This session presents preliminary findings of ongoing research on the experiences of agroecological entrepreneurs in Africa conducted by the Alliance for Food Sovereignty in Africa (AFSA) and the Agroecology Fund (AEF). The speakers presented their perspectives on the question: “Shaping the Future of Food Markets: What kind of markets do we need for the transition to agroecology?” The panellists explored why and how local and regional territorial markets for agroecological products can be a strategic lever for amplifying agroecology across Africa by sustaining smallholder farmers with income.

The event was part of the ''Oxford Real Farming'' Conference in 2021.
