As a mode of production and an agricultural system that utilizes land and natural resources in a fundamentally different way than industrial agriculture, agroforestry is a key example of agroecology in practice and represents an important solution for the transformation of food systems. On 25 April 2022, FAO's Forestry and...

Is the adoption of technologies in the farming community only linked to their socio-economic performance? Upstream identification of adoption constraints with potential beneficiaries is necessary to remove them and promote technology adoption. What are the constraints to adopting systematic integration of crops, trees/shrubs and livestock?

A major programme of irrigated rice extension in the Middle Senegal River Valley has further limited the river’s natural flooding in the floodplain (Waalo), initially reduced by drought. We conducted a transdisciplinary (TD) and gendered study in the region to explore links between agricultural biodiversity and family diets using a...

Today, major changes are required in global agricultural systems to produce enough healthy food for all, while preserving the quality of land, air and water and safeguarding biodiversity. But producing enough while simultaneously protecting the environment is a particularly complex equation. Agroecology, a key principle of which is the use...

Regenerative agriculture describes holistic farming systems that, among other benefits, improve water and air quality, enhance ecosystem biodiversity, produce nutrient-dense food, and store carbon to help mitigate the effects of climate change. These farm systems are designed to work in harmony with nature, while also maintaining and improving economic viability.

The project will help grass-roots rural women in Tajikistan, Turkey and Uzbekistan, gain knowledge and skills to improve their economic status, start businesses and cooperatives, while empowering them to become agents of change in their communities. The project will also contribute to the creation of an enabling environment for rural...

A medida que la agroecología se ha incluido cada vez más en el diálogo internacional sobre el futuro de la alimentación y la agricultura, ha habido llamados para producir las evidencias de su desempeño en las múltiples dimensiones de la sostenibilidad y de su capacidad para lograr múltiples ODS. En...

SustainSahel scientists at the UNB - Nazi BONI University found the populations of soil macrofauna communities increase with the density of Piliostigma reticulatum.

Costantino is one of the farmers in the Operational Group SISCCCA. The project develops sustainable integrated systems to control the brown marmorated stink bug.

Food trees contribute substantially to the food and nutrition security of millions of rural households in Africa. Farming communities prioritize tree and shrub species on farms based on a combination of factors, including their knowledge of potential uses the species' economic potential and a range of constraints and opportunities that...

The Food System Profile provides a summary of the main food system issues in Bhutan and highlights potential solutions for their sustainable and inclusive transformation. The result of a systemic analysis and stakeholders consultation, it is part of a large-scale assessment supported by the European Union, FAO and CIRAD in...

The invasion of Ukraine by Russia has sparked a debate on food security in Europe. Three months later, the fear of food shortages is still used as a pretext to question environmental goals of the CAP and the Green Deal more broadly. The Commission is also pressuring Slovakia, Hungary and India who decided to...

As agroecology has increasingly been brought into the international dialogue on the future of food and agriculture, there have been calls for building the evidence base of its performance across the multiple dimensions of sustainability and its capacity to achieve multiple SDGs. In response to this need, FAO coordinated the...

First results from BIOFUNCTOOL clearly highlight a strong potential for trees and shrubs to enhance carbon dynamics in soils.

To promote greater sustainability in agriculture, development of agroecology is increasingly being invoked. What are the conditions for establishing agroecological production in tropical regions? Based upon case studies in several tropical areas, we provide here some answers to this question. We review the “pillars” (i.e. principles) and the “implementation levers”...
