Since 2022, the Agrarian Higher School of Viseu, Portugal, has been hosting seasonal Agroecology and Sustainable Food Systems Field Schools, open to everyone. Each session (Summer, Autumn, Winter, Spring) dives into topics ranging from agricultural practices to social and economic dynamics, co-created with various partners. Participants include farmers, activists, academics, and curious minds. In this session, we’ll explore how these schools operate and share key insights for both Portugal and the UK, focusing on engaging more people and overcoming organisational challenges.
