Put Agroecology at Centre of COP27 Agenda #AfricaClimateHope
Agroecology supports the soil, and biodiversity which is important for resilience. It allows farmers to adapt to climate change, and sustainably use and conserve natural resources.
The Southern African Faith Communities Environment Institute is playing an increasing role in educating and encouraging followers to step up and take an action on food security and the climate emergency. Africa has long suffered the devastating impacts of climate change, despite contributing little to the climate crisis, according to the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization.
With an emphasis on sharing training and experiences, SAFCEI in September 2022, hosted a workshop that provided resources on agroecology as well as sharing strategies to set up viable and sustainable agroecological practices.
