The Conversations on Agroecology will form the first steps towards strengthening agricultural knowledge and innovation systems (AKIS) for agroecology transition by facilitating linkages between Living Labs & Research Infrastructures actors across Europe. The online conversations on agroecology will run on a monthly schedule throughout the Partnership and enable mobilisation and networking of agroecology actors across and beyond Europe.
The fourth Conversations on Agroecology talks about “Fostering agroecology transitions: Exploring the potential and constraints of agroecology living labs” and “LivingSoiLL – How Living Labs will work together to restore soil health on five European permanent crops”
