A case against silver bullets: context assessments are key for agroecological transitions in diverse food systems

The agroecological context assessment of the CGIAR initiative on Agroecology in each of its Agroecological Living Landscapes aimed at: (a) determining the environmental, economic, and social context of the agricultural and food systems, (b) compiling data and information available as evidence of the context, and (c) determining to which extent the 13 agroecological principles are currently applied. The information compiled will serve as a baseline for the Initiative and inform the development of targeted interventions.
