Agroecological Governance for Resilient Agriculture in Africa: Scaling through Living Labs and Lighthouses

Objetivo

AGORAfrica accelerates agroecological transitions across Africa and Mediterranean through a multi-level, transdisciplinary approach that bridges science, policy, and practice. The project establishes 12 Agroecology Living Labs (ALLs) across diverse pedoclimatic and socio-economic contexts in Southern, Eastern, and Central Africa, as well as in North Africa and the Eastern Mediterranean. These ALLs operate as real-world innovation ecosystems where farmers, researchers, advisors, value chain actors, civil society, and policymakers co-design, test, and evaluate agroecological innovations. At the core of AGORAfrica lies structured, evidence-informed negotiation. Through iterative multi-actor dialogue processes, stakeholders define priorities, negotiate trade-offs, and agree on acceptable performance thresholds across productivity, livelihoods, equity, biodiversity, and climate resilience, supported by the Multi-Criteria and Multi-Scale Agroecology Assessment (MCMS-A+) framework, which provides the evidence base for informed negotiation and decision-making. The negotiated decision rules guide experimentation and adaptive learning. 135 Agroecology Lighthouses (ALHs) complement the ALLs as demonstration and learning hubs, fostering peer exchange, capacity building, and scale-out supported by Financial Support to Third Parties. Four regional Policy Innovation Labs (PILs) connect field experimentation to enabling policies through science–policy dialogue. The Agroecology Knowledge and Innovation Hub consolidates and disseminates methodologies, decision-support tools, abstracts, and audiovisual resources in accessible formats. An African Agroecology Living Labs Network connects ALLs, ALHs, PILs, and other initiatives into a continental platform for replication, knowledge exchange, and policy integration. By project end, over 17,000 farmers are expected to adopt validated practices, delivering improved incomes, enhanced climate resilience, and strengthened biodiversity.
