Recording forthcoming
The main objective of this event was to share and discuss the main conclusions of the “AgroEco2050-Senegal” foresight exercise and its implications for sustainable agri-food systems in Senegal.
Jointly implemented by the government of Senegal, CIRAD, ISRA-BAME, FAO and DyTAES, with financial support from GIZ on behalf of BMZ, AgroEco2050-Senegal appears to be an essential initiative aimed at informing long-term visions for Senegalese agriculture.
This collective effort has engaged scientists, farmers, policymakers and institutions to shape the future. AgroEco2050-Senegal aimed to clarify and quantify two different visions of what agriculture, food, nature, employment and well-being could be in Senegal by 2050. One vision was based on intensification of conventional industrial agriculture (IA), while the other was based on scaling up of agroecology (AE). The objective was to compare and understand the implications of these two different paths and to verify their consistency.
This dynamic three-hour event brought together civil servants, researchers, representatives of civil society and the private sector, as well as stakeholders from Senegal and the international community. Through expert advice and stakeholder engagement, the event fostered dialogue, raised awareness and stimulated action towards a sustainable and prosperous agricultural landscape in Senegal.
