Policy brief: How Living Labs and Research Infrastructures can support the Agroecology Transition in Europe – Key messages of the final conference

We urgently need resilient and sustainable agri-food systems. The ALL-Ready and AE4EU (Agroecology for Europe, the sister CSA project of ALL-Ready) projects have taken the initial steps towards facilitating this essential transition. The increasing prominence of Agroecology on the political agenda is an important step in achieving the Green Deal and in particular the Farm to Fork and Biodiversity strategies. The adoption of open innovation methodologies, such as living labs, which encourage co-creation in real-life settings with the active participation of all relevant stakeholders, is key to achieving long term impact.
