Agroecology gains central focus during second Leadership Forum

Over one hundred of Africa’s leading and emerging leaders in agriculture met in a two-day virtual forum last week to discuss issues related to environmental sustainability. The Forum was convened by the Centre for African Leaders in Agriculture (CALA), an AGRA-led initiative, and was the second installment of the ongoing CALA Leadership Forum series.
Participants and speakers, drawn from government, private sector and civil society, engaged under the theme: “Collaborative Leadership for Environmental Sustainability and Agroecology in African Agriculture”. The Forum focused on the need for a combination of innovative solutions like agroecology, and the protection of the natural environment through effective soil and water management practices.
