Agroecology promotes the transformation of food and agriculture based on ecological principles, focused on justice-based visions led by farmers and citizens. It is increasingly adopted as a response to converging socio-ecological crises. However, almost all funding continues to flow to projects that undermine agroecology and strengthens the global, industrial farming system, despite widespread agreement related to pollution, climate change, and zoonotic diseases.

This interactive session is part of the Oxford Real Farming Conference 2021 and discussed alterations in private, philanthropic, and public financing to effectively realize agroecology's transformative potential. It is aimed at anyone interested in strengthening agroecology, especially farmers, activists, donors/funders, researchers, and policymakers.
