The International “4 per 1000” Initiative, launched by France on 1 December 2015 at COP 21, aims to show that agriculture can provide concrete solutions to the challenge posed by climate change while meeting the challenge of food security through the implementation of agricultural practices adapted to local conditions: agroecology, agroforestry, conservation agriculture, landscape management, etc.
The initiative facilitates the development of concrete actions on the ground and encourages stakeholders to engage in a transition towards a regenerative, productive, highly resilient agriculture, based on appropriate land and soil management.
The initiative consists of federating all voluntary actors from the public and private sectors (States, local authorities, companies, professional organisations, NGOs, research establishments, etc.) within the framework of the Lima-Paris Action Plan.
