📢This is BIIIG!!! Kenya has officially launched its National Agroecology Strategy for Food Systems Transformation (NAS FST). This has been a rigorously multistakeholder & transdisciplinary-driven process involving stakeholders. @biovision_org @giz_gmbh @PelumKenya @IccasaA

The Agroecology TPP Dialogues #3 is approaching. Sarah Jones, Scientist, @BiovIntCIAT_eng, will be talking about what the #AgroecologyInitiative is learning from the application of the Holistic Localized Performance Assessment #HOLPA in eight countries. bit.ly/496HMEj

Kenya's National Agroecology Strategy for Food Systems Transformation (NAS FST) officially launches tomorrow.

Launch of the National Agroecology Strategy for Food System transformation will be on 28th November 2024. This is a great first step towards transformation of our food systems. Thank you to all partners involved in the formulation process.
