Deep Dive Agroecology - Webinar 1

Across the world, numerous projects, farmer organisations, communities and enterprises demonstrate that agroecological approaches can deliver positive environmental, social and economic outcomes. Yet what enables these initiatives to move beyond individual farms, projects or territories and achieve impact at scale?

This webinar will explore how agency and social mobilisation can create momentum for agroecological transformation, how knowledge and capacities can be strengthened and shared across contexts, and how markets, enterprises and investment can support agroecology without compromising its core principles. The policy dimensions that help create an enabling environment for agroecological transitions will be explored in Webinar 2.
