Food systems provide a wider lens, addressing the connections between food, health, employment, incomes, environment and the well-being of human communities.
◗ Led by the Government of Andhra Pradesh, CIRAD and FAO, AgroEco2050 is a collective future-building exercise engaging scientists, farmers, policymakers and institutions.
◗ It unveils hidden realities, processes, actors and parameters to explore broader visions for sustainable food systems by 2050.
◗ It builds on a huge diversity of data and knowledge to help democratic societies shape the futures they desire, rather than predicting or prescribing it.
AgroEco2050 aimed to clarify and quantify two different visions of what agriculture, food, nature, jobs and welfare in Andhra Pradesh might look like in 2050. One vision was based on the intensification of conventional industrial farming, while the other was based on taking natural farming (agroecology) to scale. The goal was to compare and understand the implications of these two different pathways and verify their coherence.
