Ecologisch ontwerpen voor onze toekomstakkernaarbos
This document discusses sustainable agricultural production and agroecology. It begins by outlining the intensification discourse around needing to double food production by 2050 to feed a growing population. However, it argues this narrative is false and advocates for local solutions to the global food security problem. The document then discusses various agroecological practices and systems that can support sustainable intensification, including crop-livestock integration, agroforestry, and landscape-level approaches to biodiversity conservation and ecosystem service provision. It emphasizes co-creating knowledge with farmers and a transition towards more sustainable food systems.
Keynote speech by Mark Shepard on november 24, 2015 in Wageningen University, The Netherlands and on the Van Akker naar Bos (from Field to Forest) conference on november 28 2015
Revenue and financing models for ecological farmersakkernaarbos
This document discusses various revenue and financing models for ecological farms. It begins by introducing the speaker and stating that the afternoon will focus on inspirational models for revenue and financing. It then contrasts traditional annual crop farming with ecological polyculture farming, noting that the latter has smaller diverse harvests that are more difficult to sell and calculate income from. The rest of the document proposes several ideas for marketing ecological farm produce, including selling to local shops and farms, providing care services using the health benefits of nature, partnering with nature organizations, offering workspaces, creating experiences for customers, selling online, forming collectives, using local currencies, and cooperating and crowdfunding. It concludes by having participants brainstorm a plan to increase revenue
