Agroecology is an ambitious approach that fosters fairer, more resilient, sustainable, and healthier food systems. It encourages long-term social, institutional, and productive transformations aimed at reconfiguring food production and consumption, safeguarding agroecosystems, and promoting inclusive governance of food systems. National public policies are crucial in facilitating agroecological transitions. However, the success of these policies largely hinges on their ability to integrate with local processes and collaborate with actors operating in the territories they seek to impact.
