Join us to explore how to transform publicly-funded research for agroecology and help broaden the coalition – initiated at ORFC 2019 – pressing for scientific, technical and socio-economic research and innovation to prioritise the transformation towards a biodiverse, food sovereignty-based, agroecological food system.

Now, with many recent reports and heightened awareness about the climate/ecosystem/nutrition crises, we need to claim our definition of agroecology as the basis for a research agenda fit for real food and farming, through a collective citizen/farmer-led approach. Let’s identify which (mainly policy) levers to pull; pathways to explore; drivers to enhance; hurdles to dismantle; actors to involve; and priority actions to pursue.
