TERRA Objectives
With family farmers, Indigenous Peoples, traditional and local communities as key protagonists – and having women and youth at its core – TERRA aims to scale up agroecology and agroforestry (AE/AF) systems to restore biodiversity, enhance climate resilience and mitigation potential, strengthen food and nutrition security, and generate decent rural incomes.
Why Believe, Invest in and Transition to Agroecology and Agroforestry?
Research shows that, when implemented at scale, AE/ AF can play a crucial role in addressing the climate crisis, significantly reducing emissions while sequestering carbon in the soil, improving soil health, water retention, and biodiversity. Diversified systems can also buffer climate shocks, reduce crop losses, and enhance adaptive capacity across rural and peri-urban areas, while supporting diverse and nutritious food production.
