APFP-FO4A Regional Wrap-Up: Panel Discussion on Agro-ecology and Climate Resiliency APFP-FO4A Regional Wrap-Up Panel Discussion on Agro-ecology and Climate Resiliency Theme: “Agro-ecology: Practices, Challenges, and Scaling Up” 25 February, 2026 | Jakarta, Indonesia Rationale The panel on “Agro-ecology and Climate Resiliency” tackles the urgent crisis hitting smallholder farmers in Asia hardest: extreme heat, erratic rains, brutal droughts, devastating floods, rising salinity, and violent storms that threaten food security, livelihoods, and biodiversity. Conventional farming—chemical-heavy and resource-intensive—often worsens soil degradation and vulnerability. Agro-ecology offers a powerful alternative: a nature-aligned approach that builds resilient, regenerative systems. By working with natural processes, restoring soil health, boosting biodiversity, and integrating local and indigenous knowledge, it helps farms adapt and thrive amid climate chaos. This timely discussion shares real-world successes, bridges knowledge gaps, and fuels action to scale these solutions quickly. The panel is a call to turn proven practices into widespread reality before the climate crisis deepens further. Join the conversation—the future of food and farming depends on it. Objectives Showcase effective agro-ecological practices that build climate resilience, with relevant examples for smallholder farmers in Asia. Examine key challenges and barriers to adopting agro-ecology in climate-vulnerable Asian contexts. Explore strategies and enabling conditions to scale agro-ecological approaches locally, nationally, and regionally; foster interactive knowledge exchange;... https://asianfarmers.org/apfp-fo4a-regional-wrap-up-panel-discussion-on-agro-ecology-and-climate-resiliency/
