Agroecology Info Pool
Biovision is committed to promoting favourable political and economic conditions for agroecology. An understanding of the potential of agroecology will be increased through well-founded information, through bringing together diverse actors in the food system (for example the private sector, civil society organizations and researchers), and through exchange among decision-makers. The project website agroecology-pool.ch gathers current findings from projects and science and makes them accessible to everyone to support a sustainable transformation of the food system.

“To Solve the Climate Crisis, We Need to Rethink”
The influence of agriculture and the food system on the climate has been neglected in climate negotiations thus far. In recent years, Biovision has been advocating for an agroecological transformation to address climate change. It was also present this year at the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP27) in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt. We spoke to Tanja Carrillo from our Policy & Advocacy team about whether this conference has brought us a step closer to climate protection.

Healthy soil is life!
Soil is the fundament for life on Earth, provides food and feed for all creatures above and below ground and plays a major role in climate protection! Soils bind atmospheric CO2, absorb rain water while prevent flooding, store water in long dry seasons, and buffer the extreme adverse impacts of the fast changing climate.
