Identifying farming systems that contribute to food security, the fight against poverty and biodiversity: challenges and possible solutions

About this event


Food security, poverty and biodiversity: which agricultural systems for sustainable development in Mozambique ?

Faced with the growing challenges of food insecurity, rural poverty and the erosion of biodiversity, identifying sustainable agricultural models is becoming a priority. How can we reconcile agricultural productivity, the preservation of ecosystems and improved living conditions for local populations ?

As part of the ECOPRONAT research program, the FARSYMABI project is exploring the agricultural systems that can meet these challenges in Mozambique. Based on field studies and socio-economic and ecological analyses, it proposes ways in which these systems can be effectively integrated into public policy.

This Research Conversation invites you to discuss :

✔️ The key results of the FARSYMABI project and their implications for agricultural policies,

✔️ Levers for action to promote biodiversity-friendly agriculture and development,

✔️ Prospects for application to other contexts in sub-Saharan Africa.
