Valorisation Workshop & Kick-Off Meeting of the 1st co-funded call projects, 
The 1st co-funded call “Fostering agroecology at farm and landscape levels” resulted in the selection of 19 projects with a total funding of €37 million. A kick-off meeting of the 1st co-funded call projects was held on May 20-21 (2025) in Brussels. The meeting was organised back-to-back with a valorisation workshop, aimed at discussing the utilization and application of research projects funded under H2020 whose results are of benefit for the AGROECOLOGY Partnership.

28 May 2025. Conversation on Agroecology: Monitoring agroecological transition – from theory to practice



26 May 2025. Conversation on Agroecology: Agroecology living labs to transform food systems

  • Tiffanie F. Stone from the Aarhus University in Denmark
Tiffanie F. Stone presented a critical review developed by an interdisciplinary team of research in work package 7 of the Agroecology Partnership describing key characteristics and possibilities of transformative agroecology Living Labs (LL). Sustainable transition and innovation theories, and literature on agricultural knowledge and innovation systems were reviewed and connected with three core components of transformative agroecology LL: 1) aligning methods with agroecology principles, 2) utilizing place-based transformation approaches and 3) supporting a paradigm shift to participatory knowledge production. The team then identified three seeds of transformation which hold potential for supporting transformative agroecology LL as a new participatory paradigm at the science-policy-society nexus in Europe.

  • Ana Allamand from Soil Association in Scotland
Ana Allamand brought LLs concept to practice, highlighting common challenges and opportunities when implementing LLs and suggesting tools to address these challenges and maximise LL potential and impact. She also explored how to plan for LLs long term viability (beyond limited funding) to leverage them in the long run to sustain agricultural and food systems transformation.


Prof. Per Kudsk presented the outcomes of the EU-funded IWMPRAISE project, which explored practical, sustainable solutions for weed control through Integrated Weed Management (IWM) across Europe. Learn how innovative, low-input strategies can reduce herbicide reliance, support biodiversity, and improve resilience in farming systems.
