Representatives from South America, Central America, and the Caribbean; from the public, private and academic sectors as well as integration organizations, will participate in the Regional Seminar on Agroecology in Latin America and the Caribbean, to be held in Brasilia, Brazil.  

The seminar is based on a regional as well as global context of growing interest in agroecology, which is expressed in political platforms; experiences of production and public policies within the scope of the challenges to eradicate poverty, hunger and malnutrition; to achieve sustainable development; to promote the human right to healthy and adequate food; support the conservation of biodiversity; and the recognition and appreciation of family farming, knowledge of indigenous peoples and traditional communities.
