Of all the casualties of the unholy post-war alliance between the Nigerian military state and big oil, the Ogoni people were arguably amongst the worst hit. With the full blessing of the Nigerian government, the Royal Dutch Shell oil company was authorised to explore and extract oil from Ogoniland. While this was a win-win deal for Nigeria’s military generals and the oil giant, Shell’s entry into the region quickly became nothing short of a living nightmare for the Ogoni people.
Having grown sick and tired of the military government’s complicity in the devastation of his ancestral land, Ken Saro-Wiwa spearheaded the creation of a pressure group known as the Movement for the Survival of the Ogoni People (popularly known as MOSOP). This is the story of the most prominent martyr in the fight against big oil in Nigeria.

This video summarizes the study "The potential of agroecology to build climate change resilient livelihoods and food systems" which highlights the links between agroecology and climate change, by providing evidence on the technical (i.e. ecological and socio-economic) and policy potential of agroecology to build resilient food systems. The report aims to answer the following question:
How can agroecology foster climate change adaptation, mitigation and resilience through practices and policies?
Inspired by the idea that transformation will only happen through a coordinated approach among all levels, this study aims to combine evidence from a broad range of backgrounds and perspectives.
The study was conducted by Biovision Foundation and the UN Food and Agriculture Organisation FAO.

The video outlines three case studies of farmers utilizing agroecological practices in their farming systems. It focuses on complex adaptive rice systems in the Easter part of the island of Java, Indonesia; on a large-scale farm in the Netherlands applying sustainable soil management practices; and on social aspects of agroecology as a movement in Brazil.

Organic agriculture has developed in response to the great changes in agricultural practices globally during the last century. The genesis for an increasingly industrialized agricultural production was farm mechanization, synthetic production of ammonium nitrate as fertilizer, and the introduction of DDT as one of the first insecticides. The development of Genetic Modified Organisms further intensified production.

Compassion in World Farming webinar and Q&A exploring the links between farmed animals and zoonotic diseases with Global CEO, Philip Lymbery and Chief Policy Advisor, Peter Stevenson. Compassion’s mission to end factory farming and transform our outdated food system is as relevant as ever and an important bio-security strategy to protect animals and people from zoonotic diseases. In response to the pandemic, we are calling on the world’s most influential organisations, including The World Bank, the United Nations and the World Health Organisation, to agree to replace factory farming with a food system that respects animals, nurtures our planet, and reduces the risk of pandemics. We urge you to add your voice for a future without factory farming by signing the petition https://bit.ly/2XNO0Xm. If you can, we would also be grateful if you could please make a donation to help protect farm animal welfare and secure an alternative food system for a better future for all. https://bit.ly/3dQAqIo
