We Grow is a supportive community of growers sharing land, resources, advice and opportunities. Growing groups can grow enough for a vegbox for each member or family, every week.

Habitat fragmentation cannot increase #biodiversity at landscape scales. Habitat must be restored & connectivity increased to minimize biodiversity losses: doi.org/10.1038/s415... >> To restore habitat, #landsparing (high-yielding agriculture) is better than #landsharing (e.g. in #organic farming)?
Species turnover does not resc... -
(2/2) In terms of production, high-yield #farming to spare natural habitats consistently outperforms #landsharing, esp. for species of highest #conservation concern. It also offers considerable potential for #climatechange mitigation: https://doi.org/10.1098/rstb.2023.0216 #yields #diets

Current conservation policies risk accelerating #biodiversity loss
"Three approaches that aim to cut the harms of #agriculture — land sharing, rewilding and #organic farming — risk driving up food imports and causing environmental damage overseas. An alternative approach is both effective and cheaper."

Great new study shows that the Jevons paradox is real: increasing agricultural productivity to "spare" land actually increases land conversion #agriculture #foodsecurity #landsharing #landsparing https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10531-022-02540-4

Ah, the #LandSharing vs #LandSparing debate brings some data. Interesting.
"The study suggests that this “land sparing” approach would cost just 48% of the funds required to achieve the same outcomes for #biodiversity and the #climate through an approach known as “land sharing”, where conservation measures get mixed into farming by adding hedgerows to fields, reducing pesticides, and so on – all of which lowers food yield."
