The project will advocate for Agroecology (AE) within the production systems, which will prove advantageous for womenby enhancing their productivity without reliance on external inputs, allowing for crop diversification, and expanding market opportunities. Taking a holistic food systems approach, the project will address the challenges of climate change, revitalize agrobiodiversity, and cultivate seed systems tailored to smallholder farmer contexts through participatory plant breeding. Furthermore, it will tackle policy and climate justice issues that hinder the resilience of smallholder farmers. Linking local initiatives to national, regional, and global actions, the evidence generated through local efforts, mutual learning, and capacity building will contribute tonational and global discussions and agenda setting within forums such as the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD), International Treaty for Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture (ITPGRFA), and United Nations Declaration on the Rights…
