Agroecology-Transect

The overall objective of TRANSECT is to contribute to unfolding the full potential of agroecology for European agriculture by strengthening the knowledge base for farmers, advisors, and supporting decision makers, and by developing robust evidence of the positive effects of agroecology on climate change mitigation, biodiversity and farm socio-economic resilience. Along with this objective, TRANSECT will provide these actors with knowledge on the key enablers and innovations as well as the barriers to actual uptake at farm and territory levels, contributing to a dependable knowledge base for EU policy design and implementation. This objective will be achieved by: i) fostering local co-created knowledge by engaging in real-life agroecological contexts; ii) providing locally relevant tools and indicator frameworks that allow monitoring progress toward the Green Deal’s objectives; and iii) demonstrating the opportunities and constraints of local unfolding of agroecology from individual to policy levels.
