We are proud to present the publication of 'Barriers and Pathways',a research report from Ibon Foundation and our Filipino partners. This study, supported by the Flemish International Climate Action Programme, identifies the obstacles that are currently holding back agroecology and the opportunities for deploying this sustainable approach on a larger scale in response to the climate crisis.

Filipino farmers have been under severe pressure this year. The climate is becoming increasingly harsh: typhoons and floods are washing away harvests and threatening the income of entire families. At the same time, farmers who stand up for their rights are being intimidated and silenced. Violations of farmers' rights make agroecology almost impossible: without land security, without access to their own seeds and without the right to organise, farmers cannot build sustainable agriculture.

Our partner in the Philippines, the Center for Development Programs in the Cordillera (CDPC), recently turned up the flavor and the fun with the vibrant Gulay Pa More! (translated: More Vegetables!) event in Sagada — and what a celebration it was!
