Explore whether Natural Farming can help build productive, resilient and sustainable food systems. It examines impacts on food security, yields, livelihoods and environmental sustainability, while assessing the opportunities and challenges of reducing external inputs and placing soil health, ecological processes and farmer knowledge at the centre o
How can we build food systems that are productive, resilient and sustainable in the face of climate change, biodiversity loss and growing pressures on farmers and natural resources?
This webinar explores the potential of Natural Farming as part of the response to global food insecurity. Drawing on research into Natural Farming in India, Sarah Duddigan will examine what happens when we rethink conventional approaches to agricultural productivity and place soil health, ecological processes and farmer knowledge at the heart of food production.
But can farming with fewer external inputs really contribute to food security? What does the evidence tell us about yields, livelihoods, resilience and environmental sustainability? And perhaps most importantly, what do we mean by “food security” in the first place?
Sarah will explore these questions through research on Natural Farming, considering both its opportunities and its challenges. If you are interested in the future of food, this webinar offers an accessible introduction to the evidence and ideas shaping the conversation around Natural Farming and food security.
Join us to ask: can we produce food differently — and still feed the world?
