Agri Peace
About Agri Peace
Agri Peace is a pioneering program developed by the Congo Peace Academy to revolutionize sustainable agriculture practices in the DRC and beyond. At Agri Peace, we believe that cultivating the earth should not only nourish communities but also foster harmony and stability. Our program is designed to empower local farmers with the knowledge, tools, and resources they need to cultivate crops in ways that respect the environment, promote social cohesion, and contribute to lasting peace. Through a combination of hands-on training, educational workshops, and community engagement initiatives, Agri Peace equips farmers with sustainable farming techniques that enhance soil health, conserve water, and minimize the use of harmful chemicals.
Conservation farming
We reject the outdated practice of providing aid to communities assumed to be impoverished, as it fosters dependency, stifles productivity, and discourages self-sufficiency. Instead, we champion climate-smart conservation farming methods that empower farmers to thrive on any land, shifting from aid reliance to sustainable self-reliance.
Through this approach, we restore and protect soil health for future generations, fostering resilience and prosperity in harmony with the environment. By integrating agroforestry, organic farming, and water conservation, Agri Peace participants not only improve their livelihoods but also contribute to a more resilient and peaceful society. With this vision, we are sowing the seeds of change and cultivating agriculture as a force for lasting transformation.
