Capacity strengthening for scaling agroecology+ Innovations and advancing the national agroecology strategy of Ethiopia

The Capacity Strengthening for Scaling Agroecology+ Innovations workshop was held in Wolaita Sodo on 31 August 2026, combining an introduction to Agroecology+ and Ethiopia’s National Agroecology Strategy for Food System Transformation
(2026–2040) with participatory group work. The sessions highlighted locally adapted Agroecology+ practices such as crop diversification, agroforestry, soil and water conservation, integrated crop–livestock systems, water harvesting, seed systems
and landscape restoration, while the Strategy provided the policy framework for their promotion and scaling. Building on these discussions, participants identified relevant Agroecology+ solutions and developed practical priorities for piloting and
scaling them in their respective areas.
