Perspectives for agroecological research and the Specialist Group
After a period of hibernation, our specialist group is currently reviving itself. In the past two years, several of us have organised workshops and written a policy brief on transdisciplinary agroecological research. Now, we would like to build on that momentum to reconstitute the full group, welcome new members, and discuss where we want to go from here.
At this meeting, we will take time to get to know each other, think about the current state of research in agroecology, and begin to plan the future work of the specialist group. If you are interested in contributing to this exchange and the activity in the group, come and join us!
