Agroecology Knowledge Hub

‘’Research on Agroecology: Current strengths and innovative futures for sustainable food systems’’ on 27 October 2021

On 27 October at 12:00-14:00 UTC (14:00-16.00 CEST), the Transformative Partnership Platform on Agroecology (TPP) hosted an online event on ‘’Research on Agroecology: Current strengths and innovative futures for sustainable food systems’’. 

The topic of agroecological transformation of agri-food systems and its link to the Sustainable Development Goals was one of the most prevalent at the United Nations World Food Systems Summit in New York.

Divided into three parts, this interactive 2-hour session explored the linkage between sustainable intensification and agroecological transformation.

Part 1 provided an introduction to the Agropolis Dossier released last September. It gave an overview of the extensive research conducted by more than 500 researchers from over 100 universities and research organizations spread around the globe - illustrating the strong commitment of France and CGIAR to promoting the agroecological transition.

Part 2 addressed the demand and the need for research in the area of agroecology. It looked at current knowledge gaps, new research questions and the emerging need to conduct research differently.

Part 3 focused on how research in agroecology can provide answers to the current global challenges. Experts overviewed a variety of ongoing projects and initiatives in the field, such as the Agroecology Coalition, a Million Voices initiative and many more linked to the Agroecology TPP.
