The Latin American Scientific Society of Agroecology (SOCLA), with the support of the Brazilian Association of Agroecology (ABA), initiated a process of mapping of agroecological experiences in Latin America. The "Mapping of Agroecology Units in Latin America" is a collaborative approach to visualize the multiple and diverse initiatives that promote and implement agroecology. The mapping's primary purpose is to identify and characterize agroecology in training, teaching, research, and advisory institutions in the region. It aims to facilitate and encourage the coordination of different initiative for research and teaching in agroecology and to dissiminate and scale up agroecology in Latin America.
