SIA - Program "Feed Good Uganda" for sustainable food systems and a healthy environment

About this project

There is now a scientific consensus on the need for a radical change in our food systems to ensure food and nutritional security for all and to achieve the SDGs while preserving the environment (IAASTD, IPES-Food, IPBES, UN TEEBAgriFood, ...). Agroecological transition is one of the major ways of radically transforming food systems, as recommended by the Committee on Word Food Security (HLPE 2020 report). Indeed, agroecological principles emphasize the right to food and the active participation of vulnerable groups and women in food strategies, they promote regenerative practices and insist on diversity and resilience in the whole food system. In Uganda, the NGOs Iles de Paix and SOS Faim are committed to this approach. They combine their efforts to improve farmers and other social economic actors’ living conditions, in particular young people and women through strategies that support the food systems’ agroecological transition carried out by the same farmers and social economic actors with the support of citizens and the involvement of local and national authorities. The systemic approach adopted in the ToC of the programme allows to take into account the contexts in which the target groups evolve so that they can actively participate in the sustainable construction of their food system.
