The Intersectoral Forum on Agrobiodiversity and
Agroecology (ISFAA) is a national multistakeholder forum
that seeks to promote mainstreaming of biodiversity and
ecosystem services within the agriculture sector and its
landscapes through agroecology. 

Established in 2020, the main purpose of ISFAA is to enable stakeholders
from government, private sector, civil society, academia,
farmer groups, and the donor community working on
agroecology and agrobiodiversity to interact, dialogue,
share knowledge or information, mobilize resources
and influence policy and practice towards catalyzing
agroecological transformation of our agri-food systems.

ISFAA appreciates the need to consistently reposition
itself in the increasingly dynamic operating environment
to assure continued relevance and responsiveness. 

The Forum is hosted at the Ministry of Agriculture and
Livestock Development (MoALD). It brings together
stakeholders at the intersection of biodiversity
conservation and agricultural production to share
knowledge and information as well as influence policy.
It also implements programmes, and monitors progress
on mainstreaming biodiversity and ecosystem services
in the agricultural sector. 

ISFAA is equally committed to
supporting the development of innovative approaches
that support agrobiodiversity and agroecology
approaches, while effectively addressing the Climate
challenges on food systems.

The Forum’s work is implemented through seven
Thematic Working Groups (TWGs) which act as its think
tank. ISFAA’s work is governed by a multistakeholder
Steering Committee and coordinated by a secretariat
domiciled within the MoALD.
