9/16: This issue
of Farming Matters explores innovative ways to show that agroecology
provides critical solutions to the challenges of our time. Agroecology
is gaining recognition for its potential to address climate change,
biodiversity loss and malnutrition, and there are many successful
example.
However, to garner the necessary support in policy and practice, looking differently at ‘progress’, ‘performance’ or ‘success’ of farming and food systems is key.
As agroecology can have impact at many levels, conventional indicators such as yield per hectare of a single crop no longer suffice. The experiences, opinions, and perspectives featured in this issue demonstrate how farmers, researchers, policy makers and consumers are using new lenses to track change.
Some authors point out that evidence alone is not enough to achieve an agroecological transition, and that the ‘movement’ dimension of agroecology is crucial.
