"Some speakers also highlighted the importance of civil society, land policy reform, investment in ecological initiatives, and participatory research practices that involve farmers directly. Concerns were raised around seed sovereignty, weak regulatory environments, and the erosion of local knowledge systems like community seed banks ... agroecology is not merely a farming technique—it is a pathway to deep social and ecological transformation."
