Bioversity talks Landscapes

On the heels of the Nairobi International Forum, the discussions around integrated agricultural landscapes are still forefront on our minds. Co-Organizer Bioversity International’s Pablo Eyzaguirre extends the discourse to the web, talking about the potential for landscape approaches to reconcile the objectives of agricultural production and nature conservation. The video depicts how communities are finding innovative ways to grow food and make a living in some of the most difficult environmental conditions. It also explains how Bioversity International is contributing its knowledge gained from working with smallholder farmers around the world to the Landscape for People, Food and Nature Initiative, in an effort to move toward sustainable approaches in food systems.

    What a wonderfully positive message.. We marvel at the adaptive nature of the biotic world, yet so often forget to marvel on the amazing adaptive character that we humans possess as well.
