The worsening climate crisis has spurred interests on technological solutions that promise to address the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere either by capturing and separating gases that are already emitted, or before they are emitted in industrial processes. These technologies are not designed to stop fossil fuel production and dependent industrial processes that […]
The urgency of addressing the climate crisis is unquestionably the main justification for the global push for technological fixes to reduce the concentration of greenhouse gases (GHG) in the atmosphere and to explore carbon sinks to serve as permanent storage for these gases that cause global warming. Serious concerns on the costs, safety, stability and […]
Scientific evidence indicates that chemical-intensive agriculture exacerbates climate change, contributes to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and depletes biodiversity, while also making our agricultural systems more vulnerable to the stresses brought on by the intersecting polycrises of climate, biodiversity and pollution. Read PAN International’s new factsheet containing case studies and policy recommendations, with the aim of […]
This article explores the importance of birds in India’s paddy ecosystems and how they contribute to biodiversity, ecological balance, and sustainable agriculture. Drawing from field observations and research, the article highlights the role of birds in natural pest control, seed dispersal, and maintaining healthy wetland ecosystems, while also examining the impacts of pesticide-intensive farming and […]
(Reprinted here with permission from the author.) PAKISTAN’S agriculture sector is both a victim and a driver of climate change. From floods in Sindh to prolonged dry spells in Balochistan, our farming communities are already living on the front lines of a changing climate. Yet, while farmers are paying the price for global warming, agriculture […]
Agroecology in Action Newsletter is a bi-monthly bulletin published by PAN Asia Pacific that highlights the grassroots work of International Peopleʼs Agroecology Movementsʼ (IPAM) field learning sites to promote agroecology as a sustainable approach to agriculture and food production and development, in the framework of food sovereignty, ecological and social justice.

(Reprinted here with permission from the author.) SOIL is our lifeline. It sustains life with a variety of foods, holds and filters water to provide us with clean and safe potable water and maintains ecological balance by storing carbon. But Pakistan has played havoc with its soils. We refused to accept that soil is much […]
