A message for us on World Environment Day 2025: A A message for us on World Environment Day 2025:

At the heart of the ecological and social crisis we are experiencing today lies a simple yet revolutionary truth: biodiversity is life. It is not only the foundation of our food, our soil, our health, our landscapes, and our local economies—it is also the source of our freedom, our cultures, and our capacity to resist and regenerate.

To imagine and practice biodiversity-based agroecology is a powerful act of imagination. It is not merely an alternative to chemical agriculture—it is the blueprint for a new paradigm. A paradigm that heals the Earth and our communities, that replaces scarcity with abundance, uniformity with diversity, and violence with care.

To build this world, we need trust. Trust in the regenerative capacity of the Earth. Trust in our bodies, in the wisdom of our senses. Trust that even the smallest actions—planting a seed, sharing a meal, supporting a farmer—can change the course of history. With every seed we sow, every plant we nurture, and every bite we take, we are making a choice between degeneration and regeneration.

🌱 Urban and Peri-Urban Biodiversity: Discoverin 🌱 Urban and Peri-Urban Biodiversity: Discovering Soil and Wild Plants in Everyday Spaces🌿

As part of our *Young Guardians of Biodiversity* programme, we shifted our focus beyond forests to explore the biodiversity found in meadows, edges, and green spaces in and around the city — the living ecosystems that surround our everyday lives.

Often overlooked or undervalued, this nearby nature is made up of resilient wild plants, regenerating soils, and delicate ecological relationships — quiet indicators of health, balance, and transformation.

Through hands-on, creative activities — including exploratory walks, soil observation, plant identification, and botanical drawing — participants learned to look more closely at their surroundings, recognising the ecological and cultural value even in the most familiar places.

This journey sparked curiosity and deepened ecological awareness, transforming the urban landscape into a space for learning, connection, and care. It encouraged young people to become active stewards of the Earth, able to recognise and protect the life that grows all around us — from forests to city sidewalks.

This project was made possible thanks to the 8×1000 contribution of @unione_induista_italiana

A message from Vandana Shiva for World Biodiversit A message from Vandana Shiva for World Biodiversity Day

Biodiversity is life itself—the foundation of our food, soil, health, culture, and freedom. Yet industrial agriculture’s monocultures, GMOs, and poisons are destroying this diversity, harming ecosystems and our well-being.

The loss of biodiversity weakens soil, disrupts our gut microbiome, and makes farming vulnerable to climate change. But biodiversity is more than conservation—it is nourishment, prevention, and healing. The crises of climate, food, health, and biodiversity are connected because Earth is a living system where all life is deeply linked.

For over 30 years, Navdanya has saved thousands of seed varieties, created community seed banks, and promoted biodiversity-based agroecology. Farmers who embrace this regenerate soil, grow nutritious food, improve incomes, and reclaim autonomy. Cultivating biodiversity is an act of resistance and love for the Earth.

Education is key. At Earth University and through Navdanya International’s Ecoculturae program, we nurture ecological literacy that integrates scientific knowledge, traditional wisdom, and hands-on experience. True education awakens awareness of the invisible threads connecting soil, seeds, health, culture, and ecology.

Millions worldwide are walking this path—saving seeds, tending gardens, cooking real food, and building local economies rooted in care and reciprocity. Biodiversity-based agroecology heals Earth and communities, replacing scarcity with abundance, uniformity with diversity, and violence with care.

On this International Day for Biological Diversity, remember: every seed saved is a seed of hope, every act of regeneration, an act of freedom. Trust Earth’s regenerative power, our bodies, and the collective power of small actions to change history.

Biodiversity is the key—to survival, regeneration, and a future where communities and nature flourish together.

🌿 Soil is more than dirt under our feet — it’s a living ally in the fight for climate resilience and food sovereignty.

During a full-day experience at a local farm, young participants immersed themselves in the realities of an ecological grazing system. This wasn’t just a visit: it was a hands-on journey into the heart of a food system rooted in care for the Earth.

From observing how pasture-based livestock contribute to soil regeneration, to hands-on workshops in cheese-making and food sustainability, the experience offered concrete tools to understand how our daily food choices connect to wider ecological and social systems.

Exploring regenerative pastures that have gained international attention for their capacity to build soil fertility and biomass, the group reflected on the role of biodiversity, local knowledge, and small-scale farming in shaping the food systems of the future.

🌱 When farming regenerates the soil, it also nourishes communities, ecosystems, and the climate.

This project is made possible thanks to the 8x1000 contribution from the @unionebuddhistaitaliana
