🌾 Pridružite se naši virtualni predstavitveni turneji!

Naši podatki iz zadnjih treh let kažejo, da
✅ agroekološke prakse spodbujajo biotsko raznovrstnost in odpornost na podnebne spremembe
✅ moramo skupaj oblikovati okvire politike, ki bodo kmetom omogočili sprejetje teh praks
🌾 Join our virtual roadshow to turn robust research into real policy action

Our 3 years of data prove
✅ Agroecological practices boost biodiversity & climate resilience
✅ We must co-create policy frameworks that empower farmers to adopt these practices
