Webinar: Stock-take report on agroecology in IFAD operations: An integrated approach to sustainable food systems

08 September 2021

Beyond merely focusing on the use of ecology-based principles in farming systems, agroecology also promotes social values around benefit sharing – in particular, the inclusion of women, youth and other vulnerable groups; responsible governance; and innovations through the co-creation of knowledge. As a practice, a science and a movement, agroecology aims to increase and diversify agricultural production, while seeking to efficiently use and recycle resources in farming and food systems. Agroecology seeks to promote linkages between producers and consumers around the value of sustainably produced food, increase small-scale producers’ access to secure and differentiated markets, and enhance communities’ nutritional security and resilience to climate change.
