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.
