Agroecology Means of Combating Desertification and Deforestation

Abstract

Recognized as effective and sustainable by agronomists for years, agroecology finally has its place in +global debates: it was at the heart of discussions at the One Planet Summit. But is it really a large-scale solution to combine environmental preservation, food security and socio-economic development?

Faced with the ecological crisis from which agriculture is suffering and the negative and limited impacts of the “green revolution”, multiple approaches aim to implement agroecological agriculture. Agroecology responds to the future challenges of humanity (food security, development of countries in the South, jobs, ecological transition of production and consumption methods). But its generalization requires support and appropriate public policies.
