Towards an agroecological transformation
On Wednesday, August 25, at 11:00 AM Argentina and Uruguay time (UTC-3), the "Towards an Agroecological Transformation" series of talks continues with the second panel: "Agroecological Transformative Change in Markets and Consumption".
Moderator: Georgina Catacora, President of the Latin American Scientific Society of Agroecology (SOCLA).
Organized by: CLACSO / Community of Practice for Family Farming and Agroecology in Latin America and the Caribbean / Agroecology Knowledge Center – CCA/FAO / Family Farming Knowledge Platform – PCAF/FAO / Public Policy and Rural Development Network in Latin America – Red PP-AL / Innovation and Impact Network / Localized Agri-food Systems Network – Red SIAL Brazil / Latin American Scientific Society of Agroecology – SOCLA
In order to contribute to the exchange of knowledge, the co-organizers of the Community of Practice for Family Farming and Agroecology in Latin America and the Caribbean – the FAO Agroecology Knowledge Centre (CCA), the Latin American Council of Social Sciences (CLACSO), the FAO Family Farming Knowledge Platform (PCAF), the Public Policies and Rural Development Network in Latin America (Red PP-AL), the Innovation and Impact Network, the Network of Localized Agri-food Systems (Red SIAL Brasil), and the Latin American Scientific Society of Agroecology (SOCLA) – have set out to implement a Capacity Building Program through an open, practical dialogue focused on the specific needs of small-scale, agroecologically based family farmers, bringing knowledge and successful experiences that contribute to the debate on some challenges: agroecological transformation of production, markets and consumption, and public policies.
The cycle starts from understanding that the development of agroecological transformation processes involves understanding the integrality of food systems to improve, in a complementary way, their capacity to produce healthy food, through the restoration of ecosystems and soils, the conservation of biodiversity and the mitigation and adaptation to climate change, while maintaining their economic profitability, resilience and strengthening the social fabric, for the common good of a community or territory.
The goal of this series of talks is to contribute to a clearer understanding of agroecological transformation and how to approach it based on local experiences, through open and horizontal dialogue with small-scale, agroecological family farmers and with organizations that are systematizing experiences in Latin America. This will allow for the evaluation of lessons learned and findings, as well as the sharing of questions and concerns arising from practical experience.
It is aimed at small-scale and agroecological family farmers, researchers and professionals interested in the topics to be addressed.
