Agroecology is more than just sustainable farming—it’s a movement rooted in traditional knowledge, biodiversity conservation, and social justice. By centering the voices of peasants and Indigenous communities, it challenges dominant food system structures and promotes resilience. The Heinrich Böll Foundation, along with global partners, explores this transformation in its latest dossier, showcasing initiatives that blend agroecology with digital innovation, policy reform, and grassroots organizing.

From regenerative aquaculture in Malaysia to feminist-led agroecological movements in Latin America, the dossier highlights diverse approaches that strengthen local food systems. In Africa, debates on fertilizer policies emphasize the need for an agroecological transition, while in Germany, organic farming and agroecology are merging to drive systemic change. Across the Middle East, food sovereignty remains a crucial form of resistance, particularly in Palestine and Lebanon, where agroecology is a tool for self-sufficiency and climate adaptation.

Through a collection of case studies, films, and reports, this dossier illustrates how agroecology offers a viable alternative to industrial agriculture. Whether through community-led beekeeping in Southeast Asia or the preservation of traditional farming methods in Anatolia, these stories reinforce the urgency of scaling up agroecological solutions for a more just and sustainable future.
