Agroecology against hunger and climate changes

Today, the greatest challenge for agriculture remains its capacity to ensure food and nutritional security for all, in a context of scarcity of natural resources (soil, water, biodiversity), growth of an increasingly urban world population, emergence of zoonoses, diseases and crop pests.

All these challenges are accentuated by climate crises which amplify the threats that already exist for the most vulnerable populations, particularly in agricultural production areas where household food security depends on their own agricultural production. To fight against hunger and provide responses to climate change, Action Contre la Faim promotes the development of agro-ecology among the most vulnerable populations in its areas of intervention and in its advocacy with governments, so that peasant agro-ecology is supported by public policies.
