[ES ⬇️] The Global Forest Coalition, along with partners from World Animal Protection, the  Center for Biological Diversity, Brighter Green, and the Aquatic Life Institute, have launched a new White Paper as part of a coordinated effort for a just transition from industrial animal production to equitable, humane and sustainable food systems. The paper unites various civil society organisations (CSOs) dedicated to transforming the food system behind a common vision of an equitable, humane and sustainable food system and agreed pathways for food system transformation to build a global movement for change to end the industrial agriculture model and shift towards agroecology and humane food systems. 🔗 Full paper available here: https://lnkd.in/gH8RKTC7 [ES] La Coalición Mundial por los Bosques, junto con Protección Animal Industrial, Center for Biological Diversity, Brighter Green, y Aquatic Life Institute, lanzó un documento técnico sobre cómo lograr una transición justa desde la ganadería industria hacia un sistema alimentario, equitativo, humanitario y sustentable.

🌱 Originally published by Women Engage for a Common Future (WECF) ✨ WECF's recent workshop with GFC and other Green Livelihoods Alliance (GLA) participants was held alongside international biodiversity negotiations recently. 🌿 "Particularly in these times of polycrisis – social, environmental, political and more – it is vitally important that civil society actors worldwide, especially feminist and women’s movements, keep seeking each other out and building strong and connected movements. It is equally important that funders – sometimes more interested in results – respect and resource these moments of connection as an integral part of the work we do." ❓Want to know more? 🔗 Full reflections at link: https://lnkd.in/e74KYVw9 Image from WECF International: "One of the collages representing visions for alternative, just futures."
