Agroecological transitions require more than successful projects and local initiatives. To achieve lasting impact at scale, supportive policy environments are needed. Join this second webinar “Enabling agroecology through policy: Different pathways towards the same objective?” of the A&FS Agroecology Deep Dive Series co-organised with the Agroecology Coalition and Biovision. The event will explore two distinct pathways towards the same objective: enabling agroecological transitions at scale: National Agroecology Strategies (NAS) and mainstreaming agroecology into existing policy frameworks.

This session covered the core framework of agroecology as an approach that mimics natural processes while building on local community knowledge, that adheres to foundational environmental and social benchmarks, and that is anchored on set of principles and elements. It also tackled structural drivers, given the growing political and policy momentum on agroecology from global to regional, to national and sub-national territorial levels, supported both by governments and non-state actors.

Supporting the COP17 Global Review, this event assessed how NBSAPs integrate agroecology and nature-positive food systems, examining policy ambition, implementation readiness and key means of implementation—from institutions and monitoring to finance and partnerships—to accelerate action.
