In the latest issue of Fly Namibia magazine (page 33), the Namibia Nature Foundation (NNF) explores the role of agroecology in shaping a more sustainable and resilient food system in Namibia. Agroecology goes beyond farming, it’s a holistic approach that integrates ecological principles, traditional knowledge, and community-led innovation to ensure food security while preserving the environment.

The article highlights how agroecology supports smallholder farmers by promoting practices that regenerate soil health, conserve water, and protect biodiversity. It also emphasises the importance of building local capacity, empowering communities to take ownership of their food systems, and reducing reliance on imported and resource-intensive inputs. Agroecology is not only a solution to climate-related challenges, but also a tool for enhancing rural livelihoods and food sovereignty.

As Namibia faces increasing environmental pressures and economic inequalities, agroecology presents a hopeful path forward. Read the full article to learn how this movement is gaining momentum across the country—and how it could be the key to a more sustainable future for both people and planet.
