In 2014, the 1st International Symposium on
Agroecology for Food Security and Nutrition provided an opportunity to share experiences and build the evidence base on agroecology, as well as reaching a consensus on the priorities for achieving more sustainable food systems through agroecology.
For Brazil, international climate negotiations should not be focused on discussing REDD and other market - based mechanisms, but rather on the transition to a new production, distribution and consumption model based on
agroecology, on a solidarity - based economic approach, and on a diversified and decentralized energy matrix capable of ensuring
food security and sovereignty.
