The activity brought together representatives of public and private institutions, social movements, research centers, the academic sector, among others.

On this occasion, IICA received support from the Bank of Brazil, and from the Ministries of Environment and National Integration.

Participants learned of experiences in four countries: Spain, France, Portugal and Mexico. This was followed by presentations on the experiences of six states in Brazil in the application of public policies in different territories, and then a plenary session.

In the plenary, faculty members from the post-graduate course on Social Sciences in Development, Agriculture and Society, of the Observatory of Public Policies for Agriculture, presented proposals and recommendations for strengthening the linkage between public policies and social actors, based on the stories, discussions and the perspective of the participating public and private entities.
