When others promote uniform crops, Philippine farmers practice diversity with 1000s of varieties rich in nutrition, taste & adaptation. This diversity protects both ecosystems, livelihoods & our future. It was thus very important for me to attend the @planttreaty.bsky.social symposium #FarmersRights

What can agrobiodiversity do for nutrition, economy, and climate? www.devex.com/news/sponsor... Any system is as resilient as the diversity of its components — whether it's the economic system or the ecosystem. The more diverse our food sources are the more resilient and healthier we are.

Aiming to enhance the Treaty’s Multilateral System, recent @planttreaty.bsky.social WG talks focused on: • payment structure, rates under a draft revised Standard Material Transfer Agreement • benefit-sharing from DSI/genetic sequence data • expanding the list of crops enb.iisd.org/plant-geneti...
