About the National Agroecology Symposium
The National Agroecology Symposium (NAS) is Kenya’s flagship multi-stakeholder platform for advancing agroecology as a pathway for transforming agrifood systems.
The 3rd NAS (2026) builds on the momentum of the 1st and 2nd Symposia, which successfully convened diverse actors, generated policy dialogue, and culminated in a national Call to Action. NAS 2026 responds to emerging lessons by prioritizing focused sessions, farmer-centered engagement, policy follow-through, and inclusive participation.

Background & Context
Kenya’s food systems are increasingly affected by interconnected global and local shocks — climate variability, biodiversity loss, land degradation, rising input costs, and geopolitical disruptions to supply chains.
Agroecology offers a transformative response. Anchored in the One Health approach, it promotes integrated solutions that enhance livelihoods, restore ecosystems, and strengthen resilience across human, animal, and environmental systems.
The symposium aligns with Kenya’s National Agroecology Strategy for Food Systems Transformation (2024–2033) and supports its transition from policy development to implementation at national and county levels.
Overall Goal
To position agroecology at the center of Kenya’s agrifood systems transformation by catalyzing action towards resilient, inclusive, and sustainable food systems through strengthened partnerships, knowledge exchange, and policy engagement.
Specific Objectives
- – Facilitate knowledge exchange on practical agroecological innovations.
- – Strengthen policy dialogue to accelerate strategy implementation.
- – Showcase agroecological technologies, models, and market linkages.
- – Promote inclusive participation of women, youth, and pastoralists.
- – Generate actionable outputs, including a policy brief and Call to Action.
