D1.1 ENFASYS Conceptual Framework, is available on our website! 📝 This framework lays the foundation for understanding and driving transitions toward sustainable food systems by: 🌍 Applying systems thinking to uncover barriers and opportunities. 🌱 Exploring behavioural factors influencing farmers’ choices. 🏛️ Addressing public interventions like CAP policies. 🤝 Highlighting private strategies and social innovations. Rooted in the Multilevel Perspective (MLP) on sustainability transitions, it connects behavioural insights with systemic approaches for meaningful impact. 🌟 📥https://lnkd.in/dXFdNidH #SustainableAgriculture #FoodSystems #SystemsThinking #ENFASYS Rebekka Frick Robert Home ILVO (Instituut voor Landbouw, Visserij- en Voedingsonderzoek) CEJA Young Farmers The Association of Balkan Eco-Innovation GAIA ΕΠΙΧΕΙΡΕΙΝ MBS School of Business NIBIO Norwegian Institute of Bioeconomy Research Université catholique de Louvain Institut de l'Elevage (idele) Sytra - UCLouvain Teagasc Alma Mater Studiorum – Università di Bologna Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin Research Institute of Organic Agriculture FiBL

"Despite the relatively high number of current measures, Member States are still not capable of appropriately reacting to weather or nature-related crises." 🌍 The Presidency of the Council of Europe stresses the urgent need for faster, targeted responses to the pressing climate and environmental challenges facing our agricultural sector. At Eco-Ready, we are committed to addressing these issues head-on by providing real-time data and critical insights into the factors affecting food security. Our project aims to support farmers and policymakers with accurate, up-to-date information through our observatory and Policy Hub, ensuring that the agricultural sector is well-equipped to handle crises and adapt to changing conditions. With a focus on sustainable practices and economic protection for producers, Eco-Ready is dedicated to mobilizing civil society, businesses, and consumers to drive meaningful change in production and consumption patterns. By promoting a more nuanced understanding of human behavior and enhancing the resilience of our food systems, we strive to ensure a sustainable and secure future for European agriculture.

📰 The First Newsletter from the ACT4CAP27 Horizon Europe Project has been launched. The #ACT4CAP27 project adopts a comprehensive food system approach, focusing on building analytical capacity for the quantitative assessment of the impacts of upcoming agri-food policies on the economic, social (including health), environmental, and climate sustainability of food systems. The first 10 months from the project implementation have passed, and this newsletter shows the lessons and preliminary results of the Project.

Climate change extreme cold hit the wine industry in the B.C. Okanagan Valley last winter. It essentially killed most of the red grapes in the valley. How do we make the winery and other agricultural producers more resilient to extreme climate? Innovation adoption is key in this industry to drive climate smart agriculture and create value adding industries that help foster new technology investments and sustainable jobs. I will be attending International Forum on Biotechnology and Bioeconomy in Bologna Italy Oct 3-4th and participate in a panel discussion with Italian and European colleagues on the importance value chains from Agriculture to Industries.

🌍 The PrAEctiCe project, in which our GeMMA laboratory participates, is paving the way for environmentally friendly agri-food systems in East Africa! Funded under the Horizon Europe program, the project aims to encourage the transition to agroecological practices by leveraging advanced technology and innovation to support smallholder farmers. Our goal is to improve food security, strengthen agricultural resilience, and promote the sustainable use of resources such as energy, water, and nutrients. 💡 As part of the project, we are developing digital decision support tools that will: - Provide tailored advice and data for farmers and advisors. - Integrate modern technologies such as mobile applications, sensors, and data collection platforms. - Ensure access to useful information even for those with limited digital resources via SMS and other solutions. 📢 At the recent PrAEctiCe Agroecology Summit, the head of our laboratory, Prof. Dr. Domen Mongus, presented advanced solutions to accelerate the transition to agroecology using digital tools. 🧐 Why does this matter? By bringing together researchers, farmers, and industry stakeholders, we are bridging the gap between traditional practices and modern technology, contributing to sustainable development in Africa and beyond.
