Good agroecological news from Africa, where we are working in Burkina Faso, Mali and Senegal. The Alliance for the Food Sovereignty of Africa (AFSA), with more than 30 civil society groups from 50 African countries, is rallying behind the mission to make African agriculture agroecological. Following the November Climate Summit (COP27), the AFSA therefore formulated six recommendations.

Solidagro Philippine partners, together with Agroecology Exchange (Agroecology X), a network of organizations advocating for agroecology, participated in the World Localization Day. The event is a celebration of the emerging worldwide localization movement which aims to restore community fabric and human-scale, ecological economies, with a central focus on local food systems.

According to recent FAO reports, global hunger and food insecurity have continuously risen since 2014.[1] Deforestation, ongoing conflicts, unprecedented biodiversity loss and marginalisation of small farmers and peasants have contributed to a global food system failure.
