Dear Friends and Colleagues

Grassroots Evidence for Agroecology

The Grassroots Evidence for Agroecology (GEA) initiative started in 2020 to pilot test and develop a process to support grassroots organisations’ efforts to build and communicate evidence to their target audiences and demonstrate their impact. During the pilot phase, participants developed four cases which present strong evidence that agroecology can be scaled as the foundation of sustainable and equitable food systems across the world.

In 2024, the initiative was expanded to include 15 more grassroots organisations, and the resulting evidence-based cases are now organized into an Online Catalogue of Evidence-Based Cases for Agroecology, a collaborative platform for sharing evidence built from the grassroots perspective. The cases were developed by grassroots organisations using a structured approach to turn their knowledge and experiences into compelling arguments for agroecology. By using rigorous evidence to support their claims, these cases aim to influence farmers, communities, donors, policymakers, researchers and consumers—key actors in the transformation of food systems.
