Resumen
Descripción
Current food and agricultural systems have been successful in supplying large quantities of food to global markets. However, these systems are not capable of achieving sustainable development for all, as they heavily rely on external inputs and resource-intensive methods, which have led to environmental degradation and negative impacts on soil, water and biodiversity. To address this and in response to a demand presented by small-scale farmers and non-governmental organization (NGO) activists during the First Family Farmers Forum held in Sao Tome and Principe in 2015, this project was developed to promote sustainable family farming and agroecology within the Community of Portuguese Language Countries (CPLP). The project focused on establishing a "Centro de Competências da CPLP," namely a training centre on sustainable family farming, to provide technical training courses on agroecology to family farmers, government officials and NGOs. The centre's teaching methods were designed to integrate traditional knowledge while aiming to promote sustainability in agriculture. A second phase of the project was implemented in order to provide further support.
