Partners

The AGROECOLOGY Partnership, funded by Horizon Europe, unites the European Commission and 111 partners across 31 Member States, Associated Countries, and Third Countries. This ambitious initiative aligns national programs to enhance research and innovation on a pan-European scale. Dedicated to fostering a sustainable, resilient, and farmer-friendly agriculture sector, the Partnership tackles climate change, biodiversity loss, and food security. Agroecology, inspired by natural interactions and advanced technology, incorporates farmers' knowledge to address diverse challenges. Through Living Labs (LLs) and Research Infrastructures (RIs), the Partnership expedites the transition to agroecology.
