Forum Origin, Diversity, and Territories 2022

As a knowledge and multi-stakeholders platform, ORIGIN organizes each year an international forum with a renewed special focus, gathering participants from the five continents for three days.

From 19 to 21 October 2022, the 10th edition of the Origin, Diversity and Territories Forum will take place in Saignelégier in the Swiss Jura.

2022’s ODT Forum theme is 

“What strategies for the sustainability of localized agri-food systems in the face of the climate crisis?”

This question is addressed through thematic workshops:

A first workshop will focus on the impacts of differentiation strategies on the sustainability and resilience of territories to climate change.

A second workshop will focus on the theme of research on mountain territories, which are particularly affected by the effects of climate change

A third workshop will bring together researchers, experts and field actors, around the theme of “OneHealth” global health of ecosystems, animals and human populations, and strategies to restore or improve it.

A fourth workshop will review the resilience strategies of territories based on the search for food sovereignty, sometimes with a view to achieving food autonomy.

A final workshop will focus on the role of public policies in the agroecological transition of territories in the global context

On 19 October, the “International Mountain Conference” will open this edition of the ODT Forum, with 10 field visits in the morning and a plenary session in the afternoon. The following days will see the activities and debates of the different workshops
