This film was made in the framework of the Erasmus+ project called Euro-EducATES, Teaching agroecology in the transitory period and its consequences for the Agricultural Knowledge Systems. It starts in 2015 and ends in August 2018.
Five European countries (Austria, Italy, Slovenia, Lithuania and France) worked on this project and provided various approaches of agroecology and examples of applications in practice. You will discover different innovative approaches to agroecology, in each country. Professors, farmers, members of agricultural development institutions and so on explain their approaches of agroecology and the link between their work and this topic.
