On the occasion of celebrating the World Environmental Education Day, the EUKI project “Climate Action to the Table ” organises the talk “School Agroecology: realities, challenges and perspectives”.
The meeting will be attended by Montse Escutia, an agronomist specialising in ecological agriculture and coordinator of the training activities of the Vida Sana Association, and Germán Llerena, an environmental educator from the Environment Department of the Sant Cugat Town Council (Barcelona). Both are authors of several reference publications on agroecology in schools.
The key points to be discussed will be the new approaches to school agroecology as an educational proposal -considering the main challenges related to the transformation of the school food system- based on real projects and experiences in schools. The importance of contact with local farmers, why to do so and how to take advantage of it from the school garden itself will also be highlighted.
School agroecology, understood as a field of education research and action, promotes the involvement of children and young people in the transformation of the school food system, considering its different stages (production, transformation, commercialisation/exchange, consumption, and waste management).
