Objectives

The Markets Working Group was created following the Coalition’s 2024-2030 Strategy Development process.   

This Working Group will be facilitating and advancing the Coalition’s work in promoting the development of dynamic local, territorial, national and regional markets and inclusive business models improving the livelihoods and influence of agroecological farmers and food system actors, demonstrating agroecology as a strong economic pathway that is inclusive, equitable and sustainable.  

Specifically, it will be: 

1. Convening actors working on entrepreneurship, value chains and territorial market development to share experiences and best practices and supported peer- to-peer approaches for capacity building. 
2. Contributing to shifting the narrative on the economic viability of agroecology and businesses aligned with the agroecological principles and elements. 
3. Collating and disseminated good practices and lessons in creating resilient market pathways and inclusive business models, and initiatives to develop demand, entrepreneurship and value chains.
