Online Refresher Webnar – From Bean to Bunch: Sustainable strategies for Banana and Coffee Production
2024-02-16 10:00 - 12:00
Topic: From Bean to Bunch: Sustainable strategies for Banana and Coffee Production

Growing 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.

5th AFRICAN ORGANIC CONFERENCE KIGALI, RWANDA
2023-12-12 - 2023-12-15 | Kigali, Rwanda, Kigali, Rwanda
Theme:

Strengthening Resilient and Sustainable Food Systems in Africa through Organic Agriculture

The 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.
The 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. Rwanda Organic Agriculture Movement is hosting the event in Rwanda on behalf of AfrONet in both physical and virtual modes.

INVITATION TO A RAPID ASSESSMENT STUDY ON THE CONTRIBUTION OF AGROECOLOGY ON NUTRITION AND FOOD SECURITY IN AFRICA USING SYSTEMS THINKING AND MODELLING
2023-07-18 | ICIPE Campus, Bee health board room., Kasarani QVHW+6MJ, Nairobi, Kenya
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.
