Climate change and planetary emergency amidst hostile environments
Despite the level of concern about the planetary emergency represented by climate change, there are no immediate and drastic solutions in sight to curb global warming. This is compounded by the prevailing agricultural system, which is part of a development model that has intensified this problem.
▶ At this meeting, expert Clara Nicholls suggests that we must look at what farmers living in hostile environments have been doing for centuries and have had to deal with extreme weather phenomena and climate variability.

Studies confirm that agricultural biodiversity, as used by traditional farmers in complex farming systems, contributes to increasing the resilience of agroecosystems.
And it emphasizes that new designs of modern agroecosystems require the combination of these ancestral practices with the application of agroecological principles.
Undoubtedly, it is a challenge to confront a dominant agricultural production model based on monoculture, dependence on external inputs and control of seeds by multinationals.
This meeting is part of the series A Look into the Future with an Agroecological Vision, which explores approaches to agriculture based on environmental and social sustainability. In these talks you can hear the voices of specialists in the effects of climate change, ecofeminism, pollutants or production systems.
