#Diversity is the foundation of #resilience. Industrial high input monoculture farming exacerbates the #ClimateCrisis and weakens fragile food systems. #Agroecology4Climate #EarthDay2020 #Agroecology4Zambia

#Agroecology supports on-farm recycling of nutrient which feeds the soil.

Happy #EarthDay2020!

#Agroecology offers a systemic solution to a systemic crisis. It reduces our dependence on fossil fuels, produces healthy food without costing the earth, and provides a sustainable solution for climate change adaptation and mitigation. #Agroecology4Climate

[ZAAB @ZAAB_org]

The #ClimateCrisis calls for an urgent action to make agriculture more productive, sustainable, & resilient. #Agroecology is the best solution to climate-resilient farming practice. It helps rural communities become more resilient to drought #Agroecology4Climate #EarthDay2020

#Agroecology expands the roles, livelihoods and income generating opportunities of different members of the smallholder family, optimizing their ability to adapt to climate change.

“In summary, increasing the resilience of the food system through agroecology and diversification is an effective way to achieve climate change adaptation (robust evidence, high agreement)”

#Agroecology rejects the corporate prescription of false solutions to food insecurity & climate change. It is about harnessing ecological processes of nature for healthy and sustainable food systems free of #GMO & #Agrochemicals. #Agroecology4Climate #EarthDay2020 #EarthDayAfrica

[Million Belay @Million_Belay]

Yes. Agroecology is about diverse foods and diverse way of relating to food. This brings health and nutrition. This is what brings resilience is. #Agroecology4Climate #EarthDay2020 #EarthDayAfrica

"Agroecology centers on food production that makes the best use of nature’s goods and services while not damaging these resources.”

#Agroecology works to empower #women who have an indispensable role in food production and ensuring diverse, nutritious diets for healthy families.

Where industrial agriculture pollutes and degrades, agroecology regenerates and restores.

#Agroecology works with nature - not against nature.

#Agroecology is best known as an application of ecological processes to develop environmentally, economically, and socially sustainable agricultural practices and food systems. The Industrial food system is the root of the disorder.

[AFSA @Afsafrica]

#Agroecology offers a sustainable and productive agricultural system that prioritizes the economic, social, and nutritional needs of farmers & consumers. Industrial agriculture instead prioritizes profit and corporate control.

#Agroecology4Climate #EarthDay2020

[AFSA @Afsafrica]

Our heartfelt thanks is in order to all who campaigned with us on #EarthDay2020 to establish the case of agroecology as an African led solution to climate action.

Agroecology feeds the world.
Agroecology Cools the Planet.
Agroecology Respects the Earth.

#Agroecology4Climate

[AFSA @Afsafrica]

At the core of #agroecology lie the principles of care and conservation for environment, biodiversity and natural resources. At the heart of industrial agriculture lies the drive for profit and control.

There is no sustainable food system without the youth. Scaling up agroecology can address youth unemployment and halt degradation. #Agroecology4Climate #EarthDay2020 @FAOUganda @FAOUganda @pelum_uganda @BiovisionAfrica @FRAUGANDA @AdemAndrew @futureoffoodorg @AgriProFocusUG

#Agroecology is a movement for ecologically viable farming practices & sustainable food systems. It is the urgently needed alternative to fossil fuel agriculture that is the major driver of the climate crisis & biodiversity loss in the world. #Agroecology4Climate

[AFSA @Afsafrica]

Seed is the source of all life. #Agroecology champions smallholder farming systems that revive, restore, and enhance our farmers’ variety seeds. Maintaining crop diversity ensures food security and climate resilience.
