In order to close existing knowledge gaps, various research organizations have been working on documenting and assessing the socio-economic viability of agroecological practices in Africa. The results will be presented at a forum from December 5 to 7 in Dakar (Senegal) and shared with the public online. Researchers, civil society and politicians will discuss the results and share their findings and perspectives.   <\/p>\n\n<p>This forum is organized by the &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.fao.org\/agroecology\/database\/detail\/en\/c\/1376154\/\">Transformative Partnership Platform for Agroecology<\/a>&#8221; initiative, TPP for short, which the LED has been supporting since summer 2023. With regard to its new focus topic &#8220;Sustainable food systems with a focus on agroecology&#8221;, the LED wants to promote agroecological methods in research and practice. &#8220;Agroecology is the chance for many African countries to achieve a better food system without repeating the ecological mistakes of industrialized countries. It is important to bring everyone together &#8211; politicians, producers and consumers,&#8221; explains LED Managing Director Andreas Sicks.    <\/p>\n\n<p>Click here to register for the forum  <\/p>\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cifor-icraf.org\/event\/documenting-and-evaluating-the-socio-economic-viability-of-agroecological-practices-across-africa\/\">&#8220;Documentation and assessment of the socio-economic viability of agroecological practices in Africa&#8221;.<\/a><\/p>\n\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"403\" class=\"gb-media-bc9020f0\" alt=\"Frau erntet Fr\u00fcchte in afrikanischer Plantage, Konferenzdetails sichtbar\" title=\"TPP Event\" src=\"https:\/\/led.li\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/TPP-Event-768x403.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/led.li\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/TPP-Event-768x403.jpg 768w, https:\/\/led.li\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/TPP-Event-300x158.jpg 300w, https:\/\/led.li\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/TPP-Event-1024x538.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/led.li\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/TPP-Event-1536x806.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/led.li\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/TPP-Event.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Agroecology (A\u00d6) has also been promoted as a promising path for smallholder agriculture in Africa for several years.
