      abstract = {Agroecological vegetable farming is considered to be  an  effective approach to reduce land degradation, carbon  emissions and agrochemical use, while improving  soil  organic matter, sustainability and resilience.  However,  supporting evidence is often lacking. The  Greener Greens  project aimed to enhance the income,  food security and  resilience of smallholder farmers with  agroecological  practices. It complemented the Veggies 4  Planet & People  initiative that fosters vegetable business  development,  creates employment opportunities, and  promotes human and  environmental health through  regenerative agriculture  practices. A wide range of different agroecological  practices  were introduced to smallholder farmers, with  data  collected from 137 farmers who participated in the   trials where they grew amaranth, African nightshade,  kale  and pumpkin leaves. Successes were showcased  in  demonstration days, and market linkages were  encouraged  through ‘vegetable business networks.’},
