#ClimateChangeGardening: 12 strategies for a #resilient #garden

by Niki Jabbour

"#ClimateChange gardening is a set of tactics that make our yards and gardens more resilient to extreme weather as well as reduce our personal impacts on the climate. There are several ways to approach climate change gardening. You can use sustainable and organic gardening practices that put soil, #biodiversity, and #pollinators first. You can also plan to reduce plastic waste, up-cycle materials, and collect #rainwater.

3 reasons to care about climate change gardening

"Climate change gardening influences the health and success of your garden. When you nurture your soil, foster biodiversity, and support pollinators you create a garden that is more resilient to the challenges of climate change. Here are 3 reasons to care about climate change gardening.

- Extreme weather – The impact of weather related challenges like droughts, storms, precipitation, flooding, and above or below normal temperatures can be reduced with climate change gardening strategies.
- Pollinators, birds, and beneficial insects – Climate change can affect pollinators and birds in various ways. Weather extremes can impact migration timing and success, host plant growth and bloom time, disease and pest issues, and habitat and food supply.
- Non-native invasive pests and plants – With a longer growing season, invasive plants, pests, and diseases will move north and potentially affect plant health and crop yields."

“What #sacrifices are we willing to make to support our #values? How can we maintain long-term pressure without burning out or reverting to old #shopping habits and items? How do we do this without blaming those who can’t #participate?

Perhaps most importantly, how can we #collectively #build a more self-reliant and #resilient #economy that aligns with our principles and stands strong against external #threats?”

#Agroecology offers blueprint for #resilient farming in northern #Ghana

by Caleb Ahinakwah, 5 Dec 2024

Excerpt: "Alley cropping in practice: Healing the land

"As climatic conditions worsen, farmers in the region are turning to agroforestry techniques. One approach that has taken root, literally, in the Builsa area is alley cropping, which integrates trees with traditional farming practices. Tree Aid, an international nonprofit that works on forest and land restoration projects in Ghana and elsewhere, introduced this technique to farmers in the region in 2014. Farmers have planted rows of trees such as shea, baobab and moringa 12 meters (39 feet) apart, and continued to grow crops like millet, cowpeas and groundnuts beneath them.

"Yakubu Issah began planting baobab and shea trees on his farm five years ago. 'At first, it seemed like extra work with little reward. But now, our millet grows healthier, the soil holds water longer, and we even earn extra income by selling baobab leaves,' he said.

"He added that bees have returned, along with birds and squirrels: 'The farm feels alive again."'

My favourite #beaches in the whole world #siestakey and #lidokey just took a direct hit. Maybe their first recorded.
My grandfather’s orange grove 60 miles Sw was in standing water 5hours before landfall. My brother owns and operates now. #Resilient policy = preparing designing as if these events could happen. Not betting everyone else’s house and life they won’t. #climatechange #flawridah #hurricane #milton

What are #Welsh #government plans for #resilient #FoodSystems?

It’s a #NatureEmergency. What’s required is a mosaic of habitat & low-impact food production, not industrial monocultures driven by profit.

A #WoodMeadow is 1 approach to #resilient & #sustainable land management providing wealth of #biodiversity.

This is Ty Canol #WoodPasture in #SirGar #Pembrokeshire. Just look at the diversity of #lichen, #moss, #trees & #habitat

Resilience Linked to Healthier Brain and Gut

his study is the first to explore the connection between resilience, brain activity, and gut health. The findings suggest potential new treatments targeting both the brain and the gut to reduce stress and prevent disease.

Key Facts:

Improved Brain Function: Resilient people exhibit better cognition and emotional regulation.
Healthy Gut Microbiome: Resilient individuals have gut microbiomes with lower inflammation and stronger gut barriers.
Holistic Health: The study underscores resilience as a whole-body phenomenon affecting both brain and gut health.

Introduction:

#Artist and #enthusiast interested in the #political #economy of #art. I’ve engaged with the #technologies of #exhibition to work critically with #museums. #galleries, #art #schools, #archives and #auction houses.

Currently I'm #learning to live with less and experimenting with how to #consume fewer #resources. To be more #resilient.

I'm trying to be conscious of what makes life #joyful, but not at the expense of #others.

#introduction

Hello Boston folks. I like #nature observation, #LocalFood, #ContainerGardening, making #crafts, and building #community. I'm think a lot about #resilience and how we can be more #resilient, both as individuals and as communities.

I teach courses in #GIS and #FoodSystems at Tufts University.

I'm also yet another #bicycle enthusiast and #BikeCommuter : )

Wondering who here is from my Twitter world …. I’m a #climate #activist and #community #organiser. Living in the #BlueMountains. Just joined #Bushfire #Survivors for #ClimareAction as ceo.

Also co-founder of #resilient Blue Mountains #resilience.
