Long Food Project launches new tools to strengthen people-led food systems

To mark World Food Day (16 October 2023), IPES-Food and ETC-Group  are launching a series of practical resources aimed at helping all those of us in civil society organisations and movements around the world who reject “agribusiness-as-usual” and are working to strengthen people-led food systems in line with social justice and the planet’s survival.

Industrial seaweed will not cool the climate or save nature, new report says

Research shows that mass seaweed plantations pose a major threat to marine ecosystems and are unlikely to capture or permanently store significant quantities of carbon.

September 20, 2023 - A report published today by the international research organization ETC Group casts serious doubts on seaweed as an emerging “blue carbon” industry. Their research shows that mass seaweed plantations pose a major threat to marine ecosystems and are unlikely to capture or permanently store significant quantities of carbon.[1]

Solar Geoengineering could cause a climate disaster, we need to stop it

MEXICO, PHILIPPINES, CANADA – As one of the first civil society organizations to raise the alarm about the dangers of geoengineering, ETC Group strongly opposes the Climate Overshoot Commission’s report launched in New York today, especially its endorsement of unproven carbon removal technology, and the potential for this report to open the door to solar geoengineering.

The Seaweed Delusion

Industrial seaweed will not cool the climate or save nature

As the world scrambles for a climate fix, seaweeds – or “macroalgae” – have been thrust into the limelight. Buoyed up by hype and hundreds of millions of dollars of so called “green” investment, a new “blue carbon” seaweed industry is invading coasts and seas, ostensibly under the umbrella of the 2015 Paris Agreement on Climate Change.

Hacinamiento, virulencia y crisis multidimensionales

La revista Biodiversidad, sustento y culturas número 117 (Hacinamiento, virulencia y crisis multidimensionales) es un compendio de textos sobre la producción industrial de animales hecho por organizaciones latinoamericanas que ven desde primera fila la sucia producción industrial de reses, cerdos, peces, “carne imposible” y las crisis de contaminación y enfermedad que conlleva.

Big Tech jumping on the food band wagon

Industrial agriculture is not so much jumping on the “Food Systems Transformation” band wagon as trying to steal it!

Don’t fall for the UN’s new Food Systems Coordination Hub hype about “Transforming Food Systems for Planetary Health”. The current corporate agenda, championed by this new “Hub” is firmly focused on hijacking the UN’s existing food systems spaces to force through yet another phase of Industrial Agriculture – promoting its technofixes as solutions to the very problems that it itself has caused, including in relation to climate change and biodiversity loss.

No to geoengineers’ technofix gold rush, yes to Real Zero!

Join civil society event at Bonn climate change "intersessionals"

Previously buried within the UNFCCC’s negotiating corridors and committees, a new technofix gold rush has been stealthily emerging in global climate change negotiations – with potentially disastrous implications for the world’s fight against climate change. 

Ditching techno-patriarchy and the ‘permacrisis’

The ongoing digitalisation tsunami is likely to usher in a new worldwide wave of gender-based impacts.

As CSW67 turns its attention to digitalisation, like the rest of the United Nations, this Briefing zooms in on less-discussed aspects of the ongoing digitalisation tsunami, which is likely to usher in a new worldwide wave of gender-based impacts, as the techno-patriarchy, along with Big Ag and other industries, relentlessly dreams up new ways of turning a profit by digitalising as many sectors as possible (often in extraordinarily far-fetched and unnecessary ways).

Biodiversidad, Sustento y Culturas No. 115

Número dedicado a la Soberanía Alimentaria
El mundo ha perdido la sencillez con la que lo leíamos apenas hace unos años. El signo de nuestra época es la complejidad que puede tragarnos, dejándonos en la ceguera o cayendo en los remiendos y las “falsas soluciones” que promueven las corporaciones al cazar, minuto a minuto, más oportunidades para prevalecer, para lucrar, para que sus esquemas sean aceptables y sonrientes.
 
Nadando en esa complejidad, se puso de moda invocar la soberanía alimentaria como “alternativa”.
