TRANSITION TO AGROECOLOGY —WHAT ROLE DOES ECOCIDE LAW PLAY?

Oxford Real Farming Conference
Wesley Memorial Methodist Church, Speakers’ Hall

Watching the devastation wrought on our food systems and landscapes can feel overwhelming.

How can we push for meaningful change on a global scale? One promising solution gaining momentum is ecocide as an international criminal law. In September 2024, Vanuatu, Fiji, and Samoa, formally proposed an ecocide amendment to the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court signalling a historic step toward holding environmental destruction accountable.

The implementation of ecocide law could transform global food production by deterring harmful practices and creating a fairer playing field for those who farm sustainably and in harmony with nature. Join our panel to explore how this groundbreaking law might drive a powerful shift toward regenerative farming, safeguarding the future of our food and ecosystems for generations to come.

Speakers: Jojo Mehta, Martin Lines, Rob Percival
