Ecoagriculture recognizes agricultural producers and communities as key stewards of ecosystems and biodiversity. This video and associated materials explain the main concepts behind the ecoagriculture strategy.
This case study centers on growing demand for water resources in the agricultural sector worldwide and the role of ‘precision irrigation’ in meeting these demands while promoting sustainable agricultural livelihoods and ecosystem health.
This case looks at how researchers and government officials in Western China are working with local herders to identify effective grassland management strategies on the Qinghai Tibetan Plateau.
This case explores the concept of 'territorial development' within the context of the northern zone of Costa Rica. It looks specifically at the work of IICA to bring benefits for local populations while improving the environmental condition.
The Network of Sustainable Livelihoods Catalysts has launched an MPA program in Lamit Bay, Philippines, to care for its marine diversity and improve the livelihoods of local fishermen who rely upon the area's reef for their survival.
This case looks at how the local food system came about in Ithaca, New York, and how the Ecoagriculture Landscape Measures framework may be used to evaluate its further development and impacts.
This case provides an in-depth look at the Landscape Measures Approach to assessing the sustainability of a landscape and provides an overview of how it was applied in the Rio Copan watershed of Honduras.
