Synopsis (short abstract) This paper presents five main messages and key recommendations of a dialogue that explored opportunities and limitations of agroecology to address conservation needs beyond the farm. The messages hereby presented look beyond classical on-farm conservation approaches (e.g. conservation of local crop varieties and crop wild relatives) and focus instead on the contributions of agroecology to mitigate species decline and ecosystem degradation at the landscape scale. This although important is less explicitly recognized within existing narratives of agroecology or conservation communities. The paper identifies concrete pathways to increase synergies between agroecology and biodiversity conservation communities for food system transformation through policy reform, knowledge creation, investment and change of practices.

    This paper presents four main findings and key recommendations of a dialogue that explored the role of agroecology in increasing resilience to agri-input 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.

    The interface between agroecology and territorial approaches for food systems transformation
    2022

    Agroecology offers values and principles that underpin sustainable solutions to challenges around food insecurity, social inequality, climate change and threats to biodiversity and natural resources. Territorial approaches meanwhile facilitate the multi-stakeholder collaboration at scale that is needed for effective implementation of sustainable development solutions within the framework of the UN’s 2030 Agenda. Several shared principles and practices create synergies between the two models that can support the advancement of both. This paper presents five main findings and key recommendations of a dialogue that explored how integrating agroecology and territorial approaches might support and accelerate a systemic transformation at scale in food systems. The findings and recommendations aim to support the Agroecology Coalition’s work to promote agroecology beyond its community. They reflect dialogue participants’ diverse backgrounds, opinions, and areas of expertise, and are not intended to convey the opinions of organizing institutions.
