The East African Legislative Assembly (EALA) and the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) signed a resolution recognizing agroecology as a strategic priority for sustainable agriculture, tourism, and natural resource policies in East Africa.

This resolution, adopted during a workshop in Kampala, Uganda, emphasizes addressing challenges in agrifood systems by promoting sustainable practices. EALA seeks FAO's support for developing regional legal frameworks and raising awareness among policymakers. The initiative aims to enhance food security, protect the environment, and end hunger by 2030.
