“#Agroecology isn’t a quick fix, but creates long-term sustainability, restores soil fertility & creates diversity for environmental health & more resilient livelihoods.” Dr Susan Chomba stresses real solutions to address the #climatecrisis & create resilience. #food4climate #cop27

We don’t need to invent new solutions in #foodsystems. Indigenous communities have been sustainably looking after their land & resources for centuries. It’s the economic model that endangers them that needs to change - says Rukshana Nanayakkara of Land Coalition #netzero #cop27 @iatp

How do we develop truly (climate) resilient food systems? Latha Swamy shares how the New Haven Food Policy Dept works to amplify the organizing power and the lived & learned experiences of residents rather than implementing top-down policy processes. #Cop27 #GlasgowDeclaration

💡Friends of the Earth International, Institute for Agriculture and Trade Policy (IATP), CIDSE & AFSA exposing false solutions at #COP27. Kirtana Chandrasekaran exposing how many carbon offsets schemes & nature-based solutions being presented this week are often energy-intensive, exacerbate land grabbing & do nothing to address #climatejustice.

👏Million Belay of AFSA & IPES-Food reminding us that #agroecology is a form of resistance: resistance to (neo)colonialism, resistance to philanthro-capitalism & resistance to those seeking to force the industrial model on Africa. #Agroecology4Climate #COP27  Center for Food Safety

Thanks @EURACTIV! The small-scale farmers & pastoralists from AFSA, La Via Campesina (Official EN) or National Farmers Union nationale des fermiers I’ve spoken to at #COP27 clearly carry the solutions to tackle the #climatecrisis. Why are their interests still so poorly reflected in climate negotiations & initiatives??

"National governments have to step up their support to local initiatives and authorities. We need to link food and climate at all levels of governments." Chantal Wei-Ying Clement IPES-Food at the ICLEI #LGMA Pavilion at COP27

Cities are pioneers in the transition to sustainable resilient #foodsystems. Their policies & practices are improving not only climate performance but biodiversity, nutrition & resilient livelihoods - our Chantal Wei-Ying Clement at ICLEI #COP27 glasgowdeclaration.org #FoodCOP27

🍚 Today is Agriculture & Adaptation Day at #COP27 ! 🌆 Let’s not forgot the major role local authorities are playing in tackling the climate crisis through integrated & participatory food policies. #GlasgowDeclaration #food4climate youtu.be/9WS3mp5fzoA

Less than 3% of Climate finance goes to food systems & only a fraction of that goes to truly sustainable solutions. Join IPES-Food, AFSA, Global Alliance for the Future of Food, @FutureForAll & @bothends.bsky.social at #Cop27 to discuss out how to reverse this!

No one ever needs to go hungry again if we put the right food policies in place. Many of the answers to develop these will be found within local communities. IPES-Food’s Nicole Pita calls for ambitious government action & more participation in decision-making!

Thank you, @DrRupaMarya, for talking some sense into the “trade show for the end of time” that is #COP27  🙌 We need more voices naming colonial #capitalism as the structural source of the #ClimateCrisis, from its destruction of natural biomes to our own internal (micro)biomes.

#COP27 in a nutshell

What went right & wrong at #COP27 for food systems sustainability? Join us next week to find out! Spoiler alert: it’ll mostly be about the latter…

There’s nothing quite like a climate COP to make you feel hope, despair, resolve & frustration all at the same time… Thank you to my amazing team at @ipesfood for your energy & spirit over the past 2 weeks. Let’s keep fighting the good (food) fight! It’s far from over. #COP27

Proud of this IPES-Food report & the #GlasgowDeclaration signatories behind it😁 National govts are still falling short on their climate commitments, but local heroes are everywhere🦸🏾‍♀️ Cities & regions are doing pioneering work to tackle the #climatecrisis through food! #COP28👇🏽

📢 NEW IPES-Food REPORT 🛟 Global hunger is rising. Dependence on long, opaque supply chains is failing us. 🌾 It's time to prioritize the local markets & food chains providing #foodsecurity & #resilience around the world. #FoodFromSomewhere ipes-food.org/report/food-fr…
