Agroecology
Background
Agroecology is about producing food while preserving the land that feeds it and the people who work it. More than a practice, it is a way of life. It integrates a set of agricultural practices based on the use of elements available in nature to develop agro-pastoral production while preserving the soil and the environment as a whole.
Since 2017, SAILD has been working in the Far North and East regions with disadvantaged population for the implementation of agroecology in their agricultural and nutritional practices. While waiting for a national strategy to promote sustainable agriculture, SAILD produces and disseminates information on the relevance of agroecology in the farming environment.
