Our future climate according to latest scenarios seriously undermine current efforts to improve the state of food security and nutrition, especially in sub-Sahara Africa. To address this to its full extent, there is an urgent need for transformational change of our food systems towards more sustainability and resilience. Agroecology could play a vital role here both for mitigation and adaptation efforts.<\/span><\/p><p>Aside of other engagements on the climate&lt;&gt;agroecology nexus, Biovision collaborated with the FAO in 2020 on a study tackling the question: &#8220;How can agroecology foster climate change adaptation, mitigation and resilience through practices and policies?&#8221;. The study described further below provides solid evidence that biodiverse agroecological systems strengthen communities&#8217; resilience to climate change.<\/p><p>Biovision keeps being engaged during international climate negotiations highlighting the opportunities offered by national agroecology policies and strategies in achieving national climate targets.

climate resilience.<\/li><li>Agroecology increases the adaptive capacity and reduces the vulnerability of agroecosystems, mainly through improved soil health, biodiversity and high diversification of species and genetic resources within agricultural production systems.<\/li><li>Mitigation co-benefits are also achieved, mainly related to increased soil organic matter (carbon sequestration) and the reduced use of synthetic fertilizers.<\/li><li>Institutional aspects, such as knowledge co-creation and dissemination via advisory services and farmer-to-farmer approaches have a key role to support the development, strengthening and uptake of agroecology.<\/li><li>When supporting agroecology and fostering climate resilience, it is key to establish and strengthen functional context specific

agroecology (according to FAO\u2019s 10 elements definition1) to be considered and recommended as a relevant approach in the international agriculture-climate discussions, in particular in the UNFCCC process and the Koronivia Joint Work on Agriculture (KJWA) revealed that:<\/p><ul><li>An increasing number of countries and stakeholders from different backgrounds see agroecology and related approaches as a promising mean for reaching adaptation and mitigation targets and to achieve an effective transformational change.<\/li><li>12.5 percent of the NDCs (17 out of the 136 analyzed) explicitly mention \u201cagroecology\u201d, as either an adaptation strategy (11 percent) or as mitigation to climate change (4 percent) (13 are from sub-Saharan Africa, 2 from Latin America and Caribbean, 1 from Near East and North Africa and 1 from Asia Pacific).<\/li><li>Without addressing agroecology specifically, isolated agroecological approaches are mentioned in additional NDCs, in particular selected agroecological elements such as \u201cefficiency\u201d, \u201crecycling\u201d, \u201cdiversity\u201d and \u201cco-creating of knowledge\u201d.<\/li><li>Agroecology has also seen

institutional frameworks in terms of the potential to incorporate agroecology to hedge against climate change. This provides a deep understanding of the current national context, the enabling environment as well as the opportunities and challenges for scaling-up agroecology to be considered in the decision-making process and to scale it up. While Kenya and Senegal have different policy settings, in both countries there is considerable potential for agroecology to gain momentum. However, it is challenging to translate the interdisciplinary and systemic nature of agroecology into policies, laws, strategies. Both case studies highlight the importance of training and awareness raising activities to ensure common understanding of agroecology and to ensure its translation into appropriate institutional frameworks.<\/p><h4>Kenya Policy Environment<\/h4><ul><li>Climate related policies do not emphasize systemic, ecologic farming approaches but selectively address agroecology elements such as soil and conservation practices.<\/li><li>Through increased understanding of agroecology, stakeholders see opportunities of integrating it into sub-national institutional processes.<\/li><li>Good opportunities to embed agroecological approaches into existing policies.<\/li><li>Further efforts to provide evidence, training and policy guidance for agroecology would need to be matched with increased levels of public and private investment and financial support.<\/li><\/ul><h4>\u00a0<\/h4><h4>Senegal Policy Environment<\/h4><ul><li>Agroecology emerged in the 1980s and many promising initiatives spread out since then that have influenced policies. However, policies and laws do not yet include agroecological approaches, as there is still a strong focus on high external input-dependent agricultural systems.<\/li><li>Favorable conditions for scaling-up agroecology exist today: 1) an increasing institutional commitment, since agroecology is one of the government\u2019s priorities (among the five major initiatives of the Plan Senegal Emergent 2019-2024); 2) the national multi-stakeholder committee Dynamique sur la Transition Agro\u00e9cologique au S\u00e9n\u00e9gal (DyTAES) aspires to develop a harmonized framework on agroecology
