In #Guatemala, #Indigenous women build #ClimateResilience with old and new farming methods
#AncestralKnowledge combined with #climatesmart techniques is boosting #FoodSecurity and increasing family incomes in the #LakeAtitlán region
Adam Wentworth, July 2, 2026
Excerpt: "The impacts of #ClimateChange on Indigenous communities can often lead to further #environmental damage as farmers are forced to rely on unsustainable practices, such as cutting down trees to clear more land. This can accelerate water scarcity, soil erosion and ultimately food insecurity.
"An ongoing adaptation project led by Natün has sought to reverse these impacts, working with local people to combine modern climate-smart agriculture and ancestral knowledge. The approach involves the use of #DroughtResistant crops, organic pest management and #SoilConservation techniques. This is increasingly recognised as an effective way to strengthen climate resilience.
" 'Our approach is based on soil analysis and the use of locally resilient, endemic tree species, significantly increasing survival rates and ensuring sustainable water availability despite changing rainfall patterns,' Wason explained."

📰 Rodale Institute Launches $139M Plan to Convert 10M Acres to Regenerative Farming
A national campaign aims to shift 10 million acres of U.S. farmland into organic and regenerative organic production by 2030, addressing the gap between rising consumer demand and the small share of certified organic acreage.
🌱 The initiative includes major research trials, farmer training, and public education — all designed to scale practices that improve soil health, biodiversity, and climate resilience.
🤝 Regenerative methods such as cover cropping, no‑till, and rotational grazing can boost soil carbon quickly, strengthen farm ecosystems, and reduce input needs, offering farmers both environmental and economic benefits.

Could there be any reason as to why we should sleep comfortably with our stomachs satisfied with food and another one getting spoiled for stores yet there are very many families that still sleep with empty stomachs?

Biggest harvest of habanero peppers from one plant on the balcony.
The heatwave seems to be working magic for my pepper plants, specially the habaneros.
The plant is full of flowers and small fruits and I picked these from it today to dry and use in cooking later.

The care, love, and hard work we have invested in our vegetable garden are beginning to show.
Here is a short video of the cabbage section. It has been 3 ½ weeks since we planted them together with the students of Jerome Academy.https://mas.to/@sustainable_schools/116834866866008089
Since day one, we have been using organic manure, along with mulching and regular watering.
Take a close look at the leaves. What do you notice? Do you have any suggestions on what else we can do to help them thrive more natural?
We believe they are doing well, but we would love to learn from your experience. Your thoughts are most welcome!

‘Doves and food and fun’: the fight to save a farming pioneer
#Wakelyns needs £1.2m to save its diverse organic crops and ‘micro’ enterprises including a bakery and honeybee hives
"It’s almost a political project about land use – maximising the #sustainable productivity of the land." - David Wolfe
by Patrick Barkham
Tue 30 Jun 2026 06.00 EDT"The aerial view of Wakelyns matches the experience of visiting it at ground level: in a region dominated by prairie fields of industrial agriculture, here lies a vivid green lung of land. Its sounds and sights in summer – the sleepy purr of the turtle dove, the vivid pink flash of a bullfinch – have vanished from most of the British countryside.
"But Wakelyns is not a nature reserve – it is a thriving farm, a 'living laboratory' for #agroforestry and a hub for innovation and business. It is also under threat, and its owners must raise £1.2m to turn it into a charitable community benefit society.
"The 56-acre former pig farm in Suffolk was bought by Martin and Ann Wolfe in 1992. Martin was a government plant pathologist who wanted to do more innovative research than his employers had allowed. Seeking to farm crops with fewer pesticides, herbicides and fertilisers, he created one of the first agroforestry schemes in Europe.
"Turning productive cereal-growing fields into 56 narrow 'alleys' of farmed land between rows of planted trees had been 'widely regarded as mad', said their son, #DavidWolfe, an environmental lawyer who now runs Wakelyns with his wife, Amanda Illing. 'The farmer who sold the land to them said: ‘You’ve ruined a perfectly good wheat field’.'
"Today, Wakelyns is an inspirational example of agroforestry, which has become official government policy. The government’s carbon delivery plan wants to turn 10% of arable land into agroforestry by 2050, with financial incentives to encourage more farmers to transition into something like Wakelyns.
"The lush trees that divide the alleys are all crops. After more than 30 years, some are tall trees for timber, while others provide #apples, #cherries and #plums. The most lucrative tree crop is #hazel, which is coppiced on a seven-year cycle to produce high-quality hazel stakes for traditional hedgelayers. Each stake is sold for £1.40 and Wakelyns cannot grow enough.
The farm’s motto is '#ResilienceThroughDiversity'. It pioneered the first commercial #lentil growing in the UK, and is still the country’s only commercial #BlackLentil grower. 'If Britain is serious about wanting to feed itself, we should stop growing oilseed rape for biodiesel and grow #pulses,' said Wolfe.
"Wakelyns’ diversity encompasses a uniquely genetically diverse population of wheat and multiple varieties of apple tree. When big orchards, which typically grow a narrow range of apple varieties, complain of a terrible harvest, a mixed orchard such as Wakelyns’ is fine, because every year some varieties thrive. #Monocultural farmers, says Wolfe, 'put it all on red or black'.
"Wolfe and Illing took over the farm in 2020 after Wolfe’s parents died. To the innovative farming principles, they added 'enterprise stacking', bringing people back to the land via a series of symbiotic relationships."

I always thought growing tomatoes need a lot of space for the roots to grow.
Many years ago tried to grow tomatoes on this balcony using 50L bags, but failed every time.
Not because it was hard, or didn't have enough space or sunshine, but mainly because I didn't water them properly.
This summer, I started an aggressive plan to grow as much as I can in my small area on the balcony.
Using pots as small as 2L, I planted 6 different tomato types. From cherry, to cocktail upto beefsteak.
For watering, I use 1L milk bottles, with a tiny hole at the bottom, it takes between 4-8 minutes to empty 1L , and I do it 3-4 times a day for the pots with multiple plants or 1-2 times on those with only one plants. Other plants are placed in 5L water bottles turned into self-catering flower pots. Providing constant access to water, even during the extreme heat of the sun in the french Riviera.
The results have been great so far. And now I even see the first beefsteak turning red.
