Producers and policy makers committed to an agenda for agroecology in Sub-Saharan Africa at the Regional Meeting on Agroecology for food and nutrition security in Sub-Saharan Africa from 5-6 November 2015 in Dakar, Senegal. […] Increased species diversity within a biological network correlates with significantly reduced pest populations and vice versa, providing justification for the diversification of agroecosystems to improve the sustainability of food production systems. […] The Charter of the International Organic Action Network explains why and how organic agriculture is a socially, and economically and ecologically resilient approach for the production of food and agriculture-based raw materials. […] Research for the FAO shows that industrialized farming costs the environment some $ 3.3 trillion per year. More sustainable farming practices could greatly reduce the cost of environmental impacts and help countries cope with food security challenges. […] The Alliance for Food Sovereignty in Africa calls for a bold transition to agroecology in Africa. […] The International Panel of Experts on Sustainable Food Systems (IPES-Food) has adopted a set of 10 principles to guide the transition to sustainable food systems. […] Agroecology can spark a change process that will create a resilient and sustainable global food and agricultural system. Examples of such transitions are needed to garner the political support for agroecology. […] This paper recommends a proactive rights-based approach with agroecology as the framework to support small-scale, agriculturally biodiverse farming systems in order to secure local and global food security in this era of climate change. […] Policy-makers are urged to use the technology justice framework and give priority to the promotion of agroecological practices, which are productive, inclusive and increase adaptive capacity to climate change.
