Conscious of the need to link the agroecological outlook to local and regional socio-ecological realities, the FAO decided to continue and expand on discussions previously started in Rome via a number of regional seminars across different continents. The Regional Seminar on Agroecology in Latin America and the Caribbean (the Seminar) was held in Brasilia in June 2015. The public sector, academics and representatives from organizations and social movements from twentyone countries across the region were among those present. Key discussion points from the Seminar are detailed below using excerpts from the plenary and passages taken from the final document from the event.
