Agricultural practices in climate change resilience
A number of meta-analyses, reviews and studies have compared the environmental and economic outcomes of agroecological practices compared to conventional agricultural practices. There is a strong empirical evidence base for agroecology-aligned practices in supporting climate change adaptation, mitigation and resilience. Benefits from agroecology practices include improved grain yields with fewer inputs, greater biodiversity, improved soil […]
Confronto tra fertilizzanti organici: impatto su clima, resa e vita del suolo – Un video di FIBL
Il FiBL e Agroscope conducono il progetto Recycle4Bio dal 2018. Un nuovo video mostra i primi risultati di una sperimentazione sul campo durata sette anni in cui è stato studiato l’effetto di diversi fertilizzanti organici sul clima, sulle rese e sulla biologia del suolo. L’agricoltura biologica si basa sull’apporto di sostanze nutritive provenienti da fertilizzanti […]
Biodiversity and climate change adaptation on ecological organic farms in the Tropics
This factsheet introduces: how organic farmers can team up with a diversity of plants, animals and micro-organisms to increase their ability to adapt to changes and reduce risks. The information is based on long-term experiments and on-farm research conducted in the scope of three projects across different countries in Africa, as well as Bolivia and […]
Promuovere l'agricoltura biologica in Africa: la FIBL pubblica un nuovo materiale formativo / Advancing organic agriculture in Africa: FIBL publishes new training material
L’agricoltura biologica e gli approcci agroecologici stanno acquisendo importanza in Africa, in quanto dovrebbero migliorare la salute dell’ambiente, la sicurezza nutrizionale e il benessere dei piccoli agricoltori e dei consumatori, contribuendo a diete sane e diversificate. Diversi studi condotti in ambienti temperati (principalmente in Europa o in America settentrionale) hanno stabilito i benefici dell’agricoltura biologica […]
Didactic Toolkit for the Design, Management and Assessment of Resilient Farming Systems
The main objective of this methodological toolkit is to aid farmers and technicians to better understand the principles and/or mechanisms that underlie the resiliency (or lack thereof) of farming systems and how agroecological management can enhance the capacity of farmers to adapt to unpredictable and severe climatic variability. The tool allows users to better clarify […]
EIP-AGRI Focus Group – Pests and diseases of the olive tree: Final report
Over 750 million olive trees are cultivated worldwide, 95% of which are in the Mediterranean region. Several insects, pathogens and nematodes affect olive trees, threatening olive production. Both the number of pests and diseases and their frequency has increased dramatically in recent years, causing serious damage to overall EU olive production. Trade and the movement […]
