Launch event: ‘’The Politics of Knowledge: Understanding the Evidence for Agroecology, Regenerative Approaches, and Indigenous Foodways’’ on 6 December 2021
The Global Alliance for the Future of Food is presenting a webinar event that will mark the launch of ‘’The Politics of Knowledge: Understanding the Evidence for Agroecology, Regenerative Approaches, and Indigenous Foodways’’ on 6 December 2021 at 10:00 – 11:30 AM ET / 16:00 – 17:30 PM CET. The publication is a new compendium tackling the dominant questions about evidence that are holding back food systems transformation. Authors unpack the narratives and legacies that unpin these questions and explore the many ways funders, researchers, and policymakers can take transformative action.
Bringing together diverse speakers and an audience of funders, donors (philanthropic, multi, and bi-lateral), and policymakers, as well as researchers and advocates, the event will both challenge attendees’ existing ideas and assumptions about evidence and decision making, whilst offering a space for rich dialogue and engagement about the future of food.
Objectives:
– Highlight emerging coalitions, evidence, and policy actions that advance agroecology, regenerative approaches, and Indigenous foodways.
– Provide entry points for funders to activate a research and action agenda that is focused on political and social justice, the right to food, and food sovereignty.
– Create a space for dialogue amongst global and local audiences about food systems transformation.
