The Agroecology Initiative (AEI) aims to contribute to achieving Agroecological Transitions (AET) through developing and scaling a range of innovations (technical, social, economic, and political) in 8 countries across three continents. It proposes to do so by using a participatory action-research approach involving the key stakeholders of the Agroecological Living Landscapes (ALLs), multi-stakeholder territorial spaces in each country on which the Initiative targets its transformation and innovation efforts. As part of Work Package (WP) 1 titled “Transdisciplinary Co-creation of Innovations in Agroecological Living Landscapes (ALL)”, a visioning exercise was considered as a necessary planning tool for guiding the collective action in the ALLs to trigger agroecological transitions. Explicit vision formulation facilitates the establishment of common goals and the identification of shared challenges that need to be addressed through the collaboration among different types of food system actors. Additionally, a visioning exercise was considered necessary to identify specific agroecological principles to be developed by each ALL and propose the needed actions that can trigger context-relevant transition pathways. Considering this action-oriented approach, the visioning exercise included the development of action plans, identifying food system actors per action and the necessary behaviour changes required by each of them to attain the proposed shared visions. Therefore, the exercise developed was renamed Vision-to-Action (V2A). Far from static images, visions were considered live horizons that necessarily change as the context, assets, actions, capacities, and aspirations of the stakeholders transform partly because of the activities of the AE-I. Therefore, this report focuses on a first iteration of the V2A process in which participatory workshops were developed by each of the country teams in their respective ALLs. The report also emphasizes the place of V2A in the bro
