As founder of the educational platform Youthtopia, Melati Wijsen has been empowering people to create positive change ever since she was 12 years old. Now she invites us all to join her.
Change Drivers Season 2: Episode 4 is currently on-air on Discovery Channel as well as TLC, Food Network, Travel Channel, Animal Planet and more.
This 3 part mini-series exposes how deliberate fires are devastating ecosystems, harming public health, and exacerbating the global climate crisis.
Brazil's agricultural support system reveals a troubling inequity: large agribusinesses receive the majority of government resources and assistance, while smallholder farmers receive minimal support. Worsening this imbalance, fires—often ignited by medium and large farms—cause severe damage to the land, climate, and surrounding communities.
In this episode, we meet Mr. Nene, a smallholder farmer who has adopted agroecological practices. Despite family farmers like Mr. Nene comprising 75% of Brazil’s rural establishments, only 15% of them can access government-backed credit, while 84% goes to large agribusinesses, according to Plano Safra.
Mr. Nene demonstrates that sustainable food production is possible without degrading the land. It’s time to redirect financial support to those safeguarding the Amazon and other natural areas.
