Descriptions

The Liechtenstein Development Service (LED) is supporting the Transformative Partnership Platform on Agroecology to accelerate agroecological food system transformations, contributing to food and nutrition security and economic prosperity, without overshooting planetary boundaries. This project focuses on three main outcomes:
1. Food systems actors collaborate effectively to address critical knowledge and implementation gaps to accelerate agroecological transitions in low- and middle-income countries [TPP core activities].
2. Key policy makers and donors engage with other Agroecology TPP members on agroecological approaches to ensure improved soil health and crop productivity in Africa.
3. Policy makers and civil society organizations in Agroecology Coalition member countries track implementation of the Committee on World Food Security (CFS) policy recommendations on agroecology.
The geographical focus of the project is primarily global, with policy dialogues expected to take place in selected African contexts, particularly in LED priority countries, such as Senegal and Tanzania. Direct target groups include decision makers from governmental, non-governmental, donor and research organizations. Indirect beneficiaries include smallholder farmers and other food system actors.
