  15. #Agroecology as the path to #ClimateResilient and just food systems

    By Dr Susan Chomba, Director Food, Land and Water at World Resources Institute Africa

    Monday, July 28, 2025 — updated on August 02, 2025

    "The 2nd National Agroecology Symposium, held in Nairobi from July 10–11, 2025, marked a pivotal moment in #Kenya’s food systems transformation.

    "The event brought together farmers, researchers, civil society, private sector actors, media, and policymakers with one clear message: Agroecology must move from the margins to the centre of national agricultural strategy. It is not just an alternative; it is the most viable path forward to achieve our intertwined goals for #people, #nature, and #climate—without compromising one for the other.
    Agroecology offers a coherent framework for #RegeneratingSoils, producing safe and nutritious food, and building #ClimateResilient and #equitable #FoodSystems.

    "As #ClimateChange intensifies, this approach provides Kenya and other #AfricanNations a powerful opportunity to lead a just transition—rooted in #LocalKnowledge, backed by #science, and responsive to the realities of #smallholder #farmers.

    A crossroads for Kenya’s food systems

    "Kenya’s food systems are at a crossroads. The dominant model—based on chemical-intensive agriculture and ultra-processed foods—is driving soil degradation, poor nutrition, increased prevalence of non-communicable diseases, and the pollution of our rivers and lakes. This model also contributes significantly to #biodiversity loss and #GreenhouseGasEmissions.

    "Alternatively, a more resilient and #sustainable path is within reach—one that aligns human health with ecological integrity. But this transition cannot be left to smallholder farmers alone. It requires coordinated leadership from governments—particularly ministries of agriculture, health, environment, and finance—as well as development partners, scientists, and the private sector.

    "Farmers should not be expected to feed a growing population and withstand escalating #ClimateShocks while being under-supported or misdirected by ineffective policies and subsidies. Without the right investments and incentives, we risk deepening the crisis.

    What agroecology is—and isn’t

    "Agroecology is too often misunderstood as a nostalgic return to low-productivity farming. In reality, it is a sophisticated, evidence-informed, and farmer-driven approach to transforming food systems in ways that are locally appropriate and ecologically sound. It is not a one-size-fits-all solution, but a dynamic practice that integrates scientific research with #TraditionalKnowledge.

    "The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) outlines 10 elements of agroecology, while the High-Level Panel of Experts (HLPE) has identified 13 principles. These include #RecyclingNutrients, enhancing biodiversity, strengthening synergies, and co-creating knowledge."

  16. 📢Day 2 of #oeweek brings a new OA title: 'A Country of #Shepherds: Cultural Stories of a Changing #Mediterranean Landscape' by Kathleen Ann Myers.

    🐑🌿Discover the lives of Andalusian shepherds & their impact on ecological farming & cultural heritage.

    This book draws on the life stories told by #shepherds, #farmers, and their families in the #Andalusian region in #Spain to sketch out the #landscapes, actions, and challenges of people who work in #pastoralism. Their narratives highlight how local practices interact with #regional and #European communities and #policies, and they help us see a broader role for extensive grazing practices and #sustainability.

    'A Country of #Shepherds' is timely, reflecting the growing interest in ecological farming methods as well as the #Spanish #government’s recent work with #UNESCO to recognise the seasonal movement of herd animals in the #IberianPeninsula as an Intangible #CulturalHeritage.
