AFSA’s Programmes and Networking Coordinator, Bridget Mugambe, joined government authorities, global movement leaders, and civil society partners in a high-level panel on Territorial Agroecology Networks: Integrating Climate Resilience with Food and Nutritional Security. The session highlighted how territorial #agroecology, supported by public policies, is driving climate justice, food sovereignty, and resilient local food systems, with lessons drawn from Brazil and global alliances.
In her remarks, Bridget highlighted AFSA’s major continental initiatives that are strengthening #agroecology as a just #climate solution. These include the #SeedIsLife Campaign promoting farmer managed seed systems, the Healthy Soil Healthy Food Initiative implemented through 15 soil learning centres across Africa to regenerate soils using biofertilisers and biopesticides strictly through an agroecological approach, and the #MyFoodIsAfrican Campaign celebrating traditional African cuisines for healthy diets, cultural revival, and sustainable food systems. She emphasised that food is more than what is on our plate , it is political, and our choices impact the planet, the communities growing food, and the farmers who nourish us.
In her intervention, Bridget shared AFSA’s continental advocacy to position agroecology as a just climate action and to institutionalize agroecology within global climate frameworks, including under the #UNFCCC processes. She underscored the power of social movements, youth and women leadership, community-driven knowledge, and solidarity networks across Africa.
