DCA works to promote Agroecology in all our Right to Food activities because Agroecology is a climate-friendly way to build sustainability and resilience as well as increasing food production. The components of Agroecology help us form strong links between our rights-based approach; farmers’ participation, organisation and empowerment; fair and sustainable agriculture and other production types; and support resilience building at individual, community and national levels. Agroecology is a set of principles that help strengthen the links between development and humanitarian activities by promoting diversity, reducing risks and engaging farmers and other producers in knowledge sharing and political decision-making. DCA works to help communities make informed choices and sustainable decisions about production methods. We support them in standing up to the pressure from chemical companies - and in some cases also governments - that promote simple solutions to the complex issues of sustainable food production, fair trade systems and long-term resilience.
