From March 28 to 30, an international working meeting dedicated to agroecology – ecological agriculture, which contributes to sustainability and climate resilience, is taking place in Belgrade for the first time. This gathering is part of the project “Mediterranean Caravan of Agroecology”. Representatives of associations from several countries are gathering in Belgrade: Italy, France, Portugal, Turkey, Croatia, Serbia, Lebanon and Egypt. 

Intensive industrial agriculture brings with it a number of very negative consequences: impoverishment of biodiversity, progressive decline in soil quality, water and soil pollution, impoverishment of small producers… Faced with the threat of climate change and the rarefication of fossil fuels, one way to maintain food production and preserve people’s health and the environment is to turn to sustainable ecological practices implemented by small producers and family farms.
