Abstract
In this report, we join a growing international effort to use the United Nations High-Level Panel
of Experts’ agroecological framework as a guiding reference for financing agricultural and
food-system development. These principles provide an framework to consider how PDBs can
advance equitable food systems transformation. Our scoping study combines multiple methods,
including 12 expert interviews, three focus groups, and a comprehensive literature review. We
present a series of PDB case studies that exemplify different ways these institutions are operationalizing
agroecological principles. Readers should note that PDBs differ significantly in their
structure and operation. This report is a scoping study intended to open discussion and points
to areas where more detailed research is needed to better understand current links between
PDBs and agroecology, and to explore new ways PDBs can more effectively support principles-
based agroecological development.
