghanaian cocoa that once sold for GH¢3,625 now brings GH¢2,587 — about US$220, down from US$308. Meanwhile nearly 9,000 hectares of legally protected forest reserve have gone into illegal gold pits.
    Brussels built a rule that demands GPS coordinates from a smallholder with patchy internet, exempted the actual bulldozer, delayed its own deadline twice, and calls that environmental policy. Cocoa is monitored for deforestation. #Ghana #Cocoa #Chocolate #EUDR #Deforestation

  7. OXYGEN

    If your future self could send you one sentence, what do you hope it would say? The level of deforestation we done in 10 years in the name of so called development like developed countries. We lost our consciousness about environment and one day we died due to lack of oxygen  and before died i will  say OXYGEN.
