Agroecology is a transformative approach to food systems. This how to paper by GIZ presents a theoretical basis and concrete case study examples on how agroecology can be leveraged to create...
In Ecuador’s Intag Valley, the women’s artisan collective Mujer y Medio Ambiente (Women and the Environment) has developed an innovative way to dye and stitch fibers from the cabuya plant,...
Agroecological production methods strengthen farmers’ autonomy and adaptive capacity. When expanding agroecological systems, greater societal benefits depend on closer relationships between producers and consumers. Connecting producers to more equitable and...
This follow-up study conducted by Impaxio as mandated by Biovision presents the main results, two years after baseline, on 1) decision-makers attitudes, preferences, and actions on agroecological policies and funding, and...
There is real momentum in Eastern and Southern Africa to develop National Agroecology Strategies (NAS) and policies to support agroecological transitions in these regions. These strategies have the potential to...
Since the earliest origins of agriculture, farmers and cultivated plants (or crops) have rightly been credited with securing copious food supplies and enabling the rise of complex societies. From Mesopotamia...
Nowadays, a new wave of ‘modernisation’ is challenging agriculture. The digitalisation of our world is ongoing and delivers promises - but also many concerns. How could agroecology cope with this...
Diverse, localized, farmer managed seed systems are the cornerstone of a biodiverse, climate-resilient, equitable food system—and essential to achieving zero hunger. However, somewhere along the way in the “modernization” of...
Agriculture impacts and is affected by climate change. Many current agricultural practices rely heavily on industrial methods such as monocropping, overreliance on synthetic fertilizers, and harmful use of antibiotics to maximize...
Les résultats observés dans la vallée du M'Zab valident l'équation du risque (Risque = Aléa × Exposition × Vulnérabilité) en démontrant comment l'agroécologie permet de réduire la vulnérabilité des systèmes agricoles face aux sécheresses. Cette réduction...
What could an agroecological future look like, if agroecology went to scale?
What would be the implications - on economic growth, and social inequalities? Or on employment? And what would landscapes...
Perú, un país que ha albergado antiguas civilizaciones como los Incas y los Moches y una de las cadenas montañosas más importantes del mundo, los Andes, ha sido desde tiempos...
Alongside butterflies, bats, beetles, some mammals and birds, bees are the tireless workers that sustain the crops and wild plants that feed us, protect biodiversity, and keep our agrifood systems...
Knowledge co-creation is a central principle in agroecology and agroecological transitions. Researchers and practitioners engaging in actions to support and enhance biodiversity, maximise use of local resources, improve livelihoods, strengthen...
TAPE is being used to establish a baseline on the status of agroecological transitions for a GEF project aiming at improving resilience, productivity and sustainability of crops and animal husbandry in the region.
This article highlights the urgent need for national and international policy regimes to align with scientific findings on the links between biodiversity, climate change, agriculture, and food systems. While the...
This publication is timely given the emerging debate around the relationship between agroecology and regenerative agriculture. Can a focus on maintaining soil health, which is the foundation of regenerative approaches,...
Sara’s childhood was full of sunshine. She remembers herself in farming fields under the sun, in the dry valleys of Bolivia. Many seasons had lacked rain which dried the soil...
Mongolia is located in Central Asia in between Russia and China. Only 1% of the arable land in Mongolia is cultivated with crops. The agriculture sector therefore remains heavily focused...
