The results of the Sufosec Alliance’s second nutrition report are promising. The study, which was carried out in the 29 countries of the alliance, has made it clear that despite repeated crises (Covid-19, inflation, war, climate crisis), hunger has decreased in the most vulnerable regions of the world. This is largely thanks to agroecology and the international cooperation that makes these projects possible.
Find out more about the report’s encouraging findings and what they mean for the living conditions of vulnerable people. Experts in agroecology will complement the panel discussion with inputs.
