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.
