Advancing ecological organic agriculture in Africa
State of scientific evidence and recommendations
Description
Based on the lessons learnt from farming systems research, pursuant to the goals of sustainable development, the topics covered and policy recommendations provided in this brief are relevant to agricultural policies at the national and regional level, as well as to the actors in specific commodities and sectors, organic value chains, and standards. This brief considers how the results of three projects, SysCom, ProEcoAfrica and OFSA, can inform the debates on the future of organic agricultural development in Africa.
This policy brief is a part of a series of knowledge products covering further topics, such as: the ecological organic approach, pest and disease control, productivity, soil, profitability and biodiversity. All products are available in Organic Eprints.
