With a growing global population, the demand for food is surging, especially in Africa. However, our conventional agricultural practices are facing planetary boundaries due to climate change and biodiversity loss.

Enter agroecology, a transformative approach based on 13 principles, offering resilient, productive, and equitable agri-food systems. Agroecology provides solutions to address these pressing challenges, benefiting individual farmers and entire societies.

Beyond sustenance, agroecology contributes greatly to sustainability in land use, consumption, and nutrition through a multiple-benefit strategy. It creates a strong foundation for job growth and improved working conditions, leading to better income and an enhanced quality of life, particularly in rural areas for women and young people. By fostering local markets and circular economies, agroecology generates additional income opportunities and supports sustainable rural development while mitigating the rural exodus.
