Biodiversity. Our planet's food supply depends on it, but we're losing it fast; 75% in just the past century. Farmers have nurtured the world's biodiversity for over 10,000 years. They can restore it. Help small-scale farmers bring our food system back to life. Learn how at www.usc-canada.org

Olivier De Schutter -- UN Special Rapporteur on the Right to Food -- recently released a report extolling the benefits of ecological agriculture. In this short radio interview, he explains how today's scientific evidence demonstrates that agro-ecological farming methods outperform the use of chemical fertilizers in boosting food production where the hungry live -- especially in unfavorable environments.
Originally broadcast on the CBC Radio program, As It Happens (March 14, 2011), we've included visuals of the eco-agriculture work that USC Canada supports around the world.

In the eastern middle hills of Nepal, growing food requires the land, people, animals, and seeds working together. USC Canada's Seeds of Survival program has worked with farmers, the land, water and seeds in this part of Nepal for close to 20 years. The rivers dominate these communities; filling and flooding each year. They can bring great fertility to the soil or cover fields with a layer of boulders - ending agriculture forever on that space of land.
The rivers are powerful. It's not feasible to stop or contain them with cement and steel. But w hat does work is a series of steps with the river, soil, people, and animals all working, living, and learning together. This short film -- featuring just the voices of people living in these communities of Eastern Nepal and the staff of USC's partner, Parivartan Nepal -- shares the challenges and successes as well as the beauty of what has transpired in this riverbank rehabilitation.

Cette nouvelle «économie de biomasse » représente un marché de plusieurs trillions de dollars, mais ne nourrira pas les populations et aggravera les changements climatiques. Afin de débattre de cet Des paysans engagés décriront leurs réalités et proposeront des alternatives.
