Biodiversity & Ecosystem Services in Agricultural Production Systems
2015AGROECOLOGY is the science of applying ecological concepts and principles to the design and management of sustainable food systems. It focuses on the interactions between plants, animals, humans and the environment. Agroecological practices work in harmony with these interactions, applying innovative solutions that harness and conserve biodiversity. Agroecology is practised in all corners of the world, with the traditional and local knowledge of family farmers at its core. Through an integrative approach, agroecology is a realm where science, practice and social movements converge to seek a transition to sustainable food systems, built upon the foundations of equity, participation and justice.Read the reports and other materials from other Meetings on Agroecology for Food Security and Nutrition :

No results found.Zero Hunger’s strategy combines short ‐ term responses to emergency situations with medium ‐ and long ‐ term responses that help create the necessary conditions for families to guaranteeing their own food security. Additionally, it recognizes that the needs of people living in rural and urban areas differ and offers a specific set of interventions for each case. This is in line with the “twin ‐ track approach” recommended by FAO in the 1996 World Food Summit and endorsed by the Comprehensive Fr amework of Action of the UN’s Secretary General High ‐ Level Task Force on the Global Food Security Crisis.
