We celebrate our partner's unique approaches which brings communities together through community dialogues, reviving indigenous knowledge, community seed banks, vibrant seed and food fairs, Holistic Land/Livestock Management, soil and plant health practices @FundAgroecology
There is urgent need to support farmer-led seed systems as sustainable solutions to the climate crisis as we continue to advocate for policies that honor farmers' rights, traditional seed systems, and food sovereignty.

We’ll be in ETHIOPIA next week 🇪🇹 AFSA is bringing together 250 in person and over 2000 online African youths for the first ever #1000AfricanYouthSummit. 🌱 “The Thousand African Youth Summit is not just an event; it is a movement that empowers African youth to develop and share solutions for building climate-resilient food systems. It’s an opportunity for young leaders to take center stage in shaping our food and climate future.” ~ Dr @Million_Belay @Afsafrica’s General Coordinator. The summit, themed “African Youth Showcasing Agroecological Opportunities to Adapt to the Climate Crisis,” comes at a crucial time when Africa is grappling with two competing narratives to feeding its people, adapting to climate change, and restoring biodiversity. The dominant narrative pushes for an industrial food system, which is a major driver of the very crisis it claims to solve. In contrast, agroecology offers a sustainable solution that builds resilience, protects biodiversity, and strengthens food systems. #Youth4Agroecology 💯
The #youth must lead the way in advancing Farmer-Led Seed Systems, preserving cultural knowledge through intergenerational learning, and advocating for a sustainable, poison-free #foodsystem! 🌱💪 Thank you @Afsafrica for driving the movement #youth4Agroecology #1000YouthSummit
