Agroecology Greece

Agroecology Greece is a network of researchers, farmers, educators, and civil society organizations working to promote agroecological farming practices and sustainable food systems throughout Greece. Based in Thessaloniki, the network facilitates knowledge exchange, collaborative research, and public awareness activities related to agroecology — a science and practice that applies ecological principles to the design and management of food systems. Agroecology Greece connects practitioners from diverse agricultural backgrounds with academic institutions and international agroecology networks, contributing to the development of locally adapted knowledge on organic and low-input farming, soil health, biodiversity, and food sovereignty. The organization participates in European research and policy processes related to sustainable food and farming, representing Greek agroecological perspectives in broader continental discussions. Agroecology Greece organizes workshops, farm visits, and training programs that give farmers and students direct access to practical agroecological knowledge. The network also engages with policymakers to advocate for agricultural policies that support the transition to more ecological farming systems and that recognize the multiple environmental and social benefits of agroecology beyond simple food production. By building a connected community of practice around agroecological principles in Greece, the network contributes to a more resilient and sustainable agricultural future for the country.
