Agroecology Leadership Academy
ProSilience supports the agroecological transformation of food systems in Benin, Ethiopia, Kenya, and Madagascar, strengthening their resilience in the face of climate change and other stressors. Implemented by GIZ and co-funded by the EU and BMZ, ProSilience focuses on empowering stakeholders to become leaders of change — by developing their skills, fostering collaboration, and navigating complex transformation processes. The Agroecology Leadership Academy brings together nearly 40 participants from seven countries, creating a community of practice that helps drive sustainable food system transformation at both the local and international level.
Application de l’outil CRISP en Bolivie et en Zambie: Identification des risques climatiques et des options d’adaptation dans les projets agricoles et les systèmes alimentaires
CRISP aide les professionnels et les décideurs politiques du secteur agroalimentaire à comprendre les risques liés au climat et à identifier des options d’adaptation pertinentes pour leurs systèmes agricoles spécifiques. Cette publication illustre l’application pratique de l’outil CRISP en Bolivie et en Zambie. Pour montrer ce que l’outil peut accomplir et quels impacts il a déjà générés, deux projets présentent leurs résultats dans cette fiche d’information.
Le premier exemple, provenant de Bolivie, illustre à quel point l’application de l’outil CRISP peut être précieuse lors de la phase de planification d’un projet. Le deuxième cas, issu de Zambie, met en évidence les avantages des résultats de l’outil pour la vérification des activités déjà mises en œuvre.
Aplicación de la herramienta CRISP en Bolivia y Zambia: Identificación de riesgos climáticos y opciones de adaptación en proyectos agrícolas y de sistemas alimentarios
CRISP ayuda a los profesionales y responsables de políticas en el sector agroalimentario a comprender los riesgos relacionados con el clima y a identificar opciones de adaptación relevantes para sus sistemas agrícolas específicos. Esta publicación ilustra la aplicación práctica de la herramienta CRISP en Bolivia y Zambia. Para mostrar lo que la herramienta puede hacer y qué impactos ya ha generado, dos proyectos presentan sus hallazgos en esta ficha informativa.
El primer ejemplo, de Bolivia, ilustra cuán valiosa puede ser la aplicación de la herramienta CRISP en la fase de planificación de un proyecto. El segundo caso, de Zambia, resalta los beneficios de los resultados de la herramienta para la verificación de actividades que ya se están implementando.
Agroecology: Connecting People, Land, Climate and Biodiversity – Recommendations on the Road to Belém
The outcomes of the 2024 Rio Convention COPs underscore the necessity to enhance and utilize synergies among the Conventions. Agroecology is a promising approach that simultaneously contributes to the goals of the UNFCCC, CBD, and UNCCD. By adopting a systemic approach to food system transformation based on agroecological principles, countries can achieve multiple socio-ecological and economic benefits while fulfilling their commitments to the Rio Conventions.
Boosting Biodiversity Action Through Agroecology
This report provides guidance on integrating agroecology and food systems into the development of National Biodiversity Strategies and Action Plans (NBSAPs), aligning with the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF). It aims to support the implementation of the GBF at the national level, while ensuring coherence with international goals like SDG 2 on sustainable agriculture.
Community-based management of fisheries resources: An approach to sustainable growth
Main waterbodies and fisheries are inherently shared resources that each member of the community is entitled to use equally. Fishing creates jobs and supports the livelihoods of millions of people in rural regions, particularly in Asia and Africa, while also contributing to food and nutrition security. However, unsustainable fishing practices put fish resources under constant pressure. Local communities suffer because of these careless, continuous practices – especially while facing the growing impact of climate change through floods or droughts.
Adapting to Climate Change: Innovative Techniques in the Smallholder Aquaculture Sector
Small-scale enterprises in the aquaculture sector of Southeast Africa face considerable challenges due to climate change, severely affecting water availability, disease prevalence, and farm productivity. Extreme weather events like floods or dry spells can already lead to severe crop losses across entire regions if not addressed adequately by fish farmers. Climate-driven changes in temperature and precipitation are expected to have long-term impacts on the aquaculture sector at multiple levels.
Factsheet: Agroecology’s contribution to the strategic objectives of the UNCCD
The factsheet “Strengthening systemic local solutions for combating land degradation through agroecology” provides insights how agroecology contributes to the goal of achieving land degradation neutrality under the UN Convention on Combating Desertification.
Agroecology Training: Towards sustainable food systems – Introducing the transformative approach of agroecology
This training provides a contemporary understanding of agroecology and related concepts. It combines theoretical and practical elements and identifies entry points for introducing agroecological approaches into development cooperation projects. Given that the choice of suitable agroecological practices is dependent on the project context, we will not focus on concrete practices but approach agroecology from a strategic perspective.
Integrating the Multiple Values of Nature and its Benefits into Development Planning
The “Integrating the Multiple Values of Nature and its Benefits into Development Planning” seeks to assist in operationalising the concepts and principles in the IPBES values assessment, with a view to better mainstreaming the multiple values of nature and its benefits into development planning. The guide is targeted at development practitioners, including those responsible for designing projects and programmes, planning interventions, formulating policies, and implementing, backstopping and monitoring the delivery of on-the-ground activities.
