Themes

Agroecology is linked to different topics such as biodiversity, climate change and the SDGs. In the past years, interesting initiatives such as national strategies for food system transformation, entrepreneurship support and market development, have also emerged in Eastern and Southern Africa. Discover below past and current activities on these themes by Biovision's policy & advocacy team.

Over the past few years, we have worked on different topics closely linked to agroecology, policy initiatives aimed at scaling up agroecology, entry points supporting it’s development as well as initiatives helping food system actors across the value chain and agroecological markets.
