Summary description
What are the impacts and benefits of Agroecology in environmental, social and economic terms? Is it possible to build indicators in Agroecology? Providing answers to these and other questions about how to measure the impact of Agroecology is one of the objectives of the AGROECOLOGY IN LATIN AMERICA project, developed by a network of 10 organizations coordinated by Cepagro (NGO from southern Brazil) and in partnership with the University of Britsh Columbia and the Inter-American Foundation. This network of organizations have been collecting data from 255 farming families in seven latin american countries
in order to build agroecology indicators. By 2025, the goal is to reach 450 farming families.
