    In the #competition for #innovation and ‚#progress‘, disruptive technologies are being promoted. The problem is: The disruptions caused by #newgeneticengineering (#NGTs) can endanger our #livelihoods and native #biodiversity.

    Inform your representatives why the deregulation of new #geneticengineering must be rejected.

    "we project a 36 to 50% contraction in suitable grazing areas by 2100 due to future #climate change. We show the loss of safe #climatic space for grazing overlaps significantly with regions already suffering from severe #poverty, #hunger, and #political #fragility. We estimate this could displace the #livelihoods of over 100 million #pastoralist

  7. Always a surprise what the morning WhatsApp delivers! Inspiring to see the #tree planting work of Enduata community, southern #Kenya with ongoing support of LEAF continuing to have a positive impact on #landscape and #livelihoods @[email protected]

  8. Another ecological good news story, this one from Kashmir India.

    Ahmad, whose four brothers also depend on the lake for their livelihood, says that seeing the lotus bloom again feels like a dream come true. “We had lost all hope that it would ever return. Some in our community even took up other work, like labouring, to survive. But we waited,” he says.

    “Our elders used to collect lotus stems from the lake and sell them in various markets across the valley, especially during special occasions,” he says.

    “After the lotus disappeared, they turned to fishing, but that didn’t prove as sustainable. The return of the lotus has brought back hope.”

  9. What made #GenghisKhan successful was ending the #genetics of those who were #honest about not believing in him as #leader, destroying #lives / #livelihoods, stealing their #wealth / #value, making #slaves but allowing #Freedom of #Religion, #RuleOfLaw, and #Democracy in the lower ranks. The failure of #Mongolia was due to the higher ranks being chosen through #loyalty and #family / #nepotism, and not enforcing #law on those higher ranks. Sound familiar?

  10. #AI, open source or otherwise, is an existential threat to millions of people's #livelihoods.

    Either we, as a #society, come up with a way that people can maintain or even improve their lives while working less...

    or we'll end up in a #dystopian society where a few billionaires will have all the #manufacturing means forcing the rest of us to #beg, #steal and scrape together what little we can to buy daily #necessities from those same billionaires.

  16. July General Election in the UK.
    Most candidates will be blethering about "growth", with platforms that do nothing or little to address the polypancrisis.

    We know there is an alternative and it looks something like this

    I can reveal that neither of them will be presenting the policy choices that are needed in the face of multiple symptoms of systems #collapse.
    Instead do take a look at and promote the #GettingReal policy portfolio.

  18. @natureworks "a range of blended services (#agroforestry, education, #coppicing, tourism, burial ground, orchard etc) that support sustainable #livelihoods whilst simultaneously increasing #biodiversity."
    Yum, yum. You're talking my language.
    Got stuff you might want to have published in the US, Pc Design Mag, perhaps? Do you know Maddy Harland, editor at Pc Mag? She'd publish your stuff, too, if she hasn't already.

  24. A comprehensive #design anticipates what’s #essential, addressing material needs as a complete experience. This approach regards vital assets as birthrights rather than luxuries. #Smallscale #systems meet material needs by prioritizing direct utility over other assigned values. This immediacy in need-satisfaction reduces disruption, vulnerability, and insufficiency to achieve stable, all-inclusive #livelihoods.

  25. Community of Dragons is back this eve! 🐲 It's a way to mobilise funds & community support for local, regenerative businesses on land, food, art, bikes, production and more that emerged from Transition Town Totnes and the REconomy Project.

    It's a friendly dragon's den style pitching event where local entrepreneurs can share their brilliant projects and anyone in the community can offer support, connections, investment and practical help. Hope it's a great event this evening!

    Founder Jay Tompt told the story when explored how "Together We Can build sustainable livelihoods" youtu.be/chAvh4sIwZ8
