Synopsis (short abstract) Since its launch in 2018, the Scaling up Agroecology Initiative seeks to mobilize dialogue, cooperation and investment within and beyond the UN system, to bring agroecology to scale and achieve multiple sustainable development goals through sustainable agriculture and food systems. Different UN Agencies are progressively supporting agroecology across their respective mandates in partnership with governments and key actors across the food system. Three years into the implementation of the Scaling up Agroecology Initiative, this webinar will aim at sharing initial achievements, success stories and collective understanding of the enabling environment that takes agroecology forward on the ground, in different contexts and at different levels. It will be jointly organized by the UN advisory mechanism of the initiative, composed of FAO, IFAD, WFP, CBD, UNEP, UNDP, and WHO. The target audience is permanent representations to FAO and other RBAs; regional organizations; UN staff; national authorities; civil society organizations; academia and research institutions; farmers and producer organizations; private sector; NGOs; private foundations and international organizations.

With the global population expected to reach 9.6 billion by 2050, agriculture must tackle hunger and malnutrition in the face of growing pressure on natural resources, a loss of biodiversity and the uncertainties of climate change. By applying ecological and social concepts and principles, agroecology can guide the transition to more sustainable, efficient, equitable and inclusive food systems. There is growing evidence of the positive impact of agroecological approaches on the environment, economy and society at large, but the data remain fragmented, hindering effective decision-making. FAO plans to work with its partners to harmonize data collection and help scale up the use of agroecology to rehabilitate degraded lands and protect biodiversity, while realising the needs of food and agriculture for a growing global population.
