Its goal is to integrate sustainability (economic, social and environmental) into food systems. It aims to achieve this by applying ecological concepts and principles to farming systems, focusing on interactions between plants, animals, humans and the environment for food security and nutrition. To harness the sustainability benefits that arise from agroecological approaches, an enabling environment is required, including adapted policies, institutions and research priorities. Based on the 3 pillars of sustainable development, agroecology is aligned with FAO’s common vision for sustainable food and agriculture. FAO is therefore prompting dialogue at global and regional level on agroecology’s benefits, challenges and opportunities, with a view to accelerating operationalisation of agroecological approaches. Through this webinar/seminar we aim to open the discussion on the role of livestock in agroecology and on ideas for activities to address livestock within the FAO initiatives addressing agroecology.
