Sustainable and Inclusive Agriculture

Sustainable and Inclusive Agriculture

ACIEDafrica understands the socio-economic importance of investing in agriculture and food security to promote Africa’s inclusive growth and development agenda. For us, growth is inclusive when it enables the majority of the members of a society to participate in, benefit from and contribute to the growth process. Agriculture could, therefore, be an important means of stimulating employment, incomes and achieving better living standards when the otherwise disadvantaged and marginalized rural poor living below the poverty line start to experience improvement in productivity and decent employment.
ACIEDafrica’s sector intervention outcome will be to promote a sustainable and inclusive agri-food system that increases agricultural productivity, income, enhances resilience of people and their, communities, and pursues lower emissions, contributing to improved food security, stability, and healthy diets.

Our approach is based on five principles that balance the social, economic and environmental dimensions of sustainability.

1. Increase productivity, employment and value addition in food systems
2. Promote adaptation of Climate-Smart Practices and Technologies and Effective Natural Resources Management
3. Improve livelihoods and foster inclusive economic growth
4. Enhance the resilience of people, communities and agriculture ecosystems
5. Promote sector coalition building and partnership with stakeholders in the sector to foster sound agriculture, food and nutrition security policies and enabling environment for the development of entrepreneurship, improved business support services particularly to benefit the smallholder farmers, and agro-entrepreneurs with priority to vulnerable farmers;
6. Effectively mainstream gender and inclusion considerations into agri-food system programmatic interventions.
