Topic outline
The substantial rise in agricultural output required to sustain the world’s growing population is increasingly activating degradation processes that threaten valuable ecosystem services. Agricultural Ecosystem-based Solutions (AgEbS) can enhance production efficiency while simultaneously protecting and restoring the environmental resources’ productive capacity. This two-lesson course provides a comprehensive overview of AgEbS and introduces the AgEbS tool in applying these solutions.
This course will benefit a diverse audience, such as:
- Policy makers and government technical staff
- Small-scale producer organizations/ civil society organizations
- Workers and workers’ organizations
- How Nature-based Solutions (NbS) and the ecosystem approach (EA) created the foundation for AgEbS.
- The role of AgEbS in mitigating land and water degradation while enhancing food security.
- The barriers to mainstreaming AgEbS in national and international agricultural development agendas.
- The AgEbS tool and its flexible format that is applicable to a variety of AgEbS interventions.
- The processes necessary for the AgEbS tools including Theory of Change, scoring Key Performance Indicators and monitoring and evaluation.
This course consists of two lessons of approximately 30 minutes each:
