The FAO Family Farming & Agroecology Community of Practice in Africa is implementing a discussion on “The co-creation, sharing and dissemination of local innovations for healthy soils in Africa”, co-organized by key actors working for the promotion of family farming and agroecology in different regions and on different scales in Africa.
Through a moderated, structured, purpose-driven, and open access online discussion, this initiative aims at creating an inclusive space for sharing knowledge, experiences and lessons learnt, establishing synergies, connecting existing organizations and networks and encouraging proactive multi-stakeholder exchanges to enhance the community of practitioners on family farming and agroecology in Africa.
The discussion, that will be open from 20 April to 20 of May, is based on the background paper, which provides general framework on the theme and highlights key questions to be considered to build a shared understanding on the goals of the discussion.

The initiative is co-organized by Access Agriculture, Alliance for Food Sovereignty in Africa (AFSA), Biovision Africa Trust, FAO Family Farming Knowledge Platform, FAO Agroecology Knowledge Hub, FAO TECA Platform, Pan-African Farmers Organization (PAFO), and World Rural Forum.
