Cover Story: Global agri-food systems face intertwined environmental and social crises that demand transformative, territory-based solutions. Agroecology has emerged as a paradigm integrating ecological sustainability, social equity, and participatory governance. This article examines the AgrEcoMed project as an empirical case of participatory agroecology in the Mediterranean, focusing on the co-creation of a multi-actor network and a shared Manifesto as tools for territorial regeneration. Through participatory action research, the study shows how collective learning and networking foster social innovation and support the agroecological transition toward more resilient local food systems. View this paper
