Agroecology is fundamentally different from other approaches to sustainable development. It is based on bottom-up and territorial processes, helping to deliver contextualized solutions to local problems.
Plantain, Its Importance and Health Benefits
In Africa, plantains and bananas provide more than 25% of food energy requirements for over 70 million people.
