Indeed... but, as you well know, the 'solutions' proposed can distract attention from dealing with root causes... Real solutions are readily available but will require radical transformation of the greed society that's fuelled by corporate interests?? www.foodethicscouncil.org/opinion/the-...

🔥 Why This Matters Now: As the future of agricultural biodiversity is debated in international arenas, seeds stand as a living legacy. Defending them is a matter of justice. It is the defense of: ✊ Food sovereignty ✊ Rights of peoples ✊ Continuity of our collective history.

This🔑Guarantees seed sovereignty 🔑Builds resilience against climate change 🔑Protects agricultural biodiversity 🔑Keeps seeds and knowledge in peasant hands. While industrial agriculture pushes uniformity and corporate control, peasant communities are cultivating diversity, adaptation, & autonomy💪

including all the corporate-profit-oriented processes for which fossil fuels" provide power and inputs e.g. industrial commodity production systems. #biodiverse #agroecology can provide zero-carbon food for all, while enhancing #biodiversity but needs territorial, economic and social protection.

An illustration in warm coral and brown tones showing a peaceful landscape. The scene depicts silhouettes of people and animals coexisting in a natural setting with trees, shrubs, and wildflowers. In the background, tall trees create a canopy while silhouettes show individuals with horses. In the foreground, flowers dot the gentle slopes, and a deer moves through the vegetation. The image includes text reading "LIVING IN HARMONY WITH NATURE" with a subtitle "Embrace interdependence for a peaceful coexistence with all living beings."
