Outcomes of the 2022 Agroecology Dialogue Series and Ways Forward

In 2022, FAO, the Biovision Foundation and the Agroecology Coalition organized a series of three hybrid thematic dialogues, with a focus on identifying entry points, opportunities, building blocks, innovative approaches to policy, technology and institutional frameworks, that can support the upscale of agroecology. Through interactive group discussions and case studies, the dialogue explored the interface between agroecology and 1) territorial approaches, 2) biodiversity conservation between the farm level, 3) agri-input scarcity. An outcome brief was then developed for each dialogue, reflecting the key messages and recommendations of the discussions.

The event, took place on February 22, 2023, in Bern, and the key results of the agroecology dialogue series were discussed as well as how how to build on those messages. The event was organized around the visit of the FAO DDG Beth Bechdol in Switzerland.
