Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetScaling Up Agroecology - Guiding the transition to more sustainable, efficient, equitable and inclusive food systems
Guiding the transition to more sustainable, efficient, equitable and inclusive food systems

No results found.With the global population expected to reach 9.6 billion by 2050, agriculture must tackle hunger and malnutrition in the face of growing pressure on natural resources, a loss of biodiversity and the uncertainties of climate change. By applying ecological and social concepts and principles, agroecology can guide the transition to more sustainable, efficient, equitable and inclusive food systems. There is growing evidence of the positive impact of agroecological approaches on the environment, economy and society at large, but the data remain fragmented, hindering effective decision-making. FAO plans to work with its partners to harmonize data collection and help scale up the use of agroecology to rehabilitate degraded lands and protect biodiversity, while realising the needs of food and agriculture for a growing global population. -
Book (stand-alone)CFS 2019/46/Inf.17 - Agroecological and other innovative approaches for sustainable agriculture and food systems that enhance food security and nutrition. A report by the High Level Panel of Experts on Food Security and Nutrition

2019Also available in:
Food systems and agriculture are at a crossroads and a profound transformation is needed at all scales, not only to achieve Sustainable Development Goal 2 (SDG2) to “end hunger and all forms of malnutrition” by 2030 but also to address Agenda 2030 in its entirety, including human and environmental health, climate change, equity and social stability. Current trends, such as the new increase, since 2014, in the number of undernourished people and the alarming rate of all forms of malnutrition in all countries, and related tensions will be exacerbated if we fail to design and implement, in a very near future, food systems that ensure food security and nutrition while addressing all sustainability challenges. Agroecological and other innovative approaches in agriculture are increasingly praised for their potential contribution to reach these crucial goals. This report adopts a dynamic perspective, centred on the key concepts of transition and transformation. Ultimately, this rich and comprehensive report aims to fuel an exciting policy convergence process and help remove the lock-ins by developing a common understanding of these matters, so that concrete transition pathways can be implemented at all relevant scales, from farm, community and landscape to national, regional and global levels. -
