concluded the speech, stating: "#Farmers must have a voice in shaping decisions affecting them. Governments must support #Agricultural development & #innovation with financial schemes allowing farmers to make fair & effective investments to contribute to the transition."

"We should think together about how we work on and define regenerative #FoodSystems and make sure that there are real #sustainable #climate solutions.” - Lucy Wallace from

"When we talk about #Regenerative Agriculture, we are putting the emphasis on #Farmers to make that transition. This is not just # Farmers' responsibility. #FoodSystems are not just #Farmers', #FoodSystems are #food value chain, with a lot of people involved" 🗣️L.Wallace

🗣️K. Hussein (

): "By prioritising #inclusiveness, fostering partnerships, participation of #farmers & knowledge-sharing, we can overcome the challenges we are facing & create a future in which #technologies support the creation of better & more rewarding #FoodSystems".

🗣️A. Cataldo,

: "We need to strike the right balance between economic development & return and ecological stewardship biodiversity to find that balance between productivity and positive impacts to our #climate." #BonnClimateConference #SB58

“I would like to put an accent on the accessibility. We should give equal access to #regenerative practices & #technologies, along with the support to all #farmers & all the stakeholders in #agriculture.” 🗣️

"In conclusion, if we want to talk about #regenerativeagriculture we must know what it means to everybody, including the #faremrs and we must be sure that we are accountable for every new #sustainable practice that we are promoting out there" 🗣️

"#FarmersOrgs like

play a🔑role in promoting these practices. We act as a conduit for information, sharing best practices & innovations among our members. We also advocate for policies & resources that enable farmers to implement regenerative practices"

"We need to identify very simple metrics to measure it, something that can walk across every continent and that can make sense for every #farmer" -

🗣️"Let the research be led by the #farmers! Let's try to have farmers drive a whole process and set the metrics and outcomes we want to measure and achieve"

"#Regenerative #Agriculture for me is a systemic shift from what #farmees have been practising before, so we have barriers to take into account. Like financial barriers, access to markets, lack of information & also lack of confidence..." -

#WF

"We really need to take stock of what is already going on because most of the #farmers are already practising #Regenrerative #AG somehow. We also need to understand what does it mean for the farmers" 🗣️

from #WFOMember

"If we are going to measure #Regenerative #Agriculture, we must define it.And then let's have metrics for it, so we know how much we are putting into it." -

from #WFOMember

"We really have to define #Regenerative #Agriculture. There is a lot of misunderstanding about how this term is used." 🗣️

“Without action in the #FoodSystems, the #ParisAgreement cannot be achieved. Adapting #FoodSystems for future #Climate will be even more difficult.” 🗣️

"The different types of #Agriculture that respect our Earth, are all united by the practices. What is needed is less #emissions, conservation of the land & #biodiversity, and ensuring a fair share for #farmers"🗣️
