Agroekologiska livsmedelssystem - Living labs för transformation av lantbruk och landskap

This partnership responds to the urgent need for an agroecological transformation of landscapes by leveraging a food systems approach, with targeted public procurement of regional, seasonal, agroecological food as a driver. Our approach is transdisciplinary, participatory and change-oriented by using action research in Living Labs (LLs).

This means bringing together an array of actors with diverse perspectives to collaboratively address challenges, explore solutions and drive tangible change in real world.

The LLs will operate iterative cycles of action and research, each of which will imply mapping the current situation, envisioning desired futures, and planning and taking informed actions.

Accompanying research by the project scientists will examine the LL processes and their outcomes in terms of indicators of agroecological transformation of landscapes.

The project builds on LLs in the southwest (PT, ES) and north (SE, DK, NO) of Europe, in locations where the consortium partners are actively engaged in initiatives encompassing multiple actor groups such as farmers, agricultural advisers, food distributors, canteen personnel and users, citizenry, municipalities and counties, including decision and policy makers.2.14.0.02.14.0.0
