Agroecology Europe

Agroecology Europe (AEEU) is a European non-profit organisation based in Belgium. It aims to analyse, design, develop and promote the transition towards agroecology-based farming and food systems in Europe. It intends to place agroecology high on the European agenda of sustainable development of farming and food systems. It aims to foster interactions between actors in science, practice, and social movements, by facilitating knowledge sharing and action. It supports the creation of an inclusive European community of professionals, practitioners and citizens engaged in agroecology.

Agroecology Europe develops advocacy activities for the attention of European Union institutions by publishing position papers, organizing policy workshops and conferences, contacting decision-makers and coordinating with other NGOs on joint actions. It promotes agroecology among citizens by producing videos, webinars, interviews, and leaflets.
