This year’s International Agroecology Short Course has a special focus on conceptualizing and applying participatory action research (PAR) approaches in agroecology to develop and support sustainable food systems. In addition to providing a solid introduction to the field of agroecology, the course presents a critical overview of participatory approaches and methods, illustrated with long-term, ongoing PAR processes in the U.S., Latin America and Spain.  This year’s setting in beautiful Vermont will allow participants to learn about one of the strongest locally-driven food systems in the United States.
