The International People’s Agroecology Movements, IPAM is a research-learning-action approach to agroecology that focuses on small-food producers and farming communities.
- IPAM promotes agroecology as a sustainable approach to agriculture and food production and development, in the framework of food sovereignty, ecological and social justice.
- It is an innovative approach developed by a network of farmers and women’s organisations, NGOs, researchers and academic institutions.
- IPAM is a network of Field Learning Sites (FLS) situated in different communities across regions. The FLSs are training centres or campuses of farmers’ fields, CSOs, institutions and universities that offers on-site learning on agroecological farming methods, innovations and techniques. The FLSs offer structured sessions, study tours, visits, immersions and exchanges among farmers, students.
The webinar highlighted the roles consumers play in the creation of a just, healthy, equitable and sustainable food system. With a focus on civic participation beyond consumption, transformation in food systems was explored through the lens of the consumer.
