Concept of the Symposium
At the Second International Symposium on Agroecology held in Rome in 2018, the United Nations (UN) initiated the Scaling Up Agroecology Initiative, to transcend the global challenges such as climate change, biodiversity loss, hunger, and social inequality. Echoing this initiative, the countries in the Global North recently launched their respective new agri-food policies aiming to transform their current food systems toward more sustainable systems. The European Green Deal, 2019 and Farm to Fork Strategy, 2020; the United States’ Agriculture Innovation Agenda, 2020; and Japan’s Strategy for Sustainable Food Systems (MeaDRI), 2021 are examples of these efforts.
Although these greening policies are rapidly gaining visibility in agri-food debates, they are also highly questioned by scientists, farmers’ organizations, civil society organizations because of their insufficiency, incoherency, lack of budget or support, and missing participatory approaches. The UN Food System Summit held in 2021 was a symbolic event for both countries that promoted their greening agri-food policies and the civil society organizations that boycotted and overtly criticized these initiatives.
Against this backdrop, the Association for Regional Agricultural and Forestry Economics (ARAFE) will organize two consecutive international symposia on “Scaling Up Agroecology from Policies to Practices” in 2023 and 2024. The international symposium of 2023 focuses on “Emerging Policies and Contradictions in the Global North.” We have invited three speakers to analyze the greening of agri-food policies and their consequences and contradictions in the EU, the US, and Japan with interdisciplinary approaches.
