More Research for Agroecology

The project aims to strengthen systemic research in agroecology. A study with renowned international partners analysed relevant cash flows and the most important points of leverage.

This project has been completed. The information on this page shows the path Biovision took in collaboration with local partners – and the approaches that were central to it.

Now, relevant researchers and funders must be made aware of the results and recommendations, plus the added value of agroecological approaches, to generate increased investment in agroecological research. In order to achieve this, we organise roundtables, using a multi-stakeholder approach for discussing how to strengthen this type of research. We facilitate field visits for decision makers so that they can experience successful agroecological examples at first hand. We have developed a tool that enables donors to compare project portfolios based on agroecological principles. Finally, we support the implementation of agroecology courses at universities in sub-Saharan Africa.

These scientists explain why investing in agroecological research is important

How new Biovision projects come to life

Every Biovision project begins with a carefully designed development process. New projects do not emerge by chance, but where there is a concrete challenge within the food system and agroecological approaches have the potential to create lasting change.

Cutting Prevention Comes at a High Cost

For Anders Gautschi, CEO of Biovision, this is a strategic mistake. In this interview, he explains why long-term international partnerships are essential for preventing crises and building lasting stability.

Making agroecology visible: A Biovision approach

Biovision is committed to improving the political framework conditions for agroecology. A key lever: the visibility of enterprises that successfully implement agroecology. These enterprises demonstrate that economic success and social commitment can go hand in hand, providing compelling evidence in favour of sustainable agricultural policies. In the video, we use the example of an award ceremony in Kigali, Rwanda, to demonstrate exactly how we shine the spotlight on these enterprises.
