GOVERNANCE NEWS & EVENTS RESOURCES EN Funding bodies, foundations Funding bodies, foundations GETTING INVOLVED WITH THE “4 PER 1000” INITIATIVE IN CONCRETE TERMS, HOW DO WE GET INVOLVED? THEY ALREADY GOT INVOLVED GETTING INVOLVED WITH THE “4 PER 1000” INITIATIVE Donors and private foundations are especially committed to: Set themselves an ambitious target for support for development projects that facilitate the dissemination and implementation of agricultural practices that lead to an increase and/or stabilization of levels of organic matter and to protect agricultural soils from degradation Finance training and awareness-raising projects, research and development projects or the establishment of soil carbon monitoring systems Support the development of tools that estimate the impact of agricultural development projects on soil carbon. Help the agriculture and forestry sectors contribute to the fight against climate change Combat land degradation while having a positive impact on food security. Storing carbon in soils means combating climate changes, increasing their fertility, their water retention capacity and thus potentially yields, reducing their susceptibility to erosion. This enables rural families, farmers to better live from their work on the land, to make better use of them by remaining sedentary, and thus limits migratory flows Regulate through public policies to accompany the carbon storage in soils over time, beyond the usual practice of a five-year plan, using another temporal scale (half a century or century for example) Invest for the future by supporting some practices, projects, and policies that promote carbon storage in soils with some multiple "win-win-win" goals Work for the opening of carbon markets to new sectors such as agriculture and agroforestry Identify some practices, projects and policies in search of finance under the framework of donor goals (development banks, foundations, etc.) IN CONCRETE TERMS, HOW DO WE GET INVOLVED?

"Parce que l’alimentation des troupeaux est constituée de 60 à 80% d’herbe des prairies, qui sont des puits de carbone de même que les haies qui les entourent, l’élevage français de ruminants, producteur de viande rouge, dépasse déjà l’objectif de 4pour1000 de stockage de carbone annuel dans les sols. Par sa démarche BEEF CARBON, l’évaluation des élevages et l’évolution des pratiques, notre filière s’engage à améliorer encore sa performance environnementale" - Dominique Langlois, Président d’INTERBEV "4 per 1000": Getting more from the land, for people and the planet" - Craig Hanson, Global Director (Food, Forests & Water) World Resources Institute - WRI.org "La restauration des sols par des pratiques agro-écologiques est indispensable à la transition vers des systèmes alimentaires durables et la lutte contre le changement climatique" - Fondation Daniel et Nina Carasso. "Sans élevage, l’agriculture serait déséquilibrée ! L’élevage laitier a une contribution positive sur les sols grâce à la valorisation des déjections animales. C’est le sens de notre adhésion à l’initiative 4/1000". "La Ferme Laitière Bas Carbone est un programme de réduction des émissions de gaz à effet de serre en élevage laitier. Il est basé sur un diagnostic qui permet à chaque éleveur de calculer son impact et de mettre en œuvre les leviers d’amélioration. Haies, prairies et effluents sont nos priorités" - Caroline Le Poultier, directrice générale du CNIEL "Les femmes et les hommes qui travaillent le sol sont les mieux placés pour utiliser et capturer le carbone sur Terre" - réseau TRAME "Engagé dans le 4 pour 1000 pour promouvoir bonnes pratiques et solutions méditerranéennes pour des sols sains et valorisés" - CIHEAM "We can reverse climate change by stripping CO2 out of the atmosphere and putting it into the soil where it is needed to improve soil health and crop production" - André Leu, President, IFOAM - Organics International "A comme Agriculteurs engagés et responsables ; C comme Carbone stocké ; F comme Fertilité des sols restaurée" - Agriculteurs Composteurs de France GO TO YOUR OWN RECEPTION AREA Govts and local authorities, International Org.
