Agroecological enterprises are a key element in the transformation towards just and sustainable food systems. To enable them to scale up and create more local jobs and impact, we and our partner organization Shona set up the Neycha Accelerator & Fund to provide capacity building, networking and access to capital.

Can farmers conduct research? Definitely! In Malawi, they are experimenting with dozens of agroecological farming methods – and with great success.

Biovision wants to support the use of agroecological practices along the entire value chain. To do so, various interest groups must be brought together. At the Centre for Agroecology in Morogoro, Tanzania, we are doing just that.

In Ethiopia, Biovision wants young women to earn a stable income through beekeeping. This not only helps their families, but also promotes plant diversity and the renaturation of the region.

In the Ethiopian districts of Tiyo and Hitosa, we are involved in promoting more sustainable and fairer agriculture on three fronts: We increase farmers’ yields using clever methods, encourage healthier soils and more biodiversity, and also empower women through training and education.

In the Samburu district of Kenya, Biovision is relying on camels and the innovative use of invasive plants. With them, herders can cope better with challenges such as climate change.
