With the birth of ECONTROVERTIA APS, the GreenMarked platform and Social Media Detox moved to a whole new level. Have a look at our accomplishments in 2022 and get your 2023 membership card!

Implemented by certified communities, Bolivian urban agroecology is a future-proof form of farming that can be scaled up to help achieve local food security and sovereignty in the country.

In the Chiquitanía (Bolivia), rivers, streams and lakes are disappearing because of water depleting and polluting farming practices at the expense of downstream local communities.

With Professor Dr. Fernando Silveira Franco, we discuss the development of agroecology in Brazil: the rise from the land, the spread across universities, the integration in national policies.

In 2018-2019, wildfires destroyed many forested areas of the Chiquitania, Bolivia. Connecting agroecology, forest conservation and restoration, GreenMarked and PROBIOMA-PROBIOTEC set up a plant nursery and started transferring new trees to the wild forest.

The high unemployment and the pandemic have led many Brazilians to a condition of food vulnerability. To tackle the hunger crisis, agroecological farmers like Ana Bovoy in São Paulo created a net of food distribution initiatives all over the country.

Two Bolivian college students tell us their experience in the agroecological farm of Santa Cruz de la Sierra supported by GreenMarked. Can agroecology help Bolivia achieve food security and reforest burned areas?

Two engaging stories about the role of Bolivian agroecology in promoting sustainable development among the young generations.

Our Agrecol Trees project in Bolivia is also a place for sharing authentic environmental stories. Read the story of Nelly: a farming community leader, a true land guardian and climate crisis fighter.

In 2021, many of our environmental ideas evolved into real projects. GreenMarked is not only an environmental blog and education platform! Here is a recap of our projects.

A tree planting activity in Trentino has taught secondary school students about extreme events, reforestation and the human impact on Alpine forests.

Even though it is still poorly known in Europe, agroecology can be further implemented with modern and traditional farming practices to improve Trentino’s water management.

A stakeholder analysis to launch our “Environmental Blogging Boost 4 Students” project to increase the spread of agroecological knowledge and know-hows in Trentino.

The referendum to establish a provincial organic district in Trentino was rejected but it shows that more than 65,000 Trentino citizens want a more sustainable type of agriculture.

Two days from referendum day, which political party has openly sided for and against the provincial organic district in Trentino?

Due to farming products, the Adige river and many water courses in Val di Non have recorded exceedances of the admissible contamination thresholds.

The high use of water-contaminating synthetic fertilizers and plant protection products, zero-biodiversity policy within the farmland are still the core values of the farming business in Trentino.

A vineyard or an apple orchard are not just agroindustrial areas to exploit for food production or the livelihood and profits of farmers. They are multifunctional agroecosystems that affect the quality of life and health local citizens.

Together with the Bolivian Foundation “AGRECOL Andes”, we kicked-off the "Native Carbon Tree” project to plant agroecological trees in the metropolitan area of Cochabamba.

2020 finally ended. It was an outstanding experience. Here's our 2020 GreenMarked year review.
