Event
Cultivating Change: Building policy from the ground up
This is the third event in a series of four virtual roadshows, designed to take the findings of Agroecology-TRANSECT and disseminate broadly what they mean in practice.
This event brings together key policy experts, researchers and innovation hub leads to co-create a shared vision of our food and farming sector that is rooted in resilience and ecological integrity. Conversation will focus on how to create a policy landscape at regional, national and EU-wide level that supports agroecological transition in pragmatic and practical ways that also deliver tangible benefits farmers and communities.

Project Information:
Agroecology-TRANSECT is a Horizon Europe project exploring how nature-friendly farming is evolving across 11 countries in Europe and beyond, and how these practices can accelerate positive change for people, animals and the environment.
Over four years, 11 regional ‘innovation hubs’, in collaboration with university, research, and businesses partners, are generating robust evidence to help grow the agroecology from the ground up.
