T his paper presents four main findings and key recommendations of a dialogue that explored the role of agroecology in increasing resilience to agriinput scarcity in the context of the current global food crisis. It aims to support and feed into the Coalition for food systems transformation through Agroecology (Agroecology Coalition) and contribute to the emergence of a broader framework on multiple pathways for food systems transformation. Its findings reflect the diverse backgrounds, opinions, and areas of expertise of dialogue participants, and are not intended to convey the opinions of the organizing institutions. Prices of agri-inputs, in particular fertilizers and energy, are at record highs. The increase in fertilizer prices started towards the end of 2021 and has been amplified by the war in Ukraine. Disruption in fertilizer affordability and availability is creating concern about future harvests and global agricultural production. This situation is exacerbated by other climatic and political factors. Considering that agroecological systems are low-external-input-based systems that promote locally sourced inputs and/or circularity of nutrients within and between neighbouring farms, the aim of this dialogue was to discuss agroecology as a potential option for navigating the ongoing agri-input crisis. Concretely, participants in the dialogue looked at the supply crisis for synthetic fertilizers and its current impacts on food systems; the potential costs and benefits of agroecological transition; enabling factors for a transition to agroecology for different stakeholders; and technical, economic and policy incentives that could promote farming systems that recycle nutrients.
