March 3, 2026 – February 26, 2026 will remain a historic date for sustainable agriculture in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The Minister of State for Agriculture and Food Security, Muhindo Nzangi Butondo, signed Ministerial Order No. 2/CAB/MINETAT/AGRI-SA/MNB/RMM/2026 establishing the National Service for Agroecological Security and Protection (SNSPA). This new, ambitious and innovative national technical service aims to protect crops, agricultural infrastructure, and processing units, while promoting agroecological practices across the country.
The SNSPA replaces the former Conservation Agriculture Unit and includes several specialized divisions: agricultural monitoring and protection; security coordination and early warning; agricultural conservation and biodiversity; rapid response; as well as administration and finance. A dedicated technical unit, the National Agroecological Monitoring and Protection Shield (BNSPA), will oversee agroecological practices, prevent degradation of agroecosystems, and coordinate with conservation services.
