 Agricultural systems around the world are being affected by climate change and human activities. Dry lands are particularly sensitive and face major challenges. Drought, soil depletion, erosion, food insecurity, exodus and extreme poverty. Yet, solutions for the diversity of contexts exist. Sustainable agriculture models based on agroecological approaches adapt to climate change and limit the risks to people. The AvaClim project, led by Cari, with the financial support of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, the Global Environment Facility and the French Facility for Global Environment studies and evaluates agroecological initiatives in the world's dry lands that adopt effective climate change adaptation strategies and provide concrete responses to the sustainable development goals. The partners of the AvaClim project are members of the Civil Society of Scientists. They have identified agroecological initiatives from seven countries. They have characterized them with the help of scientists and they have evaluated them. Today we are going to present you results in terms of adaptation to climate change. Despite their diversity, these initiatives share common characteristics along four dimensions. Ecosystem health. They maintain ecosystem health and increased soil carbon storage, contributing to climate change adaptation and mitigation, while efficiently preserving renewable productive resources in dry lands. Agroecology is how it helps. Agroecology prevents from continuing to degrade soil. It takes care of the soil, with more organic material, with more vegetable coverage. They make the systems productive and economically viable. Farms are less vulnerable to climate crisis, productivity increases, people's incomes rise and poverty is reduced. The combination of agroecological practices in Morocco has allowed the increase of the security of the production, despite the climatic alliances, the diversification of production, the control of the production costs, while trying to improve the steps for family agricultural exploitation. They promote access to healthy food and contributes to the empowerment of rural women and youth. We are very busy with the supply chain. Our climate system is under control. We don't need to work for the family. It can't be done. We can operate, but we can not, as we saw in the last 5 years. Resilience. They support autonomy, diversity management, organization and networking. In the current context, enhanced resilience is essential. This can be achieved in numerous ways including reorganising production systems or organising actors in a more effective way. However, the sustainable agricultural models often lack political commitment and financial support presenting challenges to their promotion and implementation. To overcome the current limitations, fight against desertification and preserve the planet, the international community must take action now. Policymakers and donors should prioritise and implement our ecological systems as a means to sustain the resilience of agricultural systems, especially in dry lands. In line with the 2030 Agenda, there is a need for action-oriented collaboration amongst the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification, UNCCD and countries too. Encourage the development of efficient, resilient and life-friendly agricultural initiatives. Support the adoption of appropriate mechanisms for monitoring their commitments. Together, it's possible. Let's make change happen.
