This one-size-fits-all industrial model of agriculture is being pursued at the expense of small-scale farmers who produce 70% of Africa’s food by using, in many cases, sustainable agriculture methods, also known as agroecology. Studies show that agroecology leads to increases in food productivity and yield which are comparable to, or better than, corporate-controlled agriculture. Agroecology also leads to better opportunities for women, increased income, employment, agricultural biodiversity, health and nutrition, as well as helping to mitigate the impacts of climate change.
