Host: Ministry of Agrarian Development and Family Farming (MDA) – Brazil
This session will explore the main challenges and opportunities for advancing the agroecological transition. It will focus on the importance of defining when a production system can be considered “in transition” or “agroecological,” and how this characterization affects access to public policies, financing mechanisms, and social recognition. The discussion will connect these structural issues to the need for improved communication, education, and technical assistance systems that enable a just and scalable transition.
