Agroecology plus six (AE+6)
More than 12 million small-scale farmers and their families in the risk-prone, dryland areas of the Western Sahel have become chronically vulnerable to food and nutrition insecurity. This growing crisis is due to a constellation of factors, including the collapse of soil fertility and climate change. Agroecology Plus Six (AE+6) is a low cost, systems-approach of agroecology and resilience strategies, which can spread and be adapted to meet the needs of millions of smallholder farming families.
