                    [Summary] => There are signs that a quiet revolution in the world food systems is starting to occur. Some sustainable highlights: Brazilian farmers – numbering 223,000 using green manure and cover crops of legumes and livestock integration have doubled yields of maize and wheat to four to five tons per hectare; Guatemalan and Honduran farmers – numbering 45,000– have used regenerative technologies to triple maize yields to some 2-1.5 tons/ha and diversity their upland farms. This has encouraged re-emigration back from the cities.
