This short video is an introduction to 'Rich Forests, a Dutch initiative aiming to promote food forests or 'analog forestry' all over the world, together with working together with local partner organisations.
Het thema van Wereldvoedseldag van dit jaar is “Water is life, water is food”. Onze partners van over de hele wereld weten maar al te goed hoe waar deze zin is. Ter ere van Wereldvoedseldag 2023, op 16 oktober, laten we een paar voorbeelden zien hoe onze partnerorganisaties vechten voor het recht op water en daarmee tegelijkertijd bijdragen aan lokale voedselsoevereiniteit.
While agriculture and livestock food production in the world have become increasingly large-scale, industrial and ever more efficient for decades, the damage and inequality this food system causes is also becoming increasingly clear. Across the world, more and more people are therefore engaged in alternative, sustainable food production that ensures many generations to come to still have access to fertile, healthy land and clean water.
In this talkshow, we highlight some of these examples and hope to fuel the dialogue about this topic.

Join us this Saturday the 28th of May for an inpiring session about the role of agro-ecology in the trasformation to a future proof food and farming system on the African continent (and beyond).
Globally, the area that is suffering desertification and land degradation is ever expanding. Unsustainable and often large-scale agricultural practices, including the copious use of pesticides and fertilizers, are a major driver of land degradation, aprocess that is further exacerbated by climate change, causing more erratic rainfall patterns, longer periods of drought and unpredictable growing seasons. This is very problematic not only for the hundreds of millions of people who directly depend on land and water for their livelihoods, but also for life on earth as a whole. It is clear that this process must be stopped and reversed, better sooner than later. But how to go about it?
Via het Wetlands without Borders-programma zetten we ons in voor duurzaam en maatschappelijk verantwoord beheer van het wetlandsysteem La Plata Basin in Zuid-Amerika. Het gebied is essentieel om de regio te beschermen tegen overstromingen en droogte, en om de levenskwaliteit van de inwoners te behouden.
