[…] It is time for African governments to step back from the failing Green Revolution and chart a new food system that respects local cultures and communities by promoting low-cost, low-input ecological agriculture. […] Agroecology provides a path to reconstruct a post-COVID-19 agriculture, able to avoid future widespread disruptions of food supplies by territorializing food production and consumption, and providing means to cope with future challenges by exhibiting high levels of diversity and resilience while delivering yields and providing key ecosystem functions. […] This new report from IPES-Food identifies four leverage points where sustained action could build on progress already made, overcome key obstacles, and accelerate the agroecological transition in West Africa. […] An international study has documented the failure of the Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa to achieve its stated goals of doubling incomes and halving hunger by 2020, and therefore calls on Africa to change course and take up agroecology instead. […] Tackling the climate and rural livelihood crises in the dairy sector requires policies to redirect public funds away from polluting industrial agriculture systems, regulate negative impacts, and regenerate rural communities and livelihoods through agroecological systems. […] A guide to help civil society groups upscale agroecology in the Sahel provides key strategies towards successful implementation. […] |
