20 April - 20 May 2022 | Join the virtual discussion HERE

The FAO Family Farming & Agroecology Community of Practice in Africa is implementing a discussion on ''The co-creation, sharing and dissemination of local innovations for healthy soils in Africa'', co-organized by key actors working for the promotion of family farming and agroecology in different regions and on different scales in Africa. 

Through a moderated, structured, purpose-driven, and open access online discussion, this initiative aims to create an inclusive space for sharing knowledge, experiences and lessons learnt; establishing synergies, connecting existing organizations and networks, and encouraging proactive multi-stakeholder exchanges to enhance the community of practitioners on family farming and agroecology in Africa.

The discussion will be open from the 20 of April to the 20 of May. A background paper explains the theme of the discussion and highlights key questions to be considered.

Participants wishing to contribute to the discussion will post via email their contributions at [email protected].
