Agriculture is crucial for many African economies. However, current agriculture and food systems face challenges due to climate change and non-climatic stresses. To address these issues, increasing resilience of food systems and ecosystems is essential, and an agroecological transition towards sustainable agri-food systems is considered a central task for the future.

The Agroecology Leadership Academy aims to bring together a diverse group of people from different backgrounds and skills, also representing gender and youth, with a high level of engagement and willingness to influence and advance agroecological transition processes.

The Agroecology Leadership Academy will take place as a Learning Journey over eleven months from January to November 2024.
