I have NOTHING to add to Mathew Jacobson's spot-on comment on the Cargill-MacMillans, the owners of Cargill: "Put simply, it is outrageous that in 2023 one of the richest families in America is still profiting from African children laboring on plantations."

This ad by Pacific Wild in Canada, featuring William Shatner, is gaining attention for its clever and humorous approach towards environmental advocacy. While some may find the ad's language crude, it's undeniably clever ( be warned before you click, it is NSFW). To evaluate its true effectiveness, I have additional questions: 1) What percentage of ad clicks led to actions taken? 2) How does this conversion rate compare to other campaigns? 3) Is there a strategy to retain and engage respondents further - and over time are these respondents more or less committed than people recruited another way? 4) Does allowing non-constituent messages to lawmakers work in Canada? It's a no-no in the US. 5) How might the strident message to lawmakers be received, and could it potentially backfire? Measuring the impact of an advocacy campaign goes beyond the ad itself.

In rural areas of the department of Usulután, El Salvador, the poverty rate is nearly triple that of urban areas. Farmers cope with environmental degradation and receive little training. Asociación Cooperativa de Comercialización y Producción Agrícola Compañero Erick (ACOPROERICK), a producers’ association and IAF grantee, helps 600+ farmers produce, process, and market basic grains such as corn, beans, and sorghum 🌽🌾. It is training members across 10 communities in five municipalities of Usulután in water capture and irrigation, organic pest management, soil restoration, and organic fertilizer preparation. After droughts cut members’ harvests by 60% in 2016, ACOPROERICK built 33 water reservoirs 💧 to nourish surrounding farms. Farmers have increased family incomes by up to 35% 📈 since the start of the IAF grant through higher crop yields. This has enabled them to improve their homes and invest in their children’s education 🏫 . https://lnkd.in/eTnc-hZW #SustainableAgriculture #RuralDevelopment #FamilyFarming

In our upcoming workshop: Decolonization, Indigenous Allyship & Protecting Sacred Plants, we will challenge participants to take Indigenous claims on plant medicines seriously, to learn about traditional cultures and practices, and to engage in collaborative, horizontal and non-transactional relationships. We will also discuss the exploitative dynamics of partnerships between the Global North and the Global South, with the goal of outlining a more meaningful and impactful approach to respectfully engaging with plant medicines and working towards a process of reciprocity. Chacruna’s Indigenous Reciprocity Initiative will serve as a reflection of all these considerations; our contribution to trying to support Indigenous-led movements for self-determination and sovereignty that demonstrates a grassroots, ground-up approach.

In South Seattle, Washington, residents have had the opportunity to enjoy Jimi Hendrix Park, a 2.3-acre community garden that was established in 2020 by Black Star Farmers, a local activist group fighting for land and food sovereignty. Up until 2013, many Black residents were not able to cultivate food for their communities due to urban agriculture ordinances and zoning laws that prevented residents from operating urban farms on city-owned land. To ensure equitable food systems for all, laws and policies must be created to amplify community voices that are responsive to community needs, including equitable access to training and development programs. Read more about the recommendations provided to help support food sovereignty. https://ow.ly/1cGK50QjgJ3 #foodsecurity #communitygarden #belonging #foodsovergignty #BIPOC #communityfarm #gentrification #displacement #equitablefoodsystems

Soil is a fundamental part of living beings, but the rapid development of humankind threatens the regular cycle of soil and water. However, to abate this threat, the world came together to advocate for the importance of soil, and December 5th of the year now represents World Soil Day. This year's theme for #WorldSoilDay is Soil and Water: A source of Life, and to promote this,Hasibul Hasan Hasib, co-founder of Social Impact Lab BRAC University wrote a fun book for children ages 6 to 11. As he said, “Change is a continuous process, and to start an advocacy, it is needed to seed the theme in the early years of life,” which inspired him to create a book based on this theme and support the agenda of FAO.
