From the soil up: how can agroecology and regenerative agriculture transform food systems?

Land degradation continues to negatively impact 3.2 billion people. Agroecology and regenerative agricultural systems can be part of the solution, providing safe and nutritious food, enhancing above and belowground biodiversity, storing carbon, and improving water storage and cycling.

Join SNV and CA4SH for an exploration of the transformative power of agroecology and regenerative agriculture on our food systems. This webinar tackles the urgent issue of land degradation and highlights the potential of these sustainable systems to contribute to ecosystem restoration.

Our objectives are manifold: we aim to raise awareness, showcase collaborative action, highlight impactful evidence, and call for more investment in these eco-friendly farming systems. Our audience will gain crucial insights into the role of these systems in aligning nature, people, and prosperity, as well as their significance in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). We aim to deliver a deeper understanding of the importance and scalability of agroecology and regenerative agriculture. We will collectively identify bold policy actions and practices, aiming to foster an environment conducive to supporting, financing, and scaling agroecosystems.

Together, we will chart a comprehensive roadmap for multistakeholder action in creating a resilient and sustainable food system. 

This is an official virtual side event to the UN Food Systems Summit +2 Stocktaking Moment (UNFSS+2), taking place on Tuesday, 25th July 2023. More information on the UNFSS+2 can be found here.
