Agroecology is increasingly recognized as the most suitable approach to achieving sustainable food, land, and eco-systems. A system that can support efforts to eliminate hunger, alleviate poverty, and soil degradation. With agroecology, we are likely to achieve food sovereignty, build territorial markets, and productively empower the youth and women. We still have limitations however, some of which are due to the land rights and governance that affect all, but especially the women who make up over 50-70% of the small-scale farmers.
This webinar, organised by PELUM. discussed how to secure women's land rights for agroecology. PELUM Association is a strong network of 12 countries in East and Southern Africa working to improve the livelihoods of small holder farmers and sustainability of rural communities through promoting Ecological Land Use Management practices.
