movilizar resistir transformar ‘Soluciones basadas en la naturaleza’

The fact sheet critiques the trend of presenting agroecology as a subset of 'nature-based solutions' (NbS), asserting that this framing serves the interests of fossil fuel companies, agribusiness, and the financial sector. It argues that while agroecology seeks systemic change and social justice, NbS focuses narrowly on carbon capture to create new financial assets and 'green' credentials for industrial actors. The document highlights the incompatibility between the emancipatory goals of agroecology and the market-driven approach of NbS, which it claims facilitates land displacement and the continuation of destructive business models.

• Corporate entities, including fossil fuel companies, agribusiness, and the World Economic Forum, are promoting 'nature-based solutions' (NbS) to co-opt agroecology and prioritize carbon capture over broader goals of environmental, social, and economic justice.
• The use of NbS allows the industrial agricultural sector to promote 'regenerative agriculture' through specific practices—such as no-till farming and digital technologies—that maintain corporate control and the use of pesticides and biotechnology rather than implementing systemic change.
• The financial sector and agribusiness view NbS as a means to generate new revenue streams and financial assets for speculation, contributing to a fourfold increase in the value of voluntary carbon markets between 2020 and 2021.
• There is a fundamental conflict between NbS and agroecology: NbS is characterized as a tool for 'net zero' distractions and corporate profit that has historically led to community displacement, whereas agroecology advocates for land redistribution and a reduction in fossil fuel inputs.
