How can organic agriculture & agroecology contribute solving the climate crisis in a healthy world?

This vison paper first reflects on the history of the organic movement in the last 100 years. It then describes research examples of how organic agriculture with a deeper understanding of agroecology can contribute not only to the climate crisis, but the overall planetary health crisis, pollution, biodiversity loss, animal welfare and social discrimination. For the description of the present 2020-30, I will use examples of current Horizon 2020 research and innovation actions to improve organic (Organic-PLUS, RELACS) add more perennial and mixed farming (AGROMIX, MIXED) and a deepening agroecology (Agroecology for Europe, All-Ready) with plans for agroecological living labs and research infrastructures, shaping the participation and multi-actor part of Horizon Europe until 2030. The paper will then, as a novel contribution, add thoughts on the next 100 years of the organic movement. Looking so far ahead is of course difficult and highly speculative, but it is not uncommon as perspective in forestry or agroforestry. For this reason this conceptual paper takes the very-long view and describes and discusses an organic-plus pathway to solve the multiple planetary crises within the next 100 years.
