The ATTER project develops an interdisciplinary and multi-sectoral exchange program for scaling up agroecological transitions for territorial food systems.
The production of field vegetables and salad crops is highly dependent on transplanted seedlings that are grown in media often containing peat.
This research programme comprises a growing number of research projects, doctoral studies, academic publications and outreach activities. Subtle Agroecologies “is not a farming system in itself, but superimposes a non-material dimension upon existing, materially-based agroecological farming systems. It is grounded in the lived experiences of humans working on, and with, the land, and with nature over thousand of years to the present.” (Wright, 2021)
COACH will help coordinate strategies and disseminate good practices on how to strengthen territorial food systems and collaborative agri-food chains based on three building blocks: short food supply chains, civic food networks and sustainable public sector food procurement.
The FOOdIVERSE project aims to produce practice-oriented knowledge on how diversity in diets, novel food supply chains and food governance contributes to more organic and sustainable food systems.
This research project explores how the hill-bred Welsh Mountain Pony, a local and hardy breed that has graced our landscape for centuries, have undergone a dramatic decline such that there is only around 400 left now.
The project aims to fill the scientific knowledge gap in peat-free plant production in ornamental horticulture.
To critically evaluate the conditions in which place-based public food procurement networks, utilising open-source socio-technical innovations can scale to deliver the transformative changes needed for socially just transitions in food systems.
This pilot project will explore spatial transitions and relational transformations experienced by animals due to interventions in their lives by humans
This project will determine the ability of purpose-built, large-scale biofiltration cells downstream from a large informal settlement to treat contaminated runoff resulting from dysfunctional sanitation and limited urban drainage infrastructure.
This project will look at how processes of ‘innovation’ in agroecology and food sovereignty – what does it look like, is it different from other innovation approaches, and how do agroecological innovations spread around? The goal is to support farmers, communities and social movements in developing approaches to innovation that can help to develop agroecology as an alternative paradigm to corporate-industrial agriculture.
The overall aim of the ‘Organic-PLUS project’ (O+) is to provide high-quality, trans-disciplinary, scientifically informed decision support to help all actors in the organic sector, including national and regional policy makers, to reach the next level of the organic success story in Europe.
This study seeks to quantify the effectiveness of these practices by measuring changes in vegetation, soil quality and wildlife and livestock use, associated with livestock corral sites.
This project aims to identify whether factors associated with soil health influence ash tree susceptibility to ash dieback disease.
The overarching objective of UNDERTREES is to form an international and inter-sectoral network of 15 organisations in 3 continents (Europe, Africa and South America) working on a joint research programme in the field of agroforestry (AF) and ecosystem services (ES) assessment.
The objective of this preliminary research is to elaborate a 3-year participatory action research (PAR) project on the governance of natural resources for food sovereignty.
The purpose of the study is to explore the motivations and practices of self-defined minimalists (or those who associate themselves with minimalist practice) and to explore minimalism’s potential link to sustainable consumption practices.
The overall purpose of SAFERUP! is to inform the design, operation and installation of the next generation of urban pavements.
Exploring the physical and metabolic context, scenarios for economic valorisation and political processes that can enable alternative metabolic capabilities, and specific practices and configurations that food growing communities could develop to regain control over resources.
AGROforestry and MIXed farming systems knowns as Agromix is participatory research to drive the transition to a resilient and efficient land use in Europe.
