The goal of the work was a deepened knowledge among different stakeholders in Sweden and globally about the need for a transition of the agriculture sector to an approach based on ecosystem services, biodiversity, nutrient circulation, local knowledge and cross-learning. The goal was also a deepened policy dialogue in the Swedish context that could also have implications on the global level.
Key words for the project were agro-ecology, food security, small-scale farmers, planetary boundaries, sustainable development, pro-poor rural development, cross learning and agricultural transformation.
