The Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH has recently published an insightful paper sharing its recommendations and perspectives on agroecology.
This paper emphasizes the urgent need for sustainable agricultural and food systems that can deliver affordable and healthy food for all while respecting planetary boundaries and ensuring social well-being.
Agroecology, with its rich history, has garnered public attention in the past two decades as it continuously adapts to current challenges. GIZ views agroecology as a dynamic and systemic approach that tackles the ecological, socio-cultural, technological, economic, and political aspects of food systems – spanning from production to consumption. This approach not only addresses immediate needs but also provides strategic guidance for the future development of food systems.
For a detailed exploration of GIZ’s views and recommendations on agroecology, and to understand how this approach can reshape our food systems for the better, read the full paper here.
