The AFSA project (Alliance for Food Sovereignty in Africa) emphasizes the vital role of agroecology in addressing climate change through adaptation, resilience-building, and greenhouse gas mitigation. Grounded in sustainable, locally driven agricultural practices and indigenous knowledge systems, agroecology offers a holistic solution to Africa’s environmental and socio-economic challenges.
The initiative calls for a shift in agricultural policies to formally recognize and support agroecology as a viable climate strategy. AFSA’s policy brief presents clear evidence of agroecology’s positive impact on livelihoods, food security, and ecosystem health across African communities.
