Synopsis (short abstract) As food systems are uniquely connected to many social and environmental challenges, their transformation can create synergies that combat several global crises at once. Organized by FAO in collaboration with the Governments of Senegal, Quebec and the State of Bahia (Brazil), IAAS and YPARD, this event will highlight actions from vulnerable groups such as women, youth, indigenous people, and small-scale farmers. Through concrete experiences, this panel discussion will showcase how encompassing the three pillars of inclusivity, resilience, and low carbon can help us successfully reach our climate targets while ensuring the food security and livelihoods of all.

Promoting community-based approaches is crucial to finding concrete, adapted and sustainable solutions to climate change in the agriculture sector because it enables integrating scientific insights into local knowledge systems, and empowering local actors to take the lead role in improving their production systems. Organized by FAO in collaboration with the Government of Senegal, the Government of Quebec, the Ministry of Ecological Transition of Italy, the Government of Zambia and the Federal Ministry of Food and Agriculture of Germany, this event aims at highlighting the potential of community-based, bottom-up strategies in agriculture to implement and scale up climate change commitments. In particular, the event will showcase three approaches that leverage this potential: Farmer Field Schools (FFS), indigenous Chakra systems and Climate-Smart Agriculture (CSA).

This study highlights the links between agroecology and climate change, by providing evidence on the technical (i.e. ecological and socio-economic) and policy potential of agroecology to build resilient food systems. The report aims to answer the following question: - How can agroecology foster climate change adaptation, mitigation and resilience through practices and policies? Inspired by the idea that transformation will only happen through a coordinated approach among all levels, this study aims to combine evidence from a broad range of backgrounds and perspectives.
