Agroecology Partnership Call for Pre proposals. Integrating environmental economic and social perspectives in assesing the performance of agroecology. Value-chain and policy implications.
Agriculture faces challenges in food security, climate adaptation, and sustainability, requiring a transition to agroecology. The AGROECOLOGY partnership’s second call focuses on two areas: evaluating agroecology’s long-term performance across environmental, economic, and social dimensions, and transforming value chains and policies to support this transition. Proposals should use a multi-actor, co-creation approach, including Living Labs, to drive innovation in both conventional and organic farming systems.
