In a context of growing hunger and accelerating climate and biodiversity crises, the 300-member Agroecology Coalition launched an ambitious strategy to rapidly accelerate the transition to sustainable agroecological food systems by 2030 at an event hosted by the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) and attended by pioneering governments, international agencies, scientific groups, and civil society organizations.

This new strategy sets goals towards:

  1.  Facilitating co-creation and exchange of knowledge on agroecology
  2.  Fostering increased investments in agroecology
  3.  Advocating for and amplifying supportive policies for agroecology
  4.  Supporting and promoting market pathways for agroecology
