LifeWatch ERIC and CREA to accelerate the farming system transition
On 28 and 29 May, LifeWatch ERIC and CREA will organise a meeting in the context of the Horizon Europe project “European partnership on accelerating farming systems transition—agroecology living labs and research infrastructures (AGROECOLOGY)“. The meeting will take place at the Council for Agricultural Research and Economics in Rome, Italy.
Our José Manuel Ávila-Castuera, Agroecology team Coordinator, Iria Soto Embodas, Agroecology Project Manager and Ana Mellado García, Project Executive Coordinator, will participate in the meeting representing LifeWatch ERIC.
The meeting will focus on the project’s tasks, following a participative approach of all partners involved in the Working Package 5 (Data and Monitoring Agroecology Transition). During the sessions, the participants will provide an overview of all the active tasks. The input during the discussions will be instrumental in advancing the different activities, such as the development of the data and monitoring plan and the co-design of the conceptual framework to monitor the agroecology transition.
The project spans 26 countries and responds to the urgent need for a sustainable, resilient, and environmentally conscious agriculture sector. Specifically, the project leverages natural, biological interactions alongside cutting-edge science, technology, and innovation. Living labs serve as real-life testing grounds, expediting the transition towards sustainable, resilient agriculture.
Research infrastructures contribute to disseminating agroecological knowledge. This project on agroecology transition aims to facilitate high-level research and generate technologies aligned with the Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda.
