Coordinamento Agroecologia Sicilia

The 1st Mediterranean Agroecology Congress represents an important opportunity for dialogue among farmers, researchers, and actors in the agroecological sector from across the Mediterranean basin. The congress will be a place for dialogue and exchange of practical and scientific experiences. Special attention will be given to the interaction between sciences, practices, and movements, with three thematic days on the topic (June 9, 10, and 12) and a special day of farm visits (June 11), during which farmers will directly illustrate their practices and results in the field. Based on the experience gained by the Agroecology Coordination of Sicily, promoter of Regional Law 21 of July 29, 2021, on agroecology, the congress aims to develop three key documents on the final day. Through a participatory process and round tables, guidelines and directives will be defined for the following areas:

• Scientific: to guide research towards the real needs of agroecology in the Mediterranean.

• Technical: to promote innovative solutions and practices applicable to Mediterranean agricultural realities.

• Political: to offer guidelines and proposals for public policies aimed at the development of agroecology.

This congress aims to be a fundamental moment for building a common and sustainable vision for Mediterranean agriculture, enhancing the resources and cultural heritage of a territory rich in history and biodiversity. For more information and to participate, visit this website.
