Transitioning to sustainable food and agriculture systems is critical to tackle malnutrition,
social injustice, land degradation, water scarcity, climate change, loss of biodiversity, and
agroecology plays a key role therein. In 2018, the World Future Council awarded, in
partnership with the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and IFOAM – Organics
International, exemplary policies that scale up agroecology, and recognized, in collaboration
with the Startup TAGS, effective practices that empower small-scale food producers. Also a
number of award-winning experts promote scaling up agroecology. At this event we take a
closer look at World Champions advancing the much needed transformation of our food
systems and will discuss especially solutions from Africa.
