Call for Agroecology Research: Promoting agroecology at farm and territorial level
The European AGROECOLOGY partnership is a research and innovation programme that aims to accelerate the agro-ecological transition by developing a network of living labs and research infrastructures, enabling the production of innovative solutions through a multi-stakeholder approach and experimentation in real-life situations.
The objective of the first call of the AGROECOLOGY partnership is to fund transdisciplinary research and innovation projects addressing the agroecology transition of both conventional and organic farming systems.
Projects are expected to study and implement agroecology at two geographic scales:
Theme 1 – at the farm level and its immediate surroundings;
Theme 2 – at the landscape or territorial level.
Proposals should demonstrate a multidisciplinary and integrated approach with a multi-actor perspective. They should consider the problems and challenges from a European perspective and beyond. Projects may be based on existing living labs or bring together different actors following the living lab approach. Research Infrastructures could be incorporated to complement the living lab approach. R&I questions should address actual needs of stakeholders, in co-creation processes together with end-users and integrate their practical knowledge.
