Members and partner organisations can submit proposals for the event until Friday March 31, with four topics receiving particular attention:

• Focus on soils (living soils, One Health)
• Agroecology and strategic alliances (networks and scaling out, parallels with other approaches, inclusivity, and connections with other movements)
• Challenges and opportunities in policy and local governance (access to land, first steps in agroecological transition, common food systems, CAP reform, examples of local governance support, and responses to populism)  
• Sowing the seeds for a resilient future (digitalisation, transforming education and farming extension services, innovative techniques for enhancing resilience, and restoring traditional knowledge and varieties)

“By bringing together a variety of stakeholders from various movements and territories, we aim to create synergies that set an exemplary model for facilitating the transition to agroecology in Europe, while acknowledging the global reach of the movement,” explain the organisers.

“Local solutions supported by favourable policies, tailored to the diverse climatic, socio-economic and cultural realities of the European continent can bring about a more climate-resilient, biodiverse Europe, with environmental and social justice at its heart.”
