Force et courage à eux. #NotATarget

Researchers from GAIN (Ty Beal), @fao (@Anne_Mottet), @globalfoodteam (@iamMarioHerrero) & Stanford Medicine have launched a 🆕 paper on 'the role of animal-source foods in healthy and environmentally sustainable diets'. More information here. bit.ly/gain_pressrele…

🙏 Que 2023 ramène Olivier Dubois à sa famille 🕊 #FreeOlivierDubois

Pastoralism & Uncertainty: 'The longstanding obsession with tree planting as a route to addressing climate & biodiversity challenges must be rethought. Covering over half the world’s land surface, rangelands - as ‘open ecosystems’ – require a very different approach' pastres.files.wordpress.com/2022/09/en-inf…

#Pastoralists are practised guardians of nature. #Mobile #livestock production can enhance biodiversity, protect rare species, prevent wildfires and sequester carbon. 🐑🐑🐑

#FreeOlivierDubois . 600 jours intolérables

Cela fait 19 mois qu’Olivier est otage au Mali. Il est le journaliste français dont la captivité est la plus longue depuis 30 ans.
Jusqu’à quand?

Dans le nord du #BurkinaFaso , la bataille des femmes pour quelques litres d’eau. Marcher, remplir, pousser. En plus de la sècheresse, l'afflux des déplacés menace les ressources, déjà rares. Reportage à #Ouahigouya , où certains n'ont accès qu'à 7 L/jour. lemonde.fr/afrique/articl…

A warm invitation to anyone who will be in Brussels on 8 Dec to join this event - as well as the mini-conference on pastoralism at the EC InfoPoint on 7 Dec at 11:00 CET.

Watch our video:
'Livestock are a significant source of greenhouse gas emissions, but different ways of producing food can have very different effects... animal source foods remain a vital source of nutrition for vulnerable populations around the world.'
#COP27 Institute of Development Studies ILRI.org

Delegates and activists at #COP27 must remember that food security and emission reductions are vital for humanity’s long-term well-being. Villainizing livestock will achieve neither.

6/ Policy and funding leaders need to direct #ClimateFinance to countries to build sustainable livestock systems. In Africa, this means investing in adaptation to achieve mitigation co-benefits. #LetsTalkLivestock

5/ Step 3. Invest in infrastructure.

Yes, we need to talk about global emissions and our #foodsystems . But marginalising livestock keepers in developing countries in #FoodSystems at #COP27 is not an option.

4/ Step 2. Promote mixed farming systems

In Kenya, farmers are experimenting with drought-tolerant forages mixed with crops in order to:

👉 overcome feed shortages in the dry seasons
👉 raise the fertility of soils
👉 increase their carbon sequestration capabilities.

3/ Step 1. Dual-purpose crops that feed people and animals

Farmers in Senegal and Burkina Faso are optimising agricultural land-use by growing drought-resistant cowpea crops that produce human food and nutritious crop-residue feeds for livestock.👇

2/ We spend so much time thinking of livestock as a climate problem, when we need to look at how they can be part of the solution.

#LetsTalkLivestock COP27 to learn how to optimise the positives of livestock production and mitigate the negatives 👇

1/ Fact #1: Millions of livestock herders produce more than half of Africa’s meat and milk supply.

Fact #2: Growing #HeatStress from rising temperatures and humidity are putting their livelihoods at risk.

#LetsTalkLivestock adaptation solutions COP27

Most climate data is based on Life Cycle Assessments from industrial livestock that do not contribute to the environment. A systems approach places livestock in context and can help capture the benefits of extensive production.
