This project was born from an idea, carried by a collective of 4 NGOs (Gret, Cari, Agrisud, AVSF), research organizations (CIRAD, INRAE, IRD), a higher school of agronomy (Institut Agro - Montpellier SupAgro) and 2 publishers (QUAE, Editions du Gret): to publish a reference book on agroecology, inspired by the principles that made the success of the "Mémento de l’agronome". In 20 years, the latter has become an essential book for agronomists, development agents, trainers, and students. The aim of the project is to publish a book that responds to the enormous need for training in agroecology in the North and South, which requires new skills, the implementation of holistic and transdisciplinary approaches, and the inclusion of stakeholders in participatory approaches. It is supported by an Editorial Committee of around twenty scientists and experts, a steering committee and leaded by a coordination pair (scientist / NGO expert). It is divided into 3 phases: a preparatory phase to design the summary, the editorial charter and seek additional funding (2021), a writing and proofreading phase (2022-2023) and a phase of production and dissemination of the book in both paper and open access digital form, in french and in english (2024).
