#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."

Don't miss the chance to shape the future of #FoodSystems innovation!
The Feeding the Future survey ends Tuesday, September 30: https://communitypriority.org/surveys/feeding-the-future #SDG2 #FoodSecurity #CommunityAlignedAI -
If we're going to build #AI at all, it'd BETTER BE to do good, to empower people, & to help us solve the most important problems that face humanity and our planet!
I am seeking input from #FoodSystems and #FoodSecurity practitioners by Sept 30 to help build that future:

CW: What is agroecology?
Agroecology is a social movement originated by peasant farmers in the global south but nowadays spread over the whole world.
https://agroecologyfund.org/what-is-agroecology/
One of the main organizations is @ViaCampesina .
And agroecology is a field of research where scientists combine the most advanced interdisciplinary knowledge of agricultural ecosystems (I am a soil microbiologist and work with botanists, entomologists (insects), agronomists, food chemists, but also sociologists and economists) with the applied understanding of farmers and indigenous people to develop and promote sustainable farming techniques and a transformation of the food system.
This is because from a scientific point of view, the industrial food system has way too many disadvantages, destroying the planet, society and our health.
