Agroecology is paying off in Burkina Faso.

Farmers using advanced nature-friendly practices saw 77 percent higher yields, 67 percent higher net incomes, more food reserves, and significantly less debt than conventional farmers, according to a new report.

Even in communities facing drought, flooding, displacement, and food insecurity, these practices are helping farmers restore soils, conserve water, and build more resilient livelihoods.

A growing body of scientific research warns that climate change is not only threatening overall food production but is also actively reducing the nutritional value of major staple crops, such as rice, wheat, maize, potatoes, and cassava. This environmental shift exacerbates "hidden hunger"—a critical global issue in which more than two billion people consume enough calories yet remain malnourished due to a lack of essential vitamins and minerals.

🌱 Introducing Soil, Environment & Climate Consultancy (SCEC)

We are pleased to introduce SCEC—an independent consultancy committed to translating scientific knowledge into practical solutions for sustainable agriculture, environmental protection, and climate resilience.
Our guiding vision is simple:
“Healthy Soils and Healthy Planet”
Agriculture and environmental sustainability are deeply interconnected. Soil degradation, inefficient use of nutrients and water, pollution, biodiversity loss, and climate change require integrated solutions grounded in science and responsive to local needs.
SCEC aims to serve as a bridge between science, policy, and practice—from local farming systems to regional and global sustainability agendas.
Our work will focus on:
• Soil health, fertility, and sustainable nutrient management
• Climate-smart and resilient agriculture
• Environmental sustainability and impact assessment
• Efficient management of land, water, and agricultural resources
• Research design, data analysis, and technical reporting
• Policy advice, capacity building, and stakeholder engagement

We are particularly interested in developing regional and global partnerships with international organizations, UNEP and other United Nations agencies, development partners, not-for-profit organizations, research networks, universities, government agencies, agribusinesses, NGOs, and farming communities.

We welcome opportunities for joint projects, grant writeup, technical assignments, research collaborations, policy dialogue, capacity-building programmes, and multidisciplinary initiatives that connect global knowledge with locally appropriate solutions.
Through this page, we will share scientific insights, practical solutions, consultancy services, training opportunities, project updates, and possibilities for collaboration.
Follow our page and connect with us to explore how we can work together for sustainable agriculture, resilient communities, and a healthier planet.
