Agroecology delivers
“To feed 9 billion people in 2050, we urgently need to adopt the most efficient farming techniques available…Agroecology, done right, can produce just as much food, while conserving natural resources and improving ecological resilience.”
– Olivier de Schu]er, UN Special Rapporteur on the Right to Food, 2011
