SEAE (Sociedad Española de Agricultura Ecológica)

SEAE — the Sociedad Española de Agricultura Ecológica — is a Spanish scientific and professional association dedicated to the development and dissemination of agroecology and ecological farming. Based in Catarroja, Valencia, the organization was founded in 1992 and brings together researchers, farmers, advisors, educators, and institutions interested in the science and practice of sustainable food production. SEAE promotes an interdisciplinary approach to agroecology that integrates agronomic, ecological, social, and economic perspectives. The organization organizes an important biennial international congress on agroecology and organic agriculture, publishes scientific journals and technical manuals, and coordinates national training programs for farmers and agricultural professionals. SEAE works closely with universities, research centers, and government agencies to integrate agroecological knowledge into academic curricula and public policies. The association also plays an active role in European networks on organic farming and agroecological research, contributing Spanish expertise to broader European and global debates. Through its advocacy work, SEAE promotes the development of a regulatory and financial environment that supports the transition of Spanish agriculture toward more ecologically sound and economically resilient models, contributing to both environmental sustainability and rural development.
