This report calls for a shift from the use of hazardous pesticides to agroecology, providing evidence that the latter is more viable and will contribute greatly to human and environmental health, food security, poverty reduction and climate resilience. […] The FAO has identified agroecology as crucial to ensure food security through restoring the health of millions of hectares of degraded agricultural soils across the globe. […] This report looks at the critical role African rural women play in maintaining the continent’s diverse and resilient agricultural systems. […] Experts discuss how agroecology can transform the current unsustainable agro-food system and nourish the whole world, and what should be done to effect this transition. […] These case studies demonstrate the tremendous success of agroecological agriculture in Africa in the face of climate change, hunger and poverty. […] AFSA is making an evidence-based, coherent case for agroecology as the sustainable long-term solution for farming in Africa, through a collection of case studies. […] 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.
