Musa K. Muwanga - The Case of Agro-Ecological Farming for Food Security in East AfricaVideo from the conference "Only Agro-Ecological Farming Can Feed The World Sustainably", which was held at Faculty of Science, KU the 2nd of September 2014.The conference was organised by Agro-Økologisk Netværk. You can find more information about Agro-Ecology at our homepage: http://agrookologisknetvaerk.dk/Musa K. Muwanga is Chief Executive Officer in National Organic Agricultural Movement of Uganda (NOGAMU).

As part of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, achieving a world without hunger and malnutrition calls for urgent action to make agriculture more sustainable, productive and resilient.

The impacts of climate change are further increasing uncertainties and vulnerabilities facing farmers and communities.

Integrated, cross sectoral approaches like agroecology are an important element in the transition process, reducing the environmental footprint of agriculture to guarantee healthy ecosystems that can ensure food and nutrition security for all.

On the base of case studies and interviews from farmers, researchers and decisions makers from France, Mali, Hungary , Argentina this video show how agroecology and political will can help build more resilient farming systems and question the future requirements to up-scale these solutions.

In honour of Black History Month 2021, relive the magic of Baaba Maal’s historic February 2020 residency at the Museum. Watch this video to experience highlights from the Senegalese music legend’s Duniya Salaam concerts, a celebration of diversity and world peace.

Performing on two consecutive nights in the Museum's Auditorium, Maal shared soaring melodies, rhythms, and stories that have made him one of the world’s most renowned musicians. The Senegalese singer, guitarist, and percussionist's performances both centred around the theme of Duniya Salaam, which translates to "world peace."

Maal’s shows were part of an Artist Residency at the Museum that also saw him leading youth workshops and take part in a public discussion about music’s role in uniting cultures.
 
Baaba’s Maal Duniya Salaam is presented in collaboration with the Embassy of the Republic of Senegal in Canada.

Burkina Faso is a special country; one that is characterized not by its economy or its nature, but by the people that inhabit it. Diversity is unequivocally Burkina Faso’s strong suite as difference takes place in co-existence. What makes this interesting for an architect is that the large variety of ethnic groups is paired with the creativity portrayed in the spatial environment.

Understanding the natural, cultural and social context in which Burkinabé citizens live will provide us with the tools to design better, more affordable and more culturally sensitive housing solutions. Comprehending their daily life is of high importance if the urbanizing population is to accept, apply, use and create new, more effective housing typologies.

This documentary shows the strength local architecture has and the inevitable change that the country is facing. Fusing both the vernacular and an African modernity offers viable solutions to the spatial development of the country’s urban growth.
I hope you enjoy it!
