Regional consultation on agroecology in Asia and the Pacific

“Agroecology offers win-win solutions: increased productivity, improved resilience and more efficient use of natural resources” said José Graziano da Silva, Director-General of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations during the International Symposium on Agroecology for Food and Nutrition Security in Rome, hosted by FAO in 2014. The aim of the Multistakeholder Consultation in Bangkok was to continue and expand upon these discussions in Rome. The public sector, academia, farmer delegates, and organizations behind social movements from more than twenty countries across the region were present. Following the consultation, they agreed on a set of recommendations to take agroecology forward in the region. Below, we highlight some of the most relevant contributions and suggestions made at the consultation.
