Healthy Soil for Healthy Communities - An Introduction to Soil Health Practices for Africa

The Alliance for Food Sovereignty in Africa (AFSA) is a broad alliance of civil society actors who are part of the struggle for food sovereignty and agroecology in Africa. AFSA brings together farmers, pastoralists, fishers, indigenous peoples, faith groups, women’s movements, youth, and consumer associations from across Africa to create a united and louder voice for food sovereignty. It is a network of networks operating in 50 African countries. https://afsafrica.org/

The Seed and Knowledge Initiative (SKI) is a dynamic partnership of diverse Southern African organisations committed to securing food sovereignty and agroecology in the region. SKI partners work with smallholder farmers to become more seed, food, and nutritionally secure through farmer-led seed systems, improved crop diversity, and the revival of local knowledge systems within the context of supportive agricultural, cultural and ecological practices. While the partnership has relationships with several organisations and individuals all over the world, its primary stakeholders are the farmers in Malawi, South Africa, Zambia, and Zimbabwe SKI partners work with. https://www.seedandknowledge.org/
