This Nature Food Perspective proposes six interconnected leverage points for agroecological transformation, emphasizing systems thinking, biodiversity-based agricultural design, multifunctionality, knowledge co-creation, One Health and stronger integration of social sciences
A reflection on competing definitions of agroecology and sustainable farming, and why food-system policies need to account for context and multiple pathways.
An assessment of NDCs 3.0 finds stronger integration of agrifood systems, but major gaps remain on agroecology, food loss and waste, diets, nutrition and inclusive governance.
Desertification is the slow degradation of fertile land – a process that affects 40 percent of the Earth's land surface and leaves around 100 million hectares of healthy land unproductive every year. As governments gather in Mongolia this week for the UN's Cop17 desertification summit, scientists say restoring soil health is becoming critical for food security, livelihoods and climate resilience.
A stronger El Niño could test food systems in vulnerable regions. A new GEOGLAM Crop Monitor report shows where crop risks may rise, and why early action, agricultural intelligence and targeted support for smallholder farmers matter now.
Drawing on examples from north-western Ghana, this paper explores how the adverse effects of such predictions are mitigated through knowledge co-creation between smallholder farmers and agro-technocrats.
Assessment of 154 households in Barbardiya, Nepal, examines climate risks, agroecological practices and priorities for strengthening food-system resilience
Research in Saida, Lebanon, examines pressures on small farmers, food security and the economic, social and technical barriers to agroecological transition
Evidence from Africa shows how biological control and agroecological approaches can reduce pesticide dependence while supporting resilient farming systems
Siete ensayos vinculan agroecología, biodiversidad y justicia cognitiva, destacando saberes diversos para construir sistemas alimentarios más equitativos
