Agroecology & Environment
Farming, biodiversity, water and nutrition are deeply connected. Our agroecology focus encourages locally grounded practices that nurture land and livelihoods together.
MCHI / 03It starts with people.
Climate pressures, land degradation and food insecurity can reinforce one another. Sustainable agriculture can protect natural resources while strengthening household nutrition and local economies.
We approach this priority as part of a larger system, connecting it to community participation, local knowledge and long-term wellbeing.
