Multi-stakeholder partnerships for the adoption of agroecological and climate-smart approaches in the cereal sector

In Tunisia, the cereal sector accounts for approximately 30 percent of the total agricultural land area and half of agricultural employment, but remains vulnerable to soil degradation, erosion, and climate change. The ProSol program (GIZ/BMZ), in collaboration with the General Directorate for Agricultural Land Planning and Conservation (DGACTA) and public partners (INGC, OEP, AVFA, ICARDA, INRAT), has developed a multi-stakeholder approach based on three pillars: the dissemination of agroecological and soil conservation practices through a network of lead and satellite farmers; improved access to equipment, services, and financing mechanisms; and the development of a community-based advisory support system (Innovative Cereal Training, FIC). More than 12,000 hectares have been protected or rehabilitated, resulting in a reduction in soil erosion of up to 60–62% and an increase in cereal yields of 20 to 25%.
