Schola Campesina is an international agroecology school, based in the Italian biodistrict Via Armerina e delle Fore.We facilitate processes of knowledge exchange in view of strenghtening food producers’ organizations worldwide in their struggle for Food sovereignty and agroecology, centering local and indigenous knowledge. Based on the Nyéléni International Forum for Agroecology (2015) and on the principles of ‘Dialogo de saberes’ and Popular Education, Schola Campesina creates the conditions for constructive knowledge exchange and facilitates horizontal learning processes amongst agroecology organisations, and also with academics and NGOs.
