The Agroecology and Circular Economy for Ecosystem Services (ACE4ES) project represents a transformative multidisciplinary initiative underpinned by technology and innovation, capacity building, governance strengthening and mass communication. ACE4ES seeks to revolutionize agricultural and food systems by integrating agroecological principles and circular economy practices to enhance the resilience of livelihoods and landscapes, particularly in rice andContinue reading “Agroecology and circular economy for ecosystem services”

Agroecology for Resilient Landscapes for the Poor in Northern Uplands of Viet NamIn the Northern mountainous region of Viet Nam, unsustainable agricultural practices have been posing serious threats to the livelihoods of poor ethnic minorities and ecosystems. Among the major concerns are the predominance of monocultures, inappropriate management of sloping land, and overuse of chemicalContinue reading “Agroecology for Resilient Landscapes”

Driving agroecological transitions in the humid tropics of Central and Eastern Africa through transdisciplinary Agroecology Living Labs (CANALLS)Funded by the European Union under Grant Agreement No.101083653, CANALLS is a HORIZON Coordination and Support Action that commenced in January 2023. This ambitious project will span a duration of 48 months, during which it aims to facilitateContinue reading “CANALLS”

The social ecology of rangelands in changing savanna environments The stewardship of rangelands in Africa is undermined by overstocking and land degradation, entailing the potential collapse of the existing social-ecological rangeland system. One key factor of rangeland degradation and key driver of their conversion to other land uses is the spread of alien invasive plantContinue reading “Invasive Futures”

Increasing diffusion and impact of the vegetable-integrated push-pull technology (VIPPT) in eastern Africa from a ‘One Health’ perspective The overall goal of the project is to contribute to improved well-being, resilience, human nutrition and incomes of smallholder farmers in East Africa through scaling of VIPPT in diverse agro-ecosystems under a One Health approach. The projectContinue reading “VIPPT”

Agriculture is crucial for many African economies. However, current agriculture and food systems face challenges due to climate change and non-climatic stresses. To address these issues, increasing resilience of food systems and ecosystems is essential, and an agroecological transition towards sustainable agri-food systems is considered a central task for the future. The EU-cofunded action “ProSilience”Continue reading “Agroecology Leadership Academy – Cultivating Transformation”

BRCiS is committed to meaningfully address the many and diverse obstacles to local food system resilience in Somalia – OASIS will adopt the logic of the intervention that: IF agro-producers and agro-business service providers in target locations increase their production capacity (SO1) AND communities increase their use of context-specific environmental management practices (i.e., climate-responsive and regenerative) (SO2) AND food insecure Somalis increaseContinue reading “Building Resilient Communities in Somalia: Operationalising Agro-Sustainability in Somalia (BRCIS: OASIS)”

Building Resilient Communities in Somalia III (BRCiS III) Project (FCDO-funded program) BRCiS is committed to improving communities’ capacity to adapt to climate change while remaining grounded in their lived experiences of the impact of environmental degradation. The BRCiS III project will implement a series of layered and sequenced, mutually reinforcing outputs, designed to strengthen the systemsContinue reading “Building Resilient Communities in Somalia III (BRCiS III)”

The overall aim of the ASSET project is to transform food and agricultural systems in Southeast Asia into more sustainable, safe and inclusive, through harnessing the potential of agroecology. It is implemented by GRET as general coordinator, in strong collaboration with CIRAD in charge of the scientific coordination, and in partnership with a Consortium ofContinue reading “Agroecology & Safe Food System Transitions in South East Asia (ASSET)”
