Call for papers
The aim of the Agroecology Science Days is to open debates on a number of important agroecology themes for participants, who will work together to envisage a sustainable, fair and transparent food system. Our planet’s limits have been exceeded, but solutions exist to meet the challenge of respecting them, while taking social aspects into account.
The Scientific Committee invites you to get involved in the preparation of these Days by contributing your knowledge and experience in the field. The Journées are open to all, with the aim of establishing links between practical projects and research, whether it be disciplinary, interdisciplinary or transdisciplinary.
