Residential Training Programme: Leveraging Agroecology for Livelihood

Agriculture faces growing challenges from climate change, biodiversity loss, declining soil health and changing markets. Agroecology offers a pathway to build more climate-resilient farming systems while conserving biodiversity, strengthening livelihoods, and creating new opportunities for farmers.

Centre for Science and Environment (CSE) organized a two-day training programme to help practitioners explore practical approaches to agroecology and biodiversity-based livelihoods. The training brought together experiences and solutions from across India. The deliberations at the programme are expected to inform recommendations for policy improvement.

The training aimed to create a cadre of practitioners who:

• Understand the importance of agrobiodiversity for farming, food systems and livelihoods
• Explore practical agroecological approaches that enhance climate resilience
• Learn from successful experiences
• Understand opportunities for value addition, product development and market access
• Know ways to leverage policy and institutional support
• Are a part of networks for collaboration and knowledge exchange
• The practitioner will also get access to a wealth of CSE resources and content material.
