The CGIAR Initiative on Agroecology

Global Food and Nutrition Security

This Initiative aims to develop and scale agroecological innovations with small-scale farmers and other agricultural and food system actors across different socio-ecological contexts in seven low- and middle-income countries.

Burkina Faso: dairy production

India: integrated rice - fish farming

Kenya: Advanced sustainable production systems including practices such as plant-based biopesticides, farmyard manure, terraces, water harvesting and agroforestry.

Lao PDR: Innovation at multiple levels: rice seeds, farmer-led solar irrigation, and wetlands governance.

Peru: Enhanced sustainable production of organic cacao systems including agricultural diversification of smallholders farming.

Senegal: Expanded crop-livestock integration and agroforestry.

Tunisia: Enhanced crop diversification and rotation, feed management to cope with forage scarcity during dry periods, reduce inputs, and increase recycling.
