The Agroecology Knowledge Collective consists of researchers working at various institutions. The Collective plays a supportive role in the network. The working group is committed to strengthening and spreading knowledge about agroecology in the Netherlands (and beyond). We assist both the network as a whole and its member organizations and working groups in co-creating knowledge and resources to support their goals, ambitions, and concrete actions. Central to this is the importance of context-specific knowledge and skills from farming practices and farmer-to-farmer exchanges, as well as engaging in knowledge dialogues with others to achieve collective actions.

A variety of researchers are connected to this working group, all with diverse backgrounds, skills, experiences, and knowledge. Among them are researchers affiliated with institutions such as the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, University of Amsterdam, Wageningen University & Research, University of Twente, University of Groningen, the Copernicus Institute of Sustainable Development at Utrecht University, the Transnational Institute, freelance researchers, and some of our agroecological farmers themselves.
