Agroecology TRANSECT Virtual Roadshow
Exploring the Barriers and Levers to Agroecology in Europe with the Soil Association
Join researchers, farmers and innovators from the Agroecology-TRANSECT project for a deep dive into the barriers and levers to the agroecology movement across Europe.
We know climate-smart, nature-based farming should be the norm across Europe, for the environment and long-term farm resilience. So what’s helping this ambition, and what’s hindering it?
Researchers from Centre Wallon de Recherches Agronomiques (CRA-W) in Belgium, alongside three agriculture-based Innovation Hubs (in Spain, the Netherlands and Slovenia), explore the barriers and levers affecting the uptake of agroecology in farming across Europe.
Speakers:
Research from CRA-W
Scientific officerPauline Cassartdiscusses her research, exploring how each of the project’s 11 Innovation Hubs are negotiating challenges and capitalising on successes.
Agronomist Marie-Hélène Delhove discusses the DynAEs survey, which looks at a wide range of agroecological projects across Europe, assessing their progress as well as the issues that have hindered progress.
Experiences from Innovation Hubs
Maria van Boxel runs a Strip-cropping network in the Netherlands, practicing and testing strip-cropping techniques with farmers, to both increase agrobiodiversity, reduce inputs and improve farm profitability.
Alexandra Waldmann manages a veg box scheme in Ljubljana, Slovenia. As well as delivering fresh, local and organic produce, the project works with farmers and growers to share knowledge, and engages with customers about the importance of creating healthy food systems.
Elisa Oteros-Rozas campaigns alongside her community in Sierra de Aracena in southwest Spain, bringing together agricultural workers, ecological knowledge and agroecological innovations for a more resilient agri-food system.
