2nd co-funded call
(pre announcement)
“Integrating environmental, economic and social perspectives in assessing the performance of agroecology. Value-chain and policy implications”
This call focuses on the performance of agroecology, under different aspects: evaluating this performance in its various dimensions, quantifying environmental impacts, transforming value chains, and contributing to the design of public policies to better support the transition.
Objectives
The Partnership will fund R&I projects providing significant contributions to the scope of the call either by developing new methods and technologies or by providing analyses of the potential impact of agroecology in terms of sustainability:
Topic 1: ⚖️Determine and assess benefits/impacts and trade-offs of agroecology, and identify best practices
Topic 2: 🔄Transform value chains, business models and policies to facilitate the transition to agroecology
The farm level involves practices within and around farms, while the landscape level considers broader territorial actions beyond individual farms, integrating various production systems and non-cultivated areas.
Proposals must adopt a multidisciplinary, integrated approach with a multi-actor perspective, involving scientists, farmers, consumers, and authorities. Co-design, co-assessment, and co-implementation of innovations are encouraged, with a focus on actionable knowledge and operational solutions. The proposals should address shared challenges across at least three participating countries in the AGROECOLOGY partnership.
Timeline and Submission Procedure
📅 Launch of the call is sheduled for December 2024.
