The Alliance for Food Sovereignty in Africa (AFSA) officially launches its new Policy Brief on #Agroecology as Africa’s Climate Solution at the Second Africa Climate Summit #ACS2 , hosted in Addis Ababa from 8–10 September 2025.

The brief presents AFSA’s strategic position that #agroecology is Africa’s holistic, people-centered pathway for adaptation, resilience, and mitigation in the face of escalating climate shocks. It calls on governments and the African Union to move beyond extractive, market-driven models and instead invest in farmer-led, community-driven solutions that strengthen sovereignty, biodiversity, and food security.

#Agroecology offers a proven alternative — restoring ecosystems, empowering women and youth, and embedding indigenous knowledge into climate strategies.

𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝗖𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘀 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗰𝘆 𝗕𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗳
👉🏿Integrate agroecology into NDCs and National Adaptation Plans.
👉🏿Implement the AU Climate Strategy (2022–2032) and Agenda 2063 with agroecology as a flagship approach.
👉🏿Redirect climate finance toward community-led transitions, ensuring direct access for farmers, women, and youth groups.
👉🏿Reaffirm agroecology in climate negotiations, making it central to Africa’s position toward COP30.

By championing #agroecology, AFSA urges #African leaders to seize the Second Africa Climate Summit #ACS2 as a turning point for a just, sovereign, and climate-resilient future.

🚨 In the fight for #FossilFreeFood, beware false solutions.

🧪‘Blue’ ammonia fertilizer = fossil gas
🧪‘Green’ ammonia = costly & energy-hungry
📲Digital ag = farmer surveillance & fossil-fuelled monoculture.

🌱There is another path: #Agroecology

Fun Fact Friday!
Fact:
This role of Namasole was either held by the Kabaka's biological mother or his ceremonial mother and was occupied once the Kabaka was announced by the senior nobles. She had the honor of a Kabaka, referred to as a Kabaka in her own right.
