How can agroecology help African farmers adapt to climate change, reduce reliance on expensive farm inputs, and strengthen food security amid growing economic and climate pressures?

@MeshaScience #Agroecology #AdaptToThrive #FundOurFuture

[MESHA Science @MeshaScience]

🌱 Agroecology needs investment to thrive! From farmer training and research to local bio-inputs and fair markets, financing must help farmers transition sustainably.

Healthier soils, greater biodiversity and better moisture retention can help farmers withstand droughts and erratic rainfall. Agroecology offers a path to climate resilience.

🌱 Can agroecology be more profitable? Kenyan trial data presented by Bavon Christopher shows 53% higher long-term organic profitability where produce earned premium prices.

🌱 What if farming meant more than yields?

Bavon Christopher of ActionAid Tanzania explores how agroecology can nourish people and build resilient food systems.

🚩 Climate and debt crises hit women and girls hard, disrupting education, water access and essential services. Climate justice must address these inequalities.

"Women don't need to be invited into agriculture. They are already there. We need systems that let them capture more of the value they create." — Bella Kipruto wraps up her session at #MESHATraining.

[MESHA Science @MeshaScience]

Turning waste into opportunity
♻️ The Ustawi Model: Organic waste → Women waste collectors → Black Soldier Fly production → Insect protein & fertilizer → Farmers → Income & jobs. "Agriculture is not just farming. It's the entire value chain."
#WomenInAgri #MESHATraining

[MESHA Science @MeshaScience]

Real impact needs an ecosystem, not a single intervention.
Bella Kipruto breaks it down: Access → Skills → Production → Value Addition → Markets → Ownership & Scale.
Goal: move women from participants → producers → entrepreneurs → owners. #WomenInAgriculture #MESHA
