The Agroecology Fund’s second global Agroecology Learning Exchange, held in February 2020 in Karnataka, India, was an extraordinary gathering of more than 70 farmers and agroecology advocates from frontline organizations, researchers, allies, and donors. The Agroecology Fund’s mission, at its core, is to support a growing global agroecology movement to move climateand human rights-friendly food systems into the mainstream where they belong. Spaces for learning, knowledge exchange and relationship-building — whether physical or virtual — offer fertile ground to scale agroecology up and out. What makes the agroecology movement so unique is its emphasis on local diversity — both cultural and biological — and continuous farmer-led innovation, as the cornerstone of fair and resilient food systems. This multiplicity of approaches makes agroecology an intensely knowledge-intensive field.
