“As illustrated by the development of a partnership on agroecology at European level, agroecology is increasingly recognized as a relevant option to address actual challenges of food production and systems. However, depending of the different regions in the world, but also at country level, the development and the current status of agroecology may differ strongly. This talk will present insights into agroecology on two different parts of the world: Europe and Chile.
First, an overview about European initiatives, cases, examples, and programmes relating to agroecology in Practice, Science, Movement, Living Labs, and Education and Training will be presented. This talk will be based on the mapping of agroecology in Europe achieve in 33 countries within the AE4EU project. For several European countries, the barriers and perspectives for the future development of agroecology, taking into account some recent development in policy, will also be presented.
On the second exposition prepare to embark on a journey into the future of agroecology in Chile. We will examine recent educational programs in agroecology, closely examine the goals of the Chilean agroecological society, and examine the most recent government efforts on scaling agroecological family farming systems. These perspectives will provide insight into the future of agroecology at a national level.”
