Exploring #BurkinaFaso 's agroecological initiatives was enlightening for our #WestAfrica team! They visited Diabo's VSLA women's group, Tibga's farming areas, and more for an enriching and insightful visit!

Modern ag practices, ie #GreenRevolution technologies & export-oriented crops, caused environmental/social crises & threatened #foodsovereignty . Urgent action is needed to restore traditional farming practices and protect ecosystems & #foodsovereignty

Our #WestAfrica team recently visited #Urbanet and The Center for Ecological Agricultural and Livelihoods - #CEAL - in #Ghana to gain insights into advancements they've achieved in agroecological innovations.

Water can lead us out of crisis. We can foster harmony between communities and countries by uniting around the fair and sustainable use of water. #WorldWaterDay #WaterForPeace

Water can create peace or spark conflict. When water is scarce/polluted, or people struggle for access, tensions can rise. By cooperating on water, we can balance everyone’s water needs and help stabilize the world. #WorldWaterDay
