The climate crisis we are facing today is being exacerbated by the industrial food system which is both very vulnerable to climate change and a significant contributor to it. A global transition to biodiverse and local food and farming systems can be key both for mitigating and adapting to climate change and for ensuring food sovereignty. Through a transformative approach, agroecology can represent a true systemic solution, a cornerstone of the necessary paradigm shift, for building climate resilience by regenerating our planet, our biodiversity, our local communities, our health, and our democracy.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">But in the name of solving the climate crisis, large corporations, industries, and lobby groups are now promoting a whole range of ineffective, unproven, and sometimes dangerous false solutions through \u2018innovative\u2019 technologies. These <b>techno-fixes<\/b> cover a wide range of areas and can include genetically modified crops and gene editing, artificial and lab-grown foods, geoengineering, biofuels, climate-smart or precision agriculture, carbon credits, and so on. The common thread between all these schemes is the mindset that any issue can and should only be solved through technological innovation and the rules of the private market. Not only do these hasty remedies present considerable risks for ecosystems, biodiversity, and communities, but they also create a blind spot for the root causes of the crises we are facing.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">While these techno-fixes aren\u2019t <b>real solutions<\/b> for the planet and human communities, we now have the choice to go down a different path, a path that acknowledges the central role agriculture has in building climate resilience.<\/p>\n<p>The conference will also be broadcast live on the<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/navdanyainternational\"> Navdanya International Facebook Page<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-22749 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/navdanyainternational.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/ClimAlt-2.2-EN.pptx.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"960\" height=\"107\" srcset=\"https:\/\/navdanyainternational.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/ClimAlt-2.2-EN.pptx.jpg 960w, https:\/\/navdanyainternational.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/ClimAlt-2.2-EN.pptx-300x33.jpg 300w, https:\/\/navdanyainternational.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/ClimAlt-2.2-EN.pptx-640x71.jpg 640w, https:\/\/navdanyainternational.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/ClimAlt-2.2-EN.pptx-768x86.jpg 768w, https:\/\/navdanyainternational.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/ClimAlt-2.2-EN.pptx-900x100.jpg 900w, https:\/\/navdanyainternational.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/ClimAlt-2.2-EN.pptx-600x67.jpg 600w, https:\/\/navdanyainternational.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/ClimAlt-2.2-EN.pptx-450x50.jpg 450w, https:\/\/navdanyainternational.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/ClimAlt-2.2-EN.pptx-200x22.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On the 23rd of June, 3 &#8211; 6 pm CEST, join us for a webinar organized by Navdanya International as part of the European project #ClimAlt, co-funded by the European Union&#8217;s Erasmus+ programme.
