Scientific evidence is barely available as such research usually focused on the North. Unique results of 12 years’ comparative on-station and on-farm research in Kenya, Ghana, Uganda, Bolivia, and India will be presented, highlighting productivity, profitability, and sustainability benefits and trade-offs that organic systems and other agroecological approaches offer to society and the environment. The discussion will reflect on policy recommendations towards selected SDG’s with a particular focus on smallholders.
