In May 2016, the AgroEcology Fund (AEF) and
the Alliance for Food Sovereignty in Africa
(AFSA) brought grassroots organisers, advocates
and donors together in a Learning Exchange to
share experiences and ideas about how to
amplify agroecology. The AgroEcology Fund is
a consortium of progressive foundations that are
committed to supporting agroecological solutions
across the globe. The exchange in Uganda was
initiated to deepen understanding of current and
future efforts to amplifying agroecology, and to learn
how the AEF could better support this work.
Through creative small group activities such as
poster making and theatre exercises, field visits, public
events and various other dynamic learning
methodologies, a rich, collective pool of knowledge.
Throughout the various sessions of the Learning
Exchange, lessons were shared on successful strategies
for the amplification of agroecology. We talked about
when, how and why these strategies had been
successful, or not, and how they might be improved.
