Agroecology is more than a farming method—it’s a political, community-led pathway toward justice, sustainability, and climate resilience. The platform’s Agroecology Working Group brings together grassroots organizations and networks from Africa, Asia, and Latin America to advance agroecology as a transformative alternative to corporate agriculture and extractive food systems. We work across borders to connect struggles, share knowledge, and build collective power—placing land, women, youth, and Indigenous Peoples at the heart of the movement.
Our approach
Agroecology integrates ecological, social, cultural, and spiritual dimensions of food production. Rooted in food sovereignty, it combines scientific knowledge with local and Indigenous practices to ensure access to nutritious, culturally appropriate food in harmony with nature. It challenges industrial agriculture and offers a real climate solution.
We recognize farmers, farm workers, women, youth, Indigenous Peoples, community-based processors, and consumers as key decision-makers in shaping food systems.

What We Do
Learning Exchanges
We organize regional and global learning exchanges to foster solidarity and deepen understanding of agroecological practices.
- Global learning exchange in Thailand (2025): A five-day exchange focused on Indigenous knowledge, women’s leadership, and intergenerational learning.
- Asia Online Exchange (2024): Brought together groups from Bangladesh, Malaysia, Myanmar, Nepal, Pakistan, Philippines, Sri Lanka, and Vietnam to explore shared challenges and innovations.
- Global learning exchange in Brazil (2024): Connected with over 100 agroecological communities, including Quilombola farmers reclaiming land and culture through rotational farming.
Policy Advocacy
We develop policy briefs to showcase regional case studies and advocate for systemic change in global food systems.
COP and the People’s Summit
We are actively advocating around COP processes and the concurrent People’s Summit, where we will amplify the voices of frontline agroecological practitioners and push for agroecology to be recognized as a key climate solution.
