UNderstanding and Improving the Sustainability of agro-ECOlogical farming systems in the EU
- Ressourcen und gesellschaftliche Dynamik
Abstract
The ambition and overarching objective of UNISECO is to address the key dilemma and to strengthen the sustainability of EU farming systems, through co-constructing improved and practicevalidated strategies and incentives for the promotion of improved agro-ecological approaches. We will enhance the understanding of socio-economic and policy drivers and barriers for further development and implementation of agro-ecological approaches in EU farming systems (referred to as agro-ecological farming systems (AEFS) reflecting the low input and high labour and knowledge intensity of these systems) to identify and facilitate more effective and efficient development strategies for European agriculture across the diversity of its settings.
