LEISA | September 2009
During the recent World Summit on Food Security in Rome and the Conference on Climate Change in Copenhagen, delegates from all over the world tackled the most crucial problems the world is facing today. Agriculture is at the heart of it all: Farming Matters!
For twenty-!ve years, ILEIA has been facilitating the exchange of knowledge about low external input and sustainable agriculture(LEISA). This was motivated by the realisation that Green Revolution technologies, even though successful in high potential areas, had increased disparities between farmers and bypassed hugenumbers of farmers in ecologically diverse and often fragile areas.
