The collection of case studies of the Alliance for Food Sovereignty in Africa (AFSA) show how agroecology benefits Africa in terms of food security, nutrition, poverty reduction, climate change adaptation and mitigation, biodiversity conservation, cultural sensitivity, democracy, and value for money.

Agroecology works in harmony with nature. It builds on traditional agricultural practices using research, technology, and indigenous knowledge while ensuring that farmers control all aspects of food production. With agroecology, African farmers produce abundant healthy food sustainably.
