The Organizing Committee of the National Agroecology Symposium invites calls for delegates and exhibitors from interested researchers and practitioners.
Type of abstracts for papers, posters and exhibitions
The conference will be hybrid to provide an opportunity for researchers and academia to present their work and for farmers, practitioners and policymakers to share their experiences and/or advocate for certain interventions and pathways. The conference will therefore accept abstracts and posters within the following categories:
- Traditional academic/research abstracts,
- Practitioners’ views and experiences
- Policy briefs.
- Creative arts (spoken word, animations, music, graffiti, dance, paintings etc.)
- Exhibitions and side events
Abstract submissions should be structured as follows;
For Papers and Posters
1. Theme Selection
Participants will be invited to choose from the key themes identified for the symposium. These themes cover critical areas such as policy and governance, agroecological practices for climate resilience, financing and market development, scientific evidence, and the role of women and youth in agroecology. By selecting a theme, participants can focus their concept papers on specific areas of interest or expertise, ensuring that their contributions are aligned with the symposium’s objectives.
Guidance for Theme Selection:
- Participants should select a theme that best matches their knowledge, experience, or area of work.
- Participants can choose to focus on a single theme or explore the intersections between multiple themes, depending on their interest and expertise.
