The natural forest in southwest Ethiopia is progressively modified to coffee agroforest. To this effect forest composition and diversity is simplified to local preferred coffee shade trees. Woody plant species that are less managed require the conservation priority in coffee agroforest. The study aims at assessing diversity of plant species, investigating...

Comment accompagner l’engagement des territoires dans une trajectoire de développement agroécologique conciliant résilience hydrique, sécurité alimentaire et qualité nutritionnelle? Coordonné par le Cirad et INRAE, le projet MAHDIA vise à articuler les enjeux agricoles, alimentaires, environnementaux et de santé des régions de Meknès au Maroc, Kairouan en Tunisie et Fatick...

Many countries have integrated agroforestry into their sustainable development policies, particularly in Southeast Asia. In Timor-Leste, the national strategy to promote agroforestry has adopted a modern, technique-oriented approach focused on crop rotation, intercropping, and agro-silvo-pasture. In so doing, it has largely overlooked the pre-existence, diversity, and performance of traditional agroforestry systems...

This study aimed to examine the correlations between the agroecological status of farms and their viability in agro-sylvo-pastoralsystems located in the savannah areas of West Africa. The methodology is based on farm surveys (to assess agroecological farmstatus) and on farmers’ focus group discussions (to assess viabilityat the farm level).

In pursuing agroecological urbanism – a strategic endeavor to dismantle disempowering structures within urban food systems through cultivating mutual interdependencies – alternative food networks (AFNs) emerge as pivotal catalysts for transformative change. This study explores impediments to organizing AFNs into transformative networks, drawing insights from two diverse urban contexts – Preston,...
