Forum Origin, Diversity and Territories 2019 – AGROECOLOGY: Multiple Transitions of territories

The 7th edition of the Forum Origin, Diversity and Territories – ODT 2019 proposes to explore and put into perspective the theme of agroecology: Multiple Transitions of Territories. The ODT Forum is a unique learning experience, which will be held in 2019 between 4 and 6 December in Lausanne, in the canton of Vaud, Switzerland.

During the Forum ODT 2019, concrete examples of small- and large-scale agroecological systems will be presented by scientists but also key actors from territories, farmers, consumers and development agents, and will be followed by exchange and debate sessions with international experts from countries of Africa, Eastern Europe, Latin America and Asia who are the promoters of local innovations that link the sectors of high quality agricultural and agri-food production in territories in ecological and social transition.

The theme of agroecology emerged frequently in the debates and discussions of previous Forums ODT, which focused in particular on the « role of diversity in territories in transition », « innovation in territories and resilience in food systems », « the right to food » and « family agriculture and biodiversity ».

The objectives of the ODT 2019 Forum will be to discuss the following themes:

  • Understanding and building reference frameworks around agroecology, its technical and social dynamics, and its mechanisms for disseminating knowledge and know-how.
  • Tools to encourage the implementation of agroecological transitions in territories: identification of platforms, networks and tools that facilitate the implementation technical systems and innovative agroecological solutions by producers and their upstream and downstream partners.
  • Planning and support for sustainable transitions at the territorial level: exchange of practices and methodologies in participatory planning and prospective, new models to guarantee sustainability and territorial management, conduct of learning in the mobilization of local actors.
  • Distribution of agroecological agricultural products (marketing, trading, bartering): raise consumer interest in these products through innovative distribution systems, participatory guarantee systems (PGS), collective or individual labels, and modern communication tools (social networks, web media, etc.).
