Agroecology and its principles are increasingly recognized as a promising
pathway for providing sustainable solutions to the issues of food security
and nutrition, the fight against poverty and social inequalities, the adaptation
to climate change, the preservation of biodiversity and natural resources,
and the fight against zoonotic diseases. Simultaneously, approaches that
put territories at the center of development also gained attention for the
implementation of the UN Agenda 2030 for Sustainable Development.
This first session of the Agroecology Dialogue Series will explore the interface
between territorial approaches and agroecology, and look at how this
interface can contribute to sustainable food systems transformation. Further,
it will analyse the pathways needed for public policies, research initiatives,
investment mechanisms, and advocacy to support agroecological
transitions at territorial scales.
