People Behind IPAM
Meet the individuals and organisations driving IPAM's mission forward — advancing agroecology through knowledge, research, learning, and community action.
Our Team
IPAM is powered by a diverse network of agroecology practitioners, researchers, trainers, and advocates. Together, they build resources, facilitate participatory research, and deliver hands-on learning experiences across communities.

Knowledge Team
Maintains the one-stop agroecology resource centre, curating research papers, case studies, and evidence-based documentation.
Research Facilitators
Supports collaborative research forums, field documentation, and innovation-sharing among farmers and scientists.
Learning Coordinators
Designs and delivers structured courses, onsite workshops, online webinars, and peer-to-peer learning experiences.
Community Builders
Amplifies ground-level success stories and connects practitioners to inspire wider adoption of agroecological practices.
Action Advocates
Drives campaigning, networking, and mobilisation efforts through alerts, petitions, and coordinated action.
How We Work Together
IPAM operates as a collaborative platform rather than a hierarchical organisation. Contributors from different regions and disciplines work across interconnected areas:
- Knowledge — building and maintaining the agroecology resource centre.
- Research — facilitating participatory research and documenting innovations.
- Learning — running on-farm and online training, webinars, and field learning sites.
- Community Building — sharing inspiring stories from practitioners on the ground.
- Action — supporting campaigns, petitions, and mobilisation for food sovereignty.
