The biodiversity of plants, animals, and microorganisms is key to providing the stability and balance needed to create resilient agroecosystems to address climate change. The same food and agricultural systems that conserve and regenerate biodiversity also mitigate global warming and contribute to good health and increased livelihoods through living and regenerative economies. Agroecology is based on a wide range of principles and includes several methods to work in harmony with nature and regenerate biodiversity through living seeds and soils, local food communities, without using chemicals derived from fossil fuels. Agroecological systems are designed to mimic natural processes and regenerate biodiversity in order...

Climate challenges impact health issues like asthma, cardiovascular disease and stroke. 1. Food. Buying food locally will support your area and its workers and decrease costs and environmental impacts of production, processing, packaging and transportation. Meat production destroys our environment by using massive amounts of water, polluting the air, emitting greenhouse gases and pulverizing natural wild habitats. Seafood should be...
