We mobilise people and resources to create, curate, make sense of and use knowledge to inform policymaking across Europe.
This section provides a selection of key actors in the field of agroecology.
The Agroecology Coalition supports the acceleration of food system transformation through agroecology and the implementation of country pathways in five objectives:
Launched at the UN Food System Summit 2021 the Coalition has grown to over 51 countries, 3 regional commissions and around 350 organisations. The European Commission is a member of the Coalition and provides financial support to its Secretariat.
The Coalition has adopted a strategy for the period 2024-2030, outlining a comprehensive and collaborative approach to transforming food systems through agroecology.
The Transformative Partnership Platform on Agroecological Approaches to Building Resilience of Livelihoods and Landscapes (Agroecology TPP) was launched in 2021 with the scope to address key knowledge and implementation gaps to support agroecological transitions. It aims to provide clear evidence to underpin advocacy and inform policy makers and donors about the environmental and social benefits of agroecological approaches. The Agroecology TPP hosts a number of agroecological Communities of Practice for individuals to connect, share knowledge and technology and learn.
TPP Agroecology works in 8 domains:
This Initiative aims to develop and scale agroecological innovations with small-scale farmers and other agricultural and food system actors across different socio-ecological contexts in seven low- and middle-income countries.
Agroecology Europe is a community of professionals, practitioners, and societal stakeholders. It aims to support agroecological research, education, and training, share and disseminate agroecological knowledge, and promote agroecology in the farming and food sectors and in society.
European Agroecology Partnership is a consortium under Horizon Europe with the aim to coordinate efforts, pool resources, and facilitate the transition to agroecology across Europe, by building on participatory research approaches such as Living Labs (LL) and Research Infrastructures (RI). The Agroecology Partnership provides funding for projects that aim to promote spaces for long-term, site-specific, multi-stakeholder experimentation and provide adoption-ready practices that support farmers in understanding and implementing practices. Further, the Partnerships engages in mutual learning and dialogue.
This web-based platform shares relevant knowledge on agroecology.
The Foundation supports agroecology in research and policy across the food system in sub-Saharan Africa, Switzerland and internationally.
The Regional Multi-actor Research Networks in Africa on Agroecology (RMRN) strengthen knowledge creation related to food systems transformation towards higher levels of sustainability and based on agroecological principles for a green transition in Africa. On continental level the project is coordinated by FARA (Forum for Agricultural Research in Africa) and Ruforum (Regional Universities Forum for Capacity Building in Agriculture) with scientific support by the JRC (Joint Research Centre).
Together they inform the Africa Knowledge Platform ArcX on Agroecology.
CELIA is a research centre that promotes agroecology in Latin America by generating knowledge, training practitioners, and supporting sustainable, socially just farming systems. It links scientific research with farmer-led practices to strengthen food sovereignty and environmental resilience.
SOCLA is a scientific association that brings together researchers, educators, and practitioners to advance agroecology in Latin America. It promotes research, education, and public action focused on sustainable, socially just food systems.
