ILEIA’s contribution to upscaling agroecology
- Since December 1984 ILEIA produced 127 issues of Farming Matters
- ILEIA collaborated in magazine making with twelve regional partner organisations
- Together the magazines are produced one global, five regional and seven local language editions and in eleven languages
- The magazines are read in every country of the world (according to Google)
- Together they reach (substantially) more than a million readers per quarter, in digital and paper format
- The total production cost per magazine per reader is less than one Euro
- Since 1984 ILEIA collaborated with at least 2000 authors who contributed articles to Farming Matters
- The outreach of their articles was up to 100 times higher than they would have got through a scientific journal
- About 50 editors worked in ILEIA since 1984
- Lastly, ILEIA worked with dozens of farmer philosophers, champions of agroecology, SRI, NPM, FMNR, and so on… Inspiring people whose contribution to sustainable development cannot be captured in simple figures and numbers.
