From Policies to Practices: An Agroecological Approach to Transition
09.10.2024, 18.00-19.30
HU Berlin, Unter den Linden 6, Senatssaal
Agroecology offers a framework to rethink agriculture within the broader context of food systems and proposes a pathway to reconcile agricultural practices with environmental dimensions. This KOSMOS lecture argues that reconfiguring agricultural practices requires a transformation of dietary patterns and the evolution of environmental policies. Elements of intermediation between policy and practice, such as agricultural advisory services, value chains, and territorial policies, are essential to develop multi-level governance dynamics towards a sustainability transition.
Philippe Baret is a Professor of Genetics, Systems Analysis, and Agroecology at Université de Louvain (UCLouvain) in Belgium. He holds an Agricultural Engineering degree (1986) and a Ph.D. in Quantitative Genetics (1998) from UCLouvain.
Moderation: Peter H. Feindt, Professor of Agricultural and Food Policy at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin
About the lecture series
The KOSMOS Lecture Series is a joint initiative of Open Humboldt – the “contact zone” at HU Berlin for more exchange between science and society – and IRI THESys. On two evenings per semester, researchers from a wide range of disciplines talk about anthropogenic environmental and climate change in an understandable way and invite the broad public for discussion.
Entrance is free of charge.
