I think that, as a general outline, the most important issues are present in the scope proposal, but the report should also address groups of agroecological techniques and technologies of proven success. In agroecology, the necessary applicability to specific contexts is inextricably linked to general guidelines for the design of sustainable agroecosystems under environmental, economic and social aspects. In addition, the climatic similarities between different regions of the world bring the application of certain techniques and technologies that are feasible in these climatic conditions. For example, semi-arid regions, which are, as a rule, among the most affected by serious problems of poverty and lack of food.
Many experiences, already consolidated, were developed within the social movements, the academy, and the interaction between both, promoting increases in productivity and fertility and reducing production costs.
It should be borne in mind that actions in support of agroecology need to have effective democratization of land, wealth, knowledge and decisions, guaranteed and guided by strong state actions, with institutional and financial support in line with the needs productive, social and economic transformation. Thus, agrarian reform is the parent policy and needs to be accompanied by technical advice, research, rural extension, agricultural credit, price and outflow guarantees, agro-industrialization and logistics, with human and financial resources massive and high quality.
Not only participation, but the actual appropriation of actions and results by rural communities and social movements is an essential part of the process of amplification of agroecology. This is to prevent that, as we see, collective efforts are appropriated by groups of financial power involved in
