Fishbowl Discussion: How Can We Turn Agroecology into Action? 

 

What are the key challenges for agroecology in Germany? Where are the greatest leverage points? And what would it take for agroecology to become more firmly embedded in practice?

 

The discussion brings together perspectives from farming, food processing, politics and civil society, complemented by an international perspective on agroecology. Together, we will explore the political and structural conditions needed to put agroecology into practice.

 

Moderator: Tanja Busse 

 

The discussion will open with contributions from people working in farming, artisanal food production, civil society and international agroecology initiatives. Further contributions from people working in practice, academia and civil society will enrich the workshops and discussions.
