Our Green Week: Agroecology as the key out of the crises

The transformation of food systems is becoming increasingly urgent in view of the record levels of hunger, the worsening climate and biodiversity crises and growing inequality. Agroecology is a key approach to overcoming these multiple crises. In the coalition agreement, the German government also set itself the goal of promoting agroecological approaches more strongly.

How has the implementation progressed? What has been achieved? Where are the challenges? And what are the prospects for the remaining legislative period? Following the presentation of an NGO assessment paper, we will discuss these questions with our guests in a panel discussion.
