ate Solution

Agroecology is a "holistic approach" to farming, includes intercropping and planting cover crops, integrating livestock and trees into landscapes, and deploying organic farming methods to enhance biodiversity and soil health while eliminating dependence on external inputs like pesticides and synthetic fertilizer. It's a nature-based solution that can "contribute to both climate mitigation and adaptation," the IPCC stresses. It's also a solution grounded in an embrace of the human rights of Indigenous and small-scale producers,
