Agroecology and resilience of food systems

 

Thank you for agreeing to participate in this survey, which will take you about 10 minutes.

 

This survey is being carried out by the French National Research Institute for Sustainable Development (IRD) with two objectives. First, we seek to understand the perceptions and challenges of scaling-up agroecological approaches. Second, we want to analyze how food systems are affected by short-term (i.e. Covid19) and long-term (i.e. climate change) crises. The international survey is addressed to a large panel of food system actors from the production, research, supply-chain and decision-making sectors. Designed in three languages, each participant can respond in French, in English or Spanish.
