This second volume of the country reports series enlarges the documentation, analysis, and development of agroecology in Europe, and provides examples of implementation in different countries. The 11 countries studied within this volume show somewhat similar results as found in with the first 13 countries mapped in volume 1. There are quite contrasted situations regarding the development of agroecology in different countries.

The first volume documents the development of agroecology in thirteen European countries: Albania, Austria, Bosnia, Bulgaria, Croatia, Germany, Greece, Italy, Kosovo, Malta, Montenegro, North Macedonia, and Romania. It describes 112 initiatives, examples, cases, and programmes linked to agroecology, the development of agroecology in these European countries, and the diversity of use of the concept.

In some countries, many existing initiatives with a direct or indirect link to agroecology and some of its principles can be documented, whereas the implementation of agroecology or the use of the concept and approaches are still limited in other countries. This does not mean that some countries are better than others, only that agroecology evolved distinctly through the history of agriculture and food systems as well as
the policy framework.
