Dear Friends, Colleagues & Collaborators
You are warmly invited to share your African Agroecological Entrepreneurship (AAE) and Territorial Markets (TMs) stories. You may even get them published!
Agroecological Entrepreneurship involves creating businesses that apply ecological farming principles to promote sustainability, biodiversity, and resilience while advancing economic value, environmental conservation, social equity, and food sovereignty. These entrepreneurs drive the adoption of eco-friendly practices, improve soil health, and contribute to healthier, more productive farming systems. This approach empowers local communities to control their food production, reduce dependence on external inputs, and build resilience to climate change.
Territorial Markets are equally important, providing platforms for local producers to sell goods directly to consumers, creating shorter, more transparent food chains. These markets strengthen local economies, preserve indigenous knowledge, and ensure access to healthy, culturally appropriate food, fostering food sovereignty and healthier communities.
To support Agroecological Entrepreneurship (AAE) and Territorial Markets (TM), AFSA is documenting case studies to strengthen the evidence base and share good practices across Africa. The initiative aims to highlight innovative approaches and successful models that promote resilient and sustainable food systems.
AFSA invites individuals to submit an Expression of Interest for proposed case studies by November 8, 2024. Selected participants will be invited to complete their case study using a provided template, with a small budget available for further assistance if needed.
Please fill out the Expression of Interest form https://ee.kobotoolbox.org/x/hRaNeBKj by the deadline of November 8, 2024.
We look forward to hearing from you! Many Thanks in advance
Ruth Nabaggala Program Officer, AFSA
