The Agroecology TPP (AE-TPP) was established to convene a large set of international, national and local partners who share the vision of filling research gaps and doing research differently in order to accelerate and co-ordinate the work on agroecology with the aim of fostering transitions to more sustainable agricultural and food systems. The Platform implements numerous projects across eight domains of work.
The Agroecology TPP Annual Members Forum Meeting is open to all institutions that formally engage in AE-TPP projects, are active in the AE-TPP’s science-policy or science-development interface, are represented in the governance and advisory bodies or have submitted an application form and agree to the membership charter. In addition to institutional members, individuals participating in the AE-TPP’s Community of Practice (CoP) are warmly welcomed to contribute to the annual meeting.
Prior to this annual meeting two previous forum meetings were held: the first one on 22-23 February 2023 at the Agropolis International headquarters in Montpellier, France; and the second one on 12-13 March 2024 on CIFOR-ICRAF’s campus in Nairobi, Kenya.
A consensus was reached on the sidelines of the 2024 Members Forum Meeting in Nairobi to host the next annual gathering in Southeast Asia, while aiming to give a bigger voice and representation to farmer-led organizations. One of the prevailing themes during the Nairobi meeting was the need for enhanced farmer agency in research, to bridge the existing gap between farmers and researchers. Another important dimension concerns strengthened policy engagement.
Following up on subsequent discussions with partners and guidance from the AE-TPP Steering Committee, it was agreed that the 2025 TPP annual meeting would take place in Hanoi, Viet Nam, co-organized by the AE-TPP Secretariat in collaboration with the Asian Farmers’ Association for Sustainable Rural Development (AFA) and the ASSET project. Further technical and logistical support was provided by CIFOR-ICRAF’s country office (building on contributions from the TRANSITIONS Program / Metrics project. Read the full report of the event
