The communities Biowatch is engage AVACLIM factsheets are presenting the history and characteristics of Agroecological Initiatives throughout the world. They also contain an analysis of the agroecology level of the initiatives, using 10 criterias.
The mission of Biowatch is to challenge the industrialised food system and demonstrate agroecology as a means of ensuring biodiversity while attaining food and seed sovereignty and social justice.
The initiative is focused around smallholder family farmers, self-organised as local farmer groups. The farmers implement a number of inter-linked agroecological practices which build new knowledge on the basis of experimentation and traditional and indigenous knowledge of farming, seed and food.
