Between February 7 and March 12, 2022, the \u201cDynamic for an Agroecological Transition in Senegal\u201d (DyTAES) carried out a caravan through 14 regions of the country to exchange with rural stakeholders and draft a new political document.

Agroecology is deemed beneficial for both food security and food systems\u2019 resilience to climate change in Sub-Sahara Africa. However, a systemic transition towards agroecology is far from straightforward, as the case of Senegal reveals. What are the current challenges of the country\u2019s agroecological movement and how can they be addressed? A national expert shares his insights.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

The food security challenge in Sub-Saharan Africa<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2020, 21% of the population of Sub-Saharan Africa were suffering from undernourishment.[1]<\/sup> The challenge of sufficient food provision will be accentuated by more frequent droughts, soil degradation and demographic growth.[2]<\/sup> In this context, agroecology is considered a suitable approach to increase food security and resilience to climate change in the region.[3][4] <\/sup>Senegal is one of the few Sub-Saharan African countries with a considerable agroecological movement and thus plays a leading role for the agroecological transition in the region.[5] <\/sup>How can this movement further boost the agroecological transition at the national level and turn Senegal into a role model for the region?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Agroecology for farmers empowerment?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

Mamadou Abdoulaye Sow is passionate about making the voices of Senegalese farming communities heard in the design of political programs to improve their living conditions (source: David Bugmann, 2022).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Mamadou Abdoulaye Sow is a project manager at ENDA Pronat, an active member organisation of the \u201cDynamic for an Agroecological Transition in Senegal\u201d (DyTAES) which is an influential national advocacy coalition founded in 2019 with more than 50 member organizations.[4][5] <\/sup>He highlights the importance of fostering the participation of farmers\u2019 organisations in the coalition to increase its legitimacy and impact. Research has shown that in the past, farmers\u2019 organisations played only a peripheral role in the movement as they have less financial and cultural capital than NGOs.[5] <\/sup>This limited the positive social impact of agroecology on farmers as they had to meet an uncoordinated set of new quality standards, did not gain better access to land, water, and productive assets, and could not participate equally in knowledge production processes.[6] <\/sup>However, DyTAES members are often reluctant to address more systemic, contentious concerns such as neoliberal agrarian policies and water rights issues since they fear to lose funding from international donors.[4]<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The importance of Alternative Food Networks<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Mamadou Abdoulaye, another pivotal challenge lies in establishing sales channels for agroecological products that yield higher prices than conventional produce.[4] <\/sup>The predominant approach entails third-party certification according to internationally set criteria, but this is often too costly for small-scale farmers and has shown limited effects in Sub-Saharan Africa.[4][7] <\/sup>One alternative approach consists in creating niche markets for environmentally aware consumers: ENDA Pronat for instance is accompanying producers of four farmers\u2019 organisations to implement the local certification system ASD (Healthy and Sustainable Agriculture), which delivers to three marketplaces in Dakar and targets expatriates and middle- and upper-income nationals.[4] <\/sup>Such Participatory Guarantee Schemes (PGS) reduce certification costs for farmers since they involve consumers\u2019 and farmers\u2019 associations and NGOs rather than third-party auditors.[8]<\/sup> The National Federation for Organic Agriculture (FENAB) has taken PGS one step further by founding BioSenegal, a formally recognised label based on the criteria of the International Federation of Organic Agriculture Movements (IFOAM). However, FENAB still focuses mainly on third-party certifications to increase the exported volumes of agroecological products and thereby reach larger consumer markets.[8]<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quo vadis, DyTAES?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

These two challenges reveal that Senegal\u2019s agroecological movement still has a long way to go. Transforming the national food system is complex since crucial drivers such as consumer preferences, corporate structures and power relations in the international cooperation landscape are not conducive to an agroecological transition which empowers farmers. A new approach would be certification accelerator programmes by international donors which support farmers\u2019 certification and thereby enable them to become financially self-sustaining in the mid-term. Furthermore, it would be valuable to investigate which political and organisational measures could strengthen Participatory Guarantee Schemes to enhance their uptake among farmers and consumers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
