The good food
Future Earth strengthens sustainable initiatives to use the earth’s resources. Our members in South Asia and Latin America show the way forward through agroecology.
Agroecology is a way of cultivating, planning and operating agriculture based on local conditions, ecological thinking and biodiversity (species richness in both wild and cultivated species).
Agroecological agriculture counteracts climate change while creating better conditions for climate adaptation and resilience. The agroecological model organizes agriculture, management and distribution with a strong rights perspective. A sustainable food system should focus on the central role of small-scale producers. In order to combat climate change, marginalization and poverty, preservation of cultures and biodiversity, it is crucial to secure smallholder farmers, women and indigenous peoples access to land and forest.
Future Earth wishes the whole world population a really good meal!
