Description
1) Objective
The general objective of this call for proposals is to contribute to the transition towards sustainable and resilient agricultural systems through the widespread adoption of agroecological practices adapted to local contexts. The specific objective is: Farmers have validated agroecological solutions, accompanied by technical, economic and institutional mechanisms, as well as the skills needed to enable them to be adopted and disseminated on a large scale.
The expected results are as follows:
- R1 – Innovative agroecological solutions, including cropping systems and practices, soil management and biodiversity management, are identified, tested and adapted to local conditions and producers’ needs.
- R2 – The agroecological practices and systems identified undergo a rigorous assessment of their agro-economic, environmental and social performance, including their resilience to climate change, in order to determine their potential for future scaling up.
- R3 – On-the-ground technical, financial and/or organisational support for the agroecological transition, adapted to local contexts, is available to producers.
