Our sister project BEATLES project EU is hosting an interesting webinar on behavioural #research & shifting to #sustainable #food systems:

📢 Exciting news! AgEnRes will be participating in the upcoming EU multi-actor working group's first workshop of the BEATLES project EU hosted by AEIDL (European Association for Innovation in Local Development). 🌍🌱 🌱 We are looking forward to exploring EU policy perspectives for agriculture, farm practices classification for CAP interventions, and smart farm practices and innovation. Plus, gain valuable insights from experts on emerging trends and policy considerations. #AgEnRes #Workshop #EU #SustainableAgriculture #PolicyInsights

💡 In the era of climate change, promoting sustainable agriculture is crucial. The BEATLES project EU aims to drive behavioural changes that support climate-smart agricultural practices. 🌍 This effort is closely aligned with #PLANET4B research project, which seeks to understand and influence decision-making that impacts #biodiversity. #BetterDecisions #BehaviourChange

There is increasing recognition that behavioural shifts at individual, systemic, and policy levels are needed to foster the adoption of climate smart farming practices and technologies in the EU. Furthermore, EU policies need to consider the complex decision-making processes across the entire food value chain. Co-creation with relevant stakeholders across the food value chain can play a key role in addressing these gaps. Co-creation is a core component of the HORIZON Europe BEATLES project (Behavioural Change Towards Climate-Smart Food Systems). As part of the co-creation process, we have identified and engaged multiple stakeholder representatives across 5 food value chains in the EU - wheat farming in Lithuania, organic dairy farming in Germany, pig farming in Denmark, organic apple farming in Spain, onion and potato farming in the Netherlands.

🌱 Soil health is key to the EU's sustainability goals! The EU Green Deal and new policies highlight its role in climate neutrality, combating desertification, and biodiversity preservation. 🌿 In July 2023, the EU proposed the Soil Monitoring and Resilience Directive, aiming for healthy soils by 2050, in line with the EU Mission: A Soil Deal for Europe. 🌾 Our partner, AEIDL (European Association for Innovation in Local Development), represented BEATLES at the 2023 European Mission Soil Week to stress that soils are the foundation of our agri-food systems. 🚜 ✨ The EUSO Soil Health Dashboard, led by the Joint Research Centre, provides key soil health insights via 19 indicators, aiding the new Directive's implementation. 📊 🌐 Check out more details here: https://lnkd.in/d7epH48W #HorizonEurope #behaviouralchange #ClimateSmartAgriculture #smartfarming #agriculture #bioeconomy #Circularconomy #CircularBioeconomy Smart Farming Technology Group - Agricultural University of Athens Agricultural University of Athens Københavns Universitet - University of Copenhagen National & Kapodistrian University of Athens National Technical University of Athens Wageningen University & Research AEIDL (European Association for Innovation in Local Development) SEI — Stockholm Environment Institute KPAD LTD- - Naturland e.V.

🧐 This 3rd practice abstract explores the potential of a robust decision support platform to empower farmers in adopting sustainable agricultural practices and preserving soil health. 📱 The platform integrates real-time data from various soil sensors, including humidity, temperature, weather conditions, and more, to aid farmers in making informed decisions. ✅ By addressing the challenges of modern agriculture through data-driven insights, the platform envisages improved crop resilience, resource efficiency, and environmental conservation. This innovation holds the promise of benefiting farmers, ecosystems, and the broader agricultural community. 👉 More info: https://lnkd.in/e_47HQ2c #Tribiome #Soilmicrobiome #Platform #Digital #Resilience #Sustainability    Wagralim | ITENE | Universidad de Burgos | University of Pretoria | ASAJA (Asociación Agraria-Jóvenes Agricultores) | ValGenetics | SIMAVI Software Imagination & Vision | Rete Semi Rurali ETS | Natural Resources Institute Finland / Luonnonvarakeskus (Luke) | Particula Group | Grupo Fertiberia   @Agence exécutive européenne pour la recherche (REA) | @L’UE_ENV | @EUAgri | @HorizonEU   Guido Giudetti | Magdalena Gajdzińska

🌾The innovative model of regenerative agriculture is like an "life-long job" for all mankind to cope with climate change. However, the FAIRR report shows that only 36% of the 59 enterprises mentioning regenerative agriculture have set quantitative targets. In the green table that feeds human agricultural civilization, will regenerative agriculture be a “set meal” for sustainable agricultural development or a greenwashing “fast food” with expensive price tags? 🍽️What are the new theories and paradigms of regenerative agriculture at home and abroad in the fields of soil health, no-tillage and precision irrigation? 🍚What are the practical breakthroughs in regenerative agriculture by food companies that can lead to more cutting-edge practices in regenerative agriculture in China? 📌If you would like to share and discuss this topic at the conference, register to visit at <https://lnkd.in/gxAPp9YZ> . 🟦The 3rd Impact Climate Innovation Conference 🗓23-25 October 2024  📍YATTER International Convention Center, Haikou, China #regenerative agriculture #ICIC2024 #China
