Agroecological food system transformation offers a promising solution to addressing the challenges of the global food system. Yet, comprehensive evidence of agroecological practices, guided by the ten elements of agroecology, remains limited and fragmented. This paper presents a groundbreaking global overview of diverse agricultural production systems and their progress toward...

Explore the vital connection between humans and nature in this latest episode that delve into the importance of reconnecting with the natural world. Focusing on agroecology and biodiversity preservation, this podcast highlights how communities living in harmony with their environments offer valuable lessons in sustainability. 

Agroecology emphasizes a shift from low diversity, high chemical input farming to more biodiverse agroecosystems cultivated in conjunction with natural ecosystem processes and embedded in socially just relationships. Yet achieving such agroecological transitions presents enormous challenges in industrial agricultural landscapes dominated by consolidation and overproduction.  This study examines both the challenges...

Agricultural landscapes have been reshaped globally to drive unsustainable increases in profit and production. This is contributing significantly to the degradation of planetary systems and the vulnerability of food systems. The discourse coalition that has formed around the storyline of regenerative agriculture (RA) promises to address these issues by transforming...

Multiple crises have disrupted food systems around the world. The shocks induced by the COVID-19 pandemic, coupled with increased energy prices and shortages of fertilizers and agricultural inputs, have affected farmers everywhere. By applying inductive, qualitative, and comparative research approaches, this study investigates the impact of shocks and crises on...

This study presents an approach to assess agroecology at village level through focus group discussions with village committees and district extension agents. This approach is intended as an alternative to resources-intensive assessment methods, covering larger areas and providing rapid yet empirical evidences for policy and practice. It is based on...
