Multiple covariate shocks such as the COVID-19 pandemic, Russia–Ukraine conflict, and pre-existing climate pose serious threats to smallholder livelihoods. The cascading effects of these multiple shocks, including rising prices fertilizers food imports, have rekindled interest in call for a policy shift toward agroecology. Agroecology this study is defined set practices based on ecological principles diversity, synergy, nutrient cycling agroecosystems, which are capable enhancing resilience security while providing ecosystem services. Proponents agroecology paradigm argue that it more sustainable resilience-enhancing. Yet, nexus among agroecology, resilience, less understood literature. Therefore, aimed review existing literature examine how could enhance smallholders. A systematic search was performed Web Science, Scopus, PubMed three keywords, viz. security. Following 2020 preferred reporting items meta-analysis (PRISMA) guidelines review, 47 articles were retained final review. results provide empirical evidence supports potential agroecological This proposes framework links security, showing interplay all dimensions agroecology—the science, policy, practices—relevant successful transitioning or transformation identifying gaps further research.

Introduction Adapting fertilizer use is crucial if smallholder agroecosystems are to attain the sustainable development goals of zero hunger and agroecosystem resilience. Poor soil health nutrient variability characterize farming systems. However, current research at field scale does not account for across landscape positions, posing significant challenges targeted management interventions. The purpose this was create a demand-driven co-development approach diagnosing farmer practices determining landscape-specific (hillslope, mid-slope, foot slope) applications teff wheat. Method A segmentation aimed address gaps in farm-scale as well limitations blanket recommendations meet local requirements. This incorporates concept interconnected socio-technical systems concepts procedures co-development. smart mobile app used by extension agents generate crop-specific decision rules forward specific target farmers through SMS messages or print formats. Results discussion findings reveal that apply more hillslopes less mid- slopes. application guided via resulted much higher yield improvements, 23% 56% slopes 21% 6.5% mid wheat teff, respectively. optimized net benefit per hectare increase over recommendation $176 $333 $159 $64 (average $90 $107 teff), results benefit-to-cost ratio (BCR) demonstrated applying landscape-targeted an optimum return on investment ($10.0 profit $1.0 investment) while also enhancing efficiency three positions. Farmers now cognizant need reduce rates increasing them parcels foot-slope landscapes, which have responses profits. As result, digital advisory optimize gives agronomic, economic, environmental benefits. outcomes innovation contribute overcoming site-specific low efficiency, they potential be scaled complementing innovations scaling factors integrated.
