What is agroecology, what are current efforts to promote its principles in soy production, and what more can be done to promote agroecological practices in mainstream soy markets? What are the economic, climate and biodiversity benefits, the benefits to producers and consumers? What are current obstacles for the promotion of more agroecological practices? We invite participants to read the publication attached beforehand but you can also jump in without. Presentations by IUCN NL & UBA (from Argentina), CSI Standards Working Group, and Probioma (from Bolivia).
