AGROECOLOGY: Integrating environmental, economic and social perspectives in assessing the performance of agroecology. Value-chain and policy implications

AGROECOLOGY 2nd Co-funded Call Integrating environmental, economic and social perspectives in assessing the performance of agroecology. Value-chain and policy implications. The AGROECOLOGY partnership The AGROECOLOGY partnership relies on a common vision whereby a broad stakeholder constellation teams up to unlock the transition to agroecology so that farming systems are made resilient, productive and prosperous, place-sensitive, as well as climate-, environment-, ecosystem-, biodiversity- and people-friendly by 2050. It is based on the concept that we can address the challenges faced by the European agricultural sector through agroecology by bringing together farmers, researchers, and other relevant stakeholders to co-develop, test and monitor new practices, approaches and technologies in real-life contexts. Such a framework is typically adopted in living labs. The partnership will develop networks of living labs and research infrastructures to allow experimentation between practice and science at different levels in order to develop and enhance the concrete and place-based implementation of innovations. This approach will also provide knowledge- and evidence-based information about how to assess the potential performance and impacts of agroecological practices in both the short and the long-term. Expected Impact With this second call, the AGROECOLOGY partnership continues the implementation of the priorities identified in AGROECOLOGY’s strategic research...
