This report shares the findings of the Agroecology Policy Research Initiative, which examines the state of agroecology policy in Canada by gathering insights from those involved in policy, research, and practice related to agriculture and food. This includes government staff, parliamentarians, lobbyists, farmers, food systems researchers, and NGO policy advocates. The aim was to look for opportunities and levers of change that will advance policies and practices for agroecology, and address the challenges (policies, practices, interests, narratives, and mindsets) that are currently standing in the way of change.

Through conversations with key Canadian experts in agricultural and social policy, the report aims to look for opportunities and levers of change that will advance policies and practices for agroecology, and address the challenges (policies, practices, interests, narratives, and mindsets) that are currently standing in the way of change.
