Dear colleagues from the Geography Department,
It’s our pleasure to invite you to a KOSMOS-Lesung given by Prof. Philippe Baret (UCLouvain) on 9th of October. In his lecture, Prof. Baret will show us how agroecology can help to rethink agriculture. We are looking forward to a joint discussion!
KOSMOS-Lesung by Philippe Baret
From Policies to Practices: An Agroecological Approach to Transition
Wednesday, 09 October, 18.00 - 19.30
HU Berlin, Unter den Linden 6, Senate hall (1st floor)
No registration needed.
Abstract below!
Agroecology offers a framework to rethink agriculture within the broader context of food systems and proposes a pathway to reconcile agricultural practices with environmental dimensions. This KOSMOS lecture argues that reconfiguring agricultural practices requires a transformation of dietary patterns and the evolution of environmental policies. Elements of intermediation between policy and practice, such as agricultural advisory services, value chains, and territorial policies, are essential to develop multi-level governance dynamics towards a sustainability transition.
Philippe Baret is a Professor of Genetics, Systems Analysis, and Agroecology at Université de Louvain (UCLouvain) in Belgium. He holds an Agricultural Engineering degree (1986) and a Ph.D. in Quantitative Genetics (1998).
Moderation: Peter Feindt, Professor of Agricultural and Food Policy at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin
About the lecture series
The KOSMOS-Lesungen are in the tradition of one of the most famous lecture series in the German history of science: Alexander von Humboldt's Kosmos lectures. Around 200 years ago, the natural scientist spanned the entire world and all disciplines of science. Today's KOSMOS lectures are dedicated to the challenging transformation processes in the age of the Anthropocene.
