Did you know that we can grow enough healthy food for a future population while 🥕 eliminating synthetic fertilisers and pesticides 🥕 nearly doubling the amount of land available for green and ecological infrastructure (ponds, hedges, meadows etc.) 🥕 releasing 7.5% of the current agricultural area for more flexible use 🥕 reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from agriculture by at least 38% by 2050 (with potential to offset 60%+ of remaining emissions through an afforestation scenario) 🥕 all without compromising food security or offshoring food production and the associated environmental impacts. This research is part of the @ffc_commission and IDDRI analysis that shows agroecology can produce enough healthy food for a future UK population.

Over the past decades, Ibiza’s land use has changed from flora and farmland to urban development and abandonment to forest cover. This has led to a loss of rural communities, landscapes and the disappearance of local plant varieties, animal breeds and traditional knowledge. The island of Ibiza’s food supply is now largely dependent on imports. in 2018 @IbizaPreservation launched the @IbizaProduce project in 2018, in order to create a platform through which: 🥕 Producers can access more markets 🥕 Chefs are connected to farms to buy directly from the source 🥕 Customers are made aware of where to buy or consume authentic local produce 🥕 New producers are supported to set up agriculture/food businesses in Ibiza 🥕 Local schools and hospitals commit to buying local products Over the past year, Organic produce on the island has increased by 10% which is a great stat to champion. However, a report of theirs also notes that the island is far from meeting the UN's Sustainable Development Goals - more to be done!
