european network of agroecology

LifeWatch ERIC, as an active member of the European Network of Agroecology Living Labs and Research Infrastructures, will participate in the network’s upcoming Annual Meeting.

This in-person event will take place in Helsinki, Finland, from 5 to 8 November 2024, as part of the AGROECOLOGY Partnership (https://www.lifewatch.eu/agroecology-partnership/), and gathers key stakeholders dedicated to advancing agroecological transitions.

Iria Soto, Senior Scientific Manager, will represent LifeWatch ERIC, sharing research progress and engaging with other experts to discuss strategy and future collaborations.

The Network’s mission is to foster multi-actor collaborations that accelerate innovation for the agroecological transition: this transformative approach can bring significant economic, social, and environmental benefits to communities.

The synergy of Living Labs (as real-life testing environments) and Research Infrastructures (as facilities that provide resources and services for research communities), provides a powerful framework for multi-scale experimentation that merges practice with scientific research.

Together, these instruments are poised to accelerate the AE transition across Europe, supporting agricultural resilience and fostering sustainable development.

Through its participation, LifeWatch ERIC reaffirms its dedication to sustainable agricultural practices and advancing agroecology. The event will foster co-development of innovative solutions, informed policy design, and enhanced skills to support resilient and sustainable agroecosystems across Europe.
