A review of 40 years of research compares organic and conventional agriculture against four sustainability goals, finding that organic farming produces sufficient yields, is profitable for farmers, protects the environment, and is safer for farm workers. […] 33 case studies provide evidence of the success of agroecological practices across Africa – restoring degraded land, saving scarce water resources, increasing food production, and improving farmers’ livelihoods and resilience to climate change. […] This paper highlights the dismal investment in agroecology in the US. It calls for prioritization and scaling-up of agroecological research, extension and education, in order to transform the current unsustainable industrial model of agriculture. […] 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. […] |
