Scaling up agro-ecological approaches: what, why and how?

Discussion paper on scaling up agro-ecological approaches: In recent years, especially since the agriculture prices spike in 2008 that sparked ‘food riots’ across Africa, Asia and Latin America, a growing consensus has emerged on the need for proceeding to major changes in agricultural and food systems in order to ensure that the world can feed itself, today and in the future, with healthy and nutritionally high-quality food, while contributing to eradicating poverty, preserving biodiversity and natural resources, mitigating and adapting to climate change in a resource-constrained world : business as usual is no more an option.
