Agroecologia na FAO, Catedral da Revolução Verde


- "agroecology is not a set of tools or practices than can be used to make large-scale and capital-intensive agriculture systems more sustainable."

- "importance of scaling-up open-source information systems for small-scale farmers, strengthening the participation of often marginalised communities (such as pastoralists) in policy-making forums, and demanding equal representation of women in leadership positions of rural institutions."

- "highlighted the fact that local knowledge systems are essential for maintaining agroecological production, and therefore participatory research methodologies are needed to fully understand the range of benefits of these production systems and then effectively translate those findings into policy spheres."

"it is clear that the further institutionalisation of agroecology in FAO’s “Cathedral of the Green Revolution,” as named by the FAO Director General during the First International Agroecology Symposium in 2014, casts an uncharted, but certainly contested, policy future for agroecology. It’s up to agroecologically-orientated farmer organisations and social movements to keep pressure on policy makers to embed this promising approach."
