The 4th Press Release from the CANALLS project presents notable achievements and ongoing initiatives to drive agroecological transitions across Central and Eastern Africa. Below are some key highlights:
1. The project has developed experimental field protocols and established trial plots across all the Agroecology Living Labs (ALLs). Practices such as biopesticides, organic fertilizers, and anti-erosion techniques are being tested, monitored, and evaluated.
2. The FAO’s Tool for Agroecology Performance Evaluation (TAPE) has been adapted to our project's needs as a holistic agroecology assessment framework.
3. The first prototype Decision Support Tool (DST) for farm advisors has been completed. We at GFE, together with the Department of Communication and Advisory Services in Rural Areas (430a) are delighted to have contributed substantially to the development of the DST.
4. Progress has been made in monitoring the ecological, environmental, and social outcomes of implemented practices.
5. Activities to co-design fair, inclusive, and sustainable business models for the ALLs have begun.
6. Efforts are underway to establish a Central and Eastern Africa network of Agroecology Living Labs, aimed at fostering knowledge exchange and collaboration across the region and beyond.
