Living soils
Keep soils covered, reduce disturbance and build organic matter to improve infiltration, fertility and drought resilience.
Agroecology & climate adaptation
Building resilient, productive and regenerative farming systems
Agroecology brings together ecosystem knowledge, farming practices and local experience to produce sustainably, restore natural resources and respond better to climate risks.
Agroecology connects production, resilience and regeneration
An agroecological transition is not a single recipe. It is the design of farming systems that fit a territory, its soils, climate, water resources and the people who depend on them. This approach can reduce vulnerabilities while improving ecosystem health, livelihoods and the capacity to adapt.
Levers for change
Six levers to strengthen agricultural resilience
The most effective practices are combined, monitored over time and adapted to local realities.
Better water retention
Slow runoff, restore water cycles and improve water use to respond to droughts and intense rainfall.
Diversification
Combine crops, varieties, rotations and livestock where relevant to spread risk and support biodiversity.
Agroforestry
Bring back trees, hedgerows and agroecological infrastructure to create habitats, protect soils and regulate microclimates.
Impact measurement
Track soil, water, biodiversity, productivity and income indicators to learn and improve practices.
Local ownership
Co-design solutions with farmers, organizations and territories so they remain relevant, adopted and durable.

What is the difference between agroecology and regenerative agriculture?
Agroecology draws on ecological principles and the social, economic and territorial dimensions of farming systems. Regenerative agriculture places particular emphasis on restoring soils, biodiversity and natural cycles. The two approaches can complement each other.
How does agroecology support climate adaptation?
It reduces vulnerabilities by improving soil health, water retention, crop diversity, functional biodiversity and farmers’ ability to adjust practices to local conditions.
How can an agroecological transition be measured?
A useful framework combines environmental, agricultural, economic and social indicators: soil health, water use, biodiversity, yield, income, resilience and practice adoption.
Turning knowledge into decisions and results
From strategy to implementation, we combine sector expertise, data, artificial intelligence and ecosystem mobilisation to accelerate transitions.
