Agroecology - European Partnership on Accelerating Farming Systems Transition: Agroecology Living Labs and Research Infrastructures
With the aim of supporting an agricultural sector capable of responding to the goals and challenges of climate change, biodiversity loss, food security and sovereignty and environmental protection, while ensuring a profitable and attractive activity for farmers, Agroecology brings together the resources of partners to fund excellent research, generating knowledge and appropriate technologies aligned with the central themes of the partnerships and their Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda.
This co-funded partnership brings together 72 organizations from 26 countries, aligning national programmes to strengthen research and innovation on a pan-European scale. Agroecology will structure and support a network of living labs and research infrastructures that accelerate the transition to sustainable agricultural practices that respect the climate and ecosystems, with a view to:
- allow a better understanding of agroecological processes from the farm to the landscape;
- providing local-based innovation in co-creative environments;
- improve the flow and absorption of knowledge and innovation in agroecology.
FCT and INIAV - Instituto Nacional de Investigação Agrária e Veterinária, IP, are the Portuguese organizations that are part of Agroecology.
