000075976 520__ $$aAgroecological 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.’
