Dear Members of the HLPE,
The Brazilian Association on Agroecology (ABA-Agroecologia), is a scientific society dedicated to the advancement of agroecology as a scientific approach. Among its multiple fronts of action, ABA-Agroecologia has organized 10 Brazilian Congresses of Agroecology, gathering thousands of researchers, educators, extensionists, students and farmers every two years to discuss the advances and challenges of the agroecological approach in Brazil and in the world.
We are pleased to send in the attached file our critical contribution to the HLPE report on "Agroecological approaches and other innovations for sustainable agriculture and food systems that enhance food security and nutrition".
We hope this contribution can be helpful to document improvement. We'll keep available for further dialogue in the later stages of this rich collective elaboration.
With best wishes,
Paulo Petersen
ABA-Agroecologia
Vice-president
