« Solutions fondées sur la nature »

The document critiques the framing of 'nature-based solutions' (NbS) as compatible with agroecology, asserting that NbS are instead used by corporate and financial interests to maintain industrial agriculture and create speculative assets. It contrasts agroecology's holistic, emancipatory approach with the NbS model, which focuses on carbon sequestration to justify 'net zero' distractions and the continued use of fossil fuels and synthetic inputs. The text highlights how NbS can lead to land grabs and the marginalization of small-scale producers, opposing the goals of land reform and food sovereignty.

• Corporate and financial actors promote 'nature-based solutions' as a path to sustainability, but the document claims this is a way to instrumentalize agroecology and food sovereignty while ignoring ecological, social, and economic justice.
• The 'nature-based solutions' approach promotes specific regenerative practices—such as no-till farming and digital technologies—that are compatible with industrial agriculture and the interests of the pesticide and biotechnology industries.
• The financial sector and agribusiness view 'nature-based solutions' as a means to create new revenue streams and speculative assets, contributing to a fourfold increase in the value of 'voluntary carbon markets' between 2020 and 2021.
• The document asserts that 'nature-based solutions' conflict with land reform and the rights of small producers, particularly in the Global South, and serve as a tool for selling carbon credits to avoid genuine emission reductions.
