How do we scale up & scale out agroecology across Europe? Researchers, farmers, policymakers & practitioners tackled that question at @agtransect.bsky.social final event in Brussels Full recordings are available, including discussions on: • lessons from 11 Innovation Hubs 👉 doi.org/10.1007/s116...

• evidence for agroecology's environmental benefits 👉 doi.org/10.1016/j.ag... • policy priorities for accelerating transition 👉 doi.org/10.1002/pan3... • how researchers & practitioners can work together more effectively 👇 doi.org/10.1080/2168... (Spain) ecologyandsociety.org/vol30/iss2/a... (DK)

• agroecology as a social movement (Luján Soto et al. to read soon under DOI 10.1080/21683565.2026.2703206) Whether you're a researcher, adviser, policymaker or farmer, there's something here for you 👉 www.agroecology-transect.org/toolkit-reso... #agroecology #research #practice #movement #policy

👋 New paper from @agtransect.bsky.social led by @agroscope.bsky.social 👩‍🌾 Social norms are key drivers for scaling up #agroecology 🐮 Farmers intentions to adopt agroecological practices were higher for recycling & synergy-related practices 👉 doi.org/10.1016/j.ec... #grassland #Switzerland #nudges

👋 New paper from @agtransect.bsky.social ✅ Interviews, participatory mapping and analysis of monetary value distribution along the value chain allowed identifying 15 barriers / 14 levers for the agroecological transition of traditional chestnut farms in Spain 👉 doi.org/10.1080/2168... #agroecology

A beautiful short film celebrating the diversity and strength of our 11 Innovation Hubs. These local networks are the beating heart of the @agtransect.bsky.social project, representing a broad range of European agricultural systems, geographical areas and bioclimatic zones.

In front of the European Parliament with our policy briefs: We plead for a better enabling environment for #agroecology. We need an ambitious CAP, a successful NRR and a food policy to complement them. Farmers need continuity and the right incentives. Read here 4 more: www.agroecology-transect.net

Session 3 of #agroecology at the @agtransect.bsky.social meeting: focusing on the experiences of Innovation Hubs. Si much reflective work and learning, much learning & adaptation during the project - but lack of institutional support, and no ears among policymakers. We need long term partnerships.

Round table discussion on social movements in #agroecology here in Brussels feat. @organicseurope.bsky.social @foeeurope.bsky.social and Agroecology Europe

Session 1 on agroecology as a social movement: Raquel Lujan-Soto presents #agroecology as an emerging concept but one at risk of greenwashing or co-opting. Scoping is important: we need to define what it is, and what it isn't, and avoid misinterpretation.

#agroecology: final project event in Brussels, presenting the key outcomes of @agtransect.bsky.social. @bdumontae.bsky.social opening the event - starting with project manifesto and our work avross 11 Innovation Hubs across Europe.

Another policy brief is ready - on the mismatches between indicators used in policy versus practice - based on a recently submitted paper. @cleliasirami.bsky.social developed the policy brief and will present it in our event next week. Join us to hear why this is critical for a Result-based CAP!

Fresh off the press! 📄We find that crop fields and semi-natural grasslands support complementary #biodiversity across #Europe. Semi-natural habitats alone are insufficient to ensure farmland biodiversity - biodiversity-friendly management of crop fields is essential. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
