Situation

The objective of the study is to document and analyze different approaches of learning, sharing and generating knowledge (with a particular focus on co-creation of knowledge) on agroecological practices that are applied in the case study projects. Thereby, the impact of success as well as hindering factors shall be analyzed with regard to the expansion of agroecological practices at a large scale. The study shall be based on a systematic analysis of case studies in Colombia, Guatemala, Togo and Kenya. It will provide a basis for strengthening further agroecological practices worldwide.
