Following a successful day of proposal presentations, students participating in the Agroecology and Agrobiodiversity International Training Course (AAITC) 2026 demonstrated a strong understanding and appreciation of agroecology through innovative, practical, and solution-oriented proposals.
The presentations showcased the students’ ability to connect agroecological principles with real-world challenges facing farmers, food systems, and communities across East Africa. Their ideas reflected the growing role of young people in developing sustainable approaches to agriculture, agrobiodiversity conservation, climate resilience, and food security.
The session also provided an important learning opportunity, with students receiving constructive feedback and expert insights from the panellists. The feedback will help them refine their research questions, strengthen their methodologies, improve the clarity of their proposals, and enhance their potential impact.
The day highlighted the importance of creating platforms where young agroecology innovators can learn, share ideas, receive mentorship, and develop practical solutions for more resilient and sustainable food systems. Eoa Initiative Kcoa_khea
