Kenya is set to host the second Eastern Africa Agroecology conference next week starting from 25 to 28 March at a Nairobi hotel.

The conference, themed 'Strengthening Agri food system transformation for resilience, sustainability, and socio- economic development' aims to harness the potential of agroecology in transforming and sustaining resilient agri-food systems.

The event organized by Biovision Africa Trust, the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock Development, and over twenty partners, is leveraging on the African Union Ecological Organic Agriculture (EOA) initiative.

The EOA initiative promotes sustainable organic farming systems to improve food security, agricultural productivity and livelihoods across Africa while safeguarding the environment.
