Vincent Dauby, Researcher in agroecology
Vincent has been around in the agroecology bubble for 10 years now. It all started when he decided to turn his career around and to get more involved in the local and social alternative activities in his Belgian city of Liege. He met peasants and activists and was introduced to agroecology and food sovereignty. After being part of various agroecological initiatives in Belgium and abroad (vice-president of a union of small farmers, part of the coordination team of Agroecology in Action, woofing, participation in the Nyeleni Forum 2016, etc.), Vincent started a Master in agroecology. With his new diploma in hand, Vincent worked for a Belgian NGO as the food and sovereignty officer where he coordinated the Belgian Coalition against Hunger. His last job brought him to the international level of agriculture where he took part in negotiations on climate and agroecology, on finance for agroecology, on global food governance. Now Vincent is a researcher for agroecology at Agroecology Europe and is working on various projects: SOLO, Path2DEA, AGROMIX, and AE4EU.
