Objectives:
- Create a space to share experiences and knowledge on current respective activities of Group Members, with the final goal of strengthening collaborations and synergies.
- Get an overview of what is done where, in order to have the bigger picture about what happens globally on agroecology.
- Increase visibility about programmes and projects that are effectively implementing and scaling up agroecology on the ground (including through a quick mapping).
- Considering increased demand from countries on how to promote agroecological transitions: connect members of the Coalition to sources of agroecological expertise and other relevant sources of learning on the topic (contextualized research and evidence, mechanisms to work with extension officials).
- Support the Advocacy and Public Policies Working Groups of the Coalition through availability of evidence and learnings on “what works” from programme/project implementation to policy recommendations and advocacy work.
- Understanding barriers and enablers to scale up agroecology in different contexts and levels.
