How do the innovation platforms and facilitated networks currently deployed in the Global South help trigger dynamics of collaborative innovation that can be useful for the agroecological transition? What are the difficulties encountered and how can they be overcome? This chapter throws lights on these questions.

Food and Nutritional Security (FNS), understood as the availability and access to quality food, is fundamental for human development.
