Agroecology as a biodiversity-approach: In principle, in policy and in practice

29.10.2026
Food & Agriculture Pavilion, Blue Zone, COP17, Yerevan, Armenia

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.
