INVITATION TO A RAPID ASSESSMENT STUDY ON THE CONTRIBUTION OF AGROECOLOGY ON NUTRITION AND FOOD SECURITY IN AFRICA USING SYSTEMS THINKING AND MODELLING
July 18, 2023
As one of the key Agroecology stakeholders in Kenya, we are inviting you to a one day Agroecology workshop next week on Tuesday 18th July 2023, starting 8.30am at the ICIPE Campus, Bee health board room.
The aim of the workshop is to exchange ideas and perspectives on agroecology (AE) and its adoption and to engage you in a phase of participatory modeling.
The workshop has been designed in two main parts:
- Undertake discussions on practice of agroecology and its contribution to food nutrition and security
- Build a concept model for agroecology adaptation for policy influence
The workshop is part of an Eastern Africa project that has been awarded to BvAT by the US Department of State at the Africa Union ( USAU) for a period of 1 year. The purpose of this project is to implement activities that will document comprehensive evidence on the contribution of agroecology to nutrition and food security.
It is expected that the project will build foundations for engagement with policy makers and influence decisions on investments and mainstreaming of agroecology in the Eastern Africa region. Additionally, the project will help build a critical mass (multistakeholder) for sustaining results achieved through the project.
This workshop will therefore form the main data generation process through mental modelling to provide a causal loop diagram (CLD) on factors that affect Agroecology adoption and its contribution to nutrition and food security.
