The term agroecology is being used increasingly often, but what exactly does it mean? Is it a science, a system, a practice, a movement, an ideology or a combination of the above? Our panelists will share their definitions of the term and discuss where agroecology can best be implemented. What are some of the opportunities and constraints in its adoption? What is driving the agroecology movement? What does it have in common with other systems of agriculture? And what role can it play in making agriculture more sustainable?
The panelists are: Pamela Ronald, professor in the Genome Center and the Department of Plant Pathology, and founding director of the Institute for Food and Agricultural Literacy, at the University of California, Davis; Frédéric Baudron, senior scientist and systems agronomist at CIMMYT; and Nassib Mugwanya, Ugandan agricultural communications specialist and PhD candidate at North Carolina State University. Joan Conrow, Alliance for Science managing editor, will moderate.
Questions from the audience will be welcomed.
This event will also be live-streamed on Facebook.
