The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations launched the GIAHS (Globally Important Agriculture Heritage Systems) initiative in 2002. It seeks to identify, conserve, and manage the world's best agricultural biodiversity knowledge systems, food and livelihood security, and cultures.
In an era where climate change, water conservation, and soil rejuvenation are crucial topics, the intensive and highly-productive Chinampas in Mexico serve as exemplary models for resilient agricultural systems.
Like these heritage sites, our entire planet has the potential to flourish. Mother nature has her way of resetting biodiversity, provided we bring in the correct measures to #SaveSoil. It is time to urge your leaders to enact soil-friendly policies that will act as a stepping stone in regenerating the soil.
Your voice is your strength. Action now.
