FAO Commits Continued Support for Agroecology!

The Third World Network Reported today informing the news of FAO Commitment on AgroEcology!
At the International Symposium on Agroecology for Food Security and Nutrition, held at the Food and Agriculture Organisation's (FAO) headquarters in Rome on 18 and 19 September, 2014, stakeholders representing governments, civil society, science and academia, the private sector, and the UN system gathered to discuss the contribution of agroecology to sustainable food systems. The Proceedings have been published and are available at: http://www.fao.org/publications/card/en/c/d1f541b5-39b8-4992-b764-7bdfffb5c63f/
The Director-General of the FAO, Jos้ Graziano da Silva, in his Foreword to the Proceedings report, writes, "While past efforts focused on boosting agricultural output to produce more food, today’s challenges – including climate change – demand a new approach. Agroecology offers the possibility of win-win solutions. FAO sees agroecology as a positive contribution to the eradication of hunger and extreme poverty, and a means to facilitate the transition to more productive, sustainable and inclusive food systems."

This is a good news and we expect FAO and respective Governments keep their promises.
Mohommed Ali Sha, the Co-Chair of the WFFP proposed at the WFFP CC meeting at the Agro Ecology session that, WFFP should take a stand on Aquatic Ecology as Agro Ecology is an alien word for fishing communities. The idea of Aquatic Ecology should be further discussed and conceptualize to understand the people engage in fishing and related activities.
