The launch of the Agroecology Transformative Partnership Platform (TPP) on June 3, 2021* brought together more than 460 people from 56 countries. Participants discussed practical solutions for transitioning to healthier, more inclusive food systems that will work with nature, not against it. Initiated by the CGIAR research programme on Forests, Trees and Agroforestry (FTA) and the French Republic via research institutions CIRAD, IRD and INRAE, and with its secretariat hosted by FTA at ICRAF, the Agroecology TPP will accelerate uptake of agroecology by addressing knowledge and implementation gaps, coordinating the work of key partners, and providing evidence to inform policymakers, practitioners and donors.
