What ActionAid is proposing is more to do with introducing new ways of thinking, rather than distributing ready-made solutions. The starting point of our proposal is to design local alternatives that are based on the knowledge and practices of the communities themselves. Although they are not a panacea to all problems, they contain key insights that—when appropriately combined with scientific knowledge and modern technology—can help us design and promote local food production systems that are more adapted to climate change and in tune with local contexts and needs.
