DeSIRA (2024) What agroecology brings to food security and ecosystem services: a review of scientific evidence # 11 p.

 

This knowledge brief aims to provide a set of evidence, based on a large-scale analysis of scientific articles (literature review, meta-analysis, models). There is a strong theoretical basis and empirical evidence that food security outcomes (availability, access, utilisation, stability) are as good or sometimes even better for agroecological systems than conventional alternatives. 

Four levers for agroecology supporting the positive impacts of agroecology on food security are analysed: 

• crop diversification
• legume-based systems, 
• agroforestry and 
• mixed crop-livestock systems.

12-13 March 2024. The second Members Forum meeting of the Transformative Partnership Platform on Agroecology – or Agroecology TPP – was held in Nairobi and online.

Not only did the 2024 meeting provide an opportunity to share progress and assess key achievements, but it also helped to identify successful strategies, pinpoint existing challenges, and, collectively, determine priorities for the future, all the while enhancing synergies.
