Le projet agro-écologique porte une ambition claire : dépasser les oppositions autour de la question du modèle de croissance de notre agriculture et inscrire l’évolution de notre agriculture et des filières agricoles et agroalimentaires dans un cadre tourné vers l’avenir et adapté aux nombreux défis que nous devons relever. Cette approche est d’autant plus nécessaire qu’il n’existe plus, de fait, de modèle unique d’exploitations ; celles-ci sont très diversifiées et de moins en moins semblables les unes aux autres. L’agro-écologie est un véritable projet pour l’agriculture.

The USAID Building Agribusiness Capacity in East Timor (BACET) program was extended for three additional years in September 2008.

Nouvel instrument communautaire mobilisant la politique de recherche et la PAC, le PEI entend susciter des partenariats entre les acteurs du développement, de l’enseignement agricole, les agriculteurs, les chercheurs et les entreprises. En cela, il reflète l’évolution récente du cadre de pensée des institutions internationales, qui voient dans l’innovation agricole moins le produit de la recherche et du transfert de connaissances que le résultat d’interactions entre acteurs au sein de réseaux plus ou moins formels.
Le secteur agricole est le premier employeur au niveau mondial et les actifs familiaux forment l'essentiel de cette force de travail. L'agriculture familiale produit plus de 70 % de la production alimentaire et gère une proportion considérable des ressources naturelles. Ce modèle d'agriculture caractérisé par sa diversité et sa résilience, a la capacité de proposer des réponses adaptées aux défis alimentaires, sociaux et environnementaux. La reconnaissance et le soutien aux agricultures familiales sont indispensables pour lutter contre la pauvreté et construire un développement durable.
