Special webinar marking the 10th anniversary of Access Agriculture

(Organised by Access Agriculture and the Agroecology Coalition)

25 October, 11.00 AM GMT / UTC

As part of its 10th anniversary celebration this year, Access Agriculture (www.accessagriculture.org) organised a webinar on “How to scale agroecology” on 25 October 2022, in partnership with the Agroecology Coalition (www.agroecology-coalition.org).

Since it started in 2012, Access Agriculture’s video-led learning approach has reached an estimated 90 million people, mainly smallholder farmers, in over 100 countries, enabling them to learn about agroecological principles, leading to improved rural livelihoods and sustainable food systems. The organisation is filling a unique and valuable niche in supporting horizontal farmer-to-farmer learning and the scaling of agroecology across the Global South.

The Agroecology Coalition vision envisages an inclusive food system based on the principles of agroecology. The Coalition is a major outcome of the UN Food Systems Summit held in September 2021, and has already over 113 members (39 countries and 74 organisations), committed to making agroecological transitions a widespread reality.

The objectives of the webinar were to celebrate the achievements of Access Agriculture in the last 10 years and help shape its future strategy as a global service provider and scaling agent to help mainstream agroecology and transition towards more resilient food systems.

The webinar featured an eclectic line-up of distinguished speakers and panelists, including representatives from the Agroecology Coalition, FAO Family Farming Knowledge Platform, ANTHRA, Collaborative Crop Research Program (CCRP) at McKnight Foundation, PROLINNOVA, academia, community radio and TV stations, in addition to Access Agriculture.
