Scaling up Agroecology: Grassroots Perspectives on Opportunities and Challenges

Agroecology movements around the world are growing, and growing rapidly. Increasingly, farmers are transitioning to agroecology, consumers are demanding healthy foods, and policymakers are starting to take notice.

In this webinar, we hear from activists, practitioners and scholars about where there have been promising advances in the scaling up of agroecology, as well as possible next steps to grow even more exponentially. By sharing national, regional and global perspectives, we hope to collectively sharpen our analysis of opportunities to scale up agroecology just as we strengthen our alliances with one another.
