AGROECOLOGY Protects Land, Food, People & the Environment

Agroecology – an ecological approach to agriculture – is about farming in a way that works with nature, rather than against it.

Every minute, the world spends about $1 million to subsidise agriculture. Yet, despite this investment, over 90% of crop varieties have disappeared in the past 100 years. Today, just 9 plant species account for 66% of total crop production.

Agroecology draws from nature’s own processes to find better ways to grow our food. From promoting biodiversity to strengthening local economies, agroecology paves the way for a more resilient and sustainable food system.

It’s time we adopted a method that aligns with nature, protecting our planet for present and future generations. Do you agree?
