The benefits of #agroecology are not a notion but a fact!

✅ A meta-analysis of 170 studies, spread across 21 countries in Europe, highlights that agroecology increases #biodiversity in agroecosystems, soil C storage, and N2O mitigation

Paper is led by Cian Blaix 👉 doi.org/10.1016/j.ag...

New paper out on soil quality along an agroecological transition. Our findings show that transitioning to natural farming, even after just 2 years of removing pesticides and adding bio-inputs, had positive detectable effects on soil health.

The new European Butterfly Red List is published today, with worrying findings. Over 1/4 (28%) of Europe’s 442 species are threatened with extinction or are close to being so. The situation is far worse for our 148 endemic species, 40% are now threatened or nearly so www.bc-europe.eu/webpage.php?...
