Knowledge Centre for Organic Agriculture in Africa

As the first integrated project of the Agroecology TPP, the French-funded Viability Project has officially concluded its data collection in December 2022 and spent all of 2023 analyzing and synthesizing findings. The Agroecology TPP, together with its partners, will be live streaming a series of project-related events directly from Saly, Senegal on 5-7 December 2023. These events will help disseminate the key project results and recommendations and explore how they can be integrated into policies, strategies, funding streams and other initiatives across Africa.

These events will help disseminate the key project results, recommendations and explore how they can be integrated into policies, strategies, funding streams and other initiatives across Africa. Therefore, it is important for participants to choose ONE event to participate in, based on the group that best represents their interests:

5th December – Science Forum

6th December – Science & Civil Society Dialogue

7th December – Science & Policy Dialogue

The half-day workshop will share progress and outcomes from the comparative organic and conventional agriculture demo plots at Natural Resources College (NRC) with key stakeholders in Malawi and support this with evidence from long-term farming systems comparison trials from other regions. It will also provide an opportunity to link the demo plots at NRC to the KCOA program as a training resource and source of future Knowledge Products (KPs) and networking platform.

Cet atelier d’une demi-journée permettra de partager avec les principales parties prenantes du Malawi les progrès et les résultats des parcelles de démonstration de l’agriculture biologique et conventionnelle au Natural Resources College (NRC) et de les étayer par des preuves issues d’essais comparatifs à long terme de systèmes agricoles dans d’autres régions. Il sera également l’occasion de relier les parcelles de démonstration du NRC au programme CCAB en tant que ressource de formation, source de futurs produits de connaissance (KP) et plateforme de mise en réseau.

The African Organic Network (AfrONet) in collaboration with the organic agriculture actors in Africa, the African Union Commission and other strategic organizations outside Africa present a three-day conference titled “Strengthening Resilient and Sustainable Food Systems in Africa Through Organic Agriculture”. The event will include conferences focused on information exchanges from Policymakers, Farmers’, Value Chain and Marketing, and Research viewpoint. Meetings and Field trips to renowned organic farms will take place as a side event. This event will culminate in a General Assembly.
