At IPES-Food, @cadwego just used data from this pic to argue that conventional agriculture is vastly inefficient if you measure what humans eat rather than tons produced. Data via @enviroem @globalecoguy fallmeeting.agu.org/2012/files/201…

Excellent question!

Can we just make “will you shut up, man?” the new Biden slogan?

The second #agroecology symposium at FAO begins with a packed room and talk of paradigm shift, transformative change, and a watershed moment.

A recurring theme in this FAO conference room lined with portraits of council presidents, all of them men: grassroots movements are working on gender equality and recognize feminism at the heart of #agroecology. We academics, policy makers, funders must follow their lead.

Clara Nicholls at FAO #agroecology: farmers are using agrobiodiversity to design agroecosystems capable of ‘failing gracefully’, so that one one component fails, other components continue producing food and other services

@antidogmatist FAO Knowledge Bring on the discussion on power! Yes, corporate power is a huge threat. But let's affirm that civil society, peasants, small farmers are not powerless. We have power -- in our diversity, knowledge, innovation. Everyday we're wielding that power and changing the food system.

Dennis Garrity of World Agroforestry at FAO #agroecologysymposium: even though agriculture is central to climate change, biodiversity, and development, #agroecology is missing from conversations in the international treaties. Agroecology needs to make noise.

A good question at the #agroecologysymposium: “what do you mean that we need to increase food production, while there is already enough food produced in the world today, and much of what is sold in the name of increasing production actually kills biodiversity and resilience?”
