Ahead of the EU Agriculture and Fisheries Council meeting on 26–27 October, Agroecology Europe has published an open letter expressing concern about proposed changes to the post-2027 Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) that could make EU support for organic farming and additional agroecological transition payments optional for Member States.

Brussels, 13 October 2026 – Agroecology Europe is today celebrating its tenth anniversary, having successfully connected researchers, farmers, civil society organisations and social movements, and having brought agroecological perspectives into European policy discussions.
Extremadura is showing how agroecology can evolve from isolated initiatives into a connected territorial movement. During a visit to the region, Agroecology Europe's President explored farms, cooperatives and research centres working together to strengthen resilient local food systems and make agroecology visible across the landscape.
Our understanding of agroecology
Agroecology is considered jointly as a science, a practice and a social movement . It encompasses the whole food system from the soil to the organization of human societies. It is value-laden and based on core principles.
our vision
Agroecology Europe intends to place agroecology high on the European agenda of sustainable farming and food systems. We foster interaction and knowledge sharing to create an inclusive European community of professionals, practitioners, and societal stakeholders in agroecology.
Our goals
The Association has a non-profit and international goal: it aims to analyse, design, develop, and promote the transition towards agroecological farming and food systems. Our goal is to support agroecological research, education, and training, share and disseminate agroecological knowledge, and promote agroecology in the farming and food sectors and in society.
