A key challenge is the development of international and national policies that enable ecoagriculture. EcoAgriculture Partners is working with diverse partners to mobilize strategic policy actions to support and scale up ecoagriculture. Actions include integrating ecoagriculture objectives into national and international policy frameworks, and promoting coordination between agriculture, conservation, and rural development policies.
EcoAgriculture Partners is also working with partners, especially within the Landscapes for People, Food and Nature Initiative, to study and track key international and national policy issues and processes that impact ecoagriculture. This research includes the development of a ‘policy framework’ and 'policy guide' designed to help organizations target key enabling policies for ecoagriculture, and to inform policymakers of the most effective policies for supporting ecoagriculture programs and outcomes.
EcoAgriculture Partners collaborated with Yale University and CIESIN at Columbia University to develop the first-ever national-level indicators of the environmental performance of agriculture for the Environmental Performance Index.
