#WorldFoodPrize¹ - How a Brazilian woman is changing #agriculture

Some quotes from the #article² - translated from #German via deepl.com:

"Brazil's agriculture does not have a good reputation: #deforestation, masses of pesticides and artificial fertilisers. Yet #Brazil is now also a leader in organic alternatives - thanks to Mariângela #Hungria."

"[She] ... researches [and implements] targeted biological alternatives to chemical fertilisers ... Half a century later, the Brazilian scientist is honoured with the World Food Prize³ ..."

The alternative is now widespread in Brazil:

"Today, such organic products are used on more than 40 million hectares in Brazil - that's an area more than twice the size of the entire agricultural area of #Germany ... farmers save up to 25 billion US dollars a year ... At the same time, more than 230 million tonnes of CO2-equivalent emissions are avoided each year.

Wie eine Brasilianerin die Landwirtschaft verändert
