The agroecological innovations reported here can be grouped under the broad heading of System of Crop Intensi cation (SCI).1 This approach seeks not just to get more output from a given amount of inputs, a long-standing and universal goal, but aims to achieve higher output with less use of or...

Applying a resilience lens to food system analysis and programming requires that we pay particular attention to understanding the ways shocks, stressors and even program interventions that impact one part of the food system can have additional impacts or unintended consequences on other system components, and potentially, the entire system....

Given the sheer number of people involved and the diverse geographies represented, AGree collected dozens of recommendations for supporting and strengthening local food systems. Using a national policy lens, we worked to develop recommendations that are universal in their application (e.g., less place-specific) given the national focus of AGree. Through...

The paper contains 12 different case studies and chapters on agroecology; other sustainable farming methods;  agroecology and resilience to climatic changes; evidence of the food security potential of agroecological systems; the scaling up of agroecological innovations, with challenges and opportunities; the approaches that can be used for scaling up agroecology...

The phenomenon of climate change poses a serious threat to agricultural production and, therefore, to the lives and livelihoods of the hundreds of millions who are dependent on agriculture. Adaptation to the increased variability in weather patterns requires the adoption of ecological farming practices which are climate-resilient as well as...
