Hojas informativas: Las ‘soluciones basadas en la naturaleza’ y la agricultura de conservación y restitución del carbono del suelo

This fact sheet by Friends of the Earth International critiques 'Nature-based Solutions' (NbS) and soil carbon markets, arguing that these concepts are tools for corporate co-optation of environmental and food policies rather than viable solutions for climate change, biodiversity loss, or hunger.

• Nature-based Solutions (NbS) are described as an ambiguous concept used by large corporations to mask their lack of commitment to ending fossil fuel combustion or altering their core business models, despite over 1,500 companies pledging net-zero emissions.
• There is a trend since 2020, highlighted during the 2021 United Nations Food Systems Summit, to frame agroecology as a type of Nature-based Solution. The document argues that NbS and agroecology are opposites, as agroecology is a movement to transform the food system and ensure the right to food, rather than just an agricultural practice.
• Industrial agricultural practices have resulted in the loss of more than half of the organic matter in the world's agricultural soils. This degradation has led large companies to seek new subsidies and revenue through conservation agriculture and soil carbon sequestration markets, which the document suggests pose risks to small-scale farmers.
