SUMMARY:“The interface between agroecology and territorial approaches for food systems transformation”.
DESCRIPTION:Agroecology and its principles are increasingly recognized as a promising pathway for providing sustainable solutions to the issues of food security and nutrition\, the fight against poverty and social inequalities\, the adaptation to climate change\, the preservation of biodiversity and natural resources\, and the fight against zoonotic diseases. Simultaneously\, approaches that put territories at the center of development also gained attention for the implementation of the UN Agenda 2030 for Sustainable Development. \nThis first session of the Agroecology Dialogue Series will explore the interface between territorial approaches and agroecology\, and look at how this interface can contribute to sustainable food systems transformation. Further\, it will analyze the pathways needed for public policies\, research initiatives\, investment mechanisms\, and advocacy to support agroecological transitions at territorial scales.\nMore details and agenda will follow soon. \nShare This

SUMMARY:INVITATION TO A RAPID ASSESSMENT STUDY ON THE CONTRIBUTION OF AGROECOLOGY ON NUTRITION AND FOOD SECURITY IN AFRICA USING SYSTEMS THINKING AND MODELLING
DESCRIPTION: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. \nThe 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. \nThe workshop has been designed in two main parts: \n\nUndertake discussions on practice of agroecology and its contribution to food nutrition and security\nBuild a concept model for agroecology adaptation for policy influence\n\nThe 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. \nIt 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. \nThis 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. \n  \nShare This

SUMMARY:5th AFRICAN ORGANIC CONFERENCE  KIGALI\, RWANDA
DESCRIPTION:Theme:\n\n\nStrengthening Resilient and Sustainable Food Systems in Africa through Organic Agriculture\n\nThe African Organic Network (AfrONet)\, an umbrella body of organic agriculture actors in Africa representing the National and Regional Organic Agriculture Movements (NOAMs/ROAMs) is organizing the 5th African Organic Conference (AOC) in Kigali\, Rwanda for four (4) days from December 12 – 15\, 2023 in collaboration with the organic agriculture actors in Africa\, the African Union Commission and other strategic organizations outside Africa. The event shall be concluded with the General Assembly of the Network. \nThe AOC is held every 3 years. The 4th AOC was held in November 2018 at Sally\, Senegal. The 3rd AOC was held in Lagos\, Nigeria in October 2015. The 2nd AOC was in Lusaka\, Zambia in May 2012 while the 1st AOC was held in Kampala\, Uganda in 2009. The 5th AOC (5AOC) which was scheduled to be held in Marrakesh\, Morocco in November 2021\, could not be convened due to circumstances beyond our control. Enforcing the resolution of the 4th AOC\, the Board of AfrONet gave Rwanda Organic Agriculture Movement (ROAM)\, as a run-up to FIMABio of Morocco to host the 5th AOC. At an Extraordinary virtual General Assembly of AfrONet members in March 2023\, the 5th AOC was rescheduled to hold in Kigali\, Rwanda from 12 – 15 December 2023.

SUMMARY:Online Refresher Webnar – From Bean to Bunch: Sustainable strategies for Banana and Coffee Production
DESCRIPTION:Topic: From Bean to Bunch: Sustainable strategies for Banana and Coffee Production\n\nGrowing bananas in young coffee plantations also ensures that the farmer gets some returns from the land before the coffee reaches the productive stage. Intercropping banana with coffee is usually more profitable and resilient than the production of either crop grown as monocrops. The Webnar is organised by PELUM Uganda KHEA Master Trainers – Robert Guloba and Kabuye Margaret. \nDon’t Miss! \nTune in this Friday16th February 2024 via zoom \nJoin in the zoom via this link https://us04web.zoom.us/join \nMeeting ID:837 8076 7055 \nPasscode: 956110 \nShare This
