What UNISECO is all about?
UNISECO is an EC funded 3-year Horizon 2020 research and innovation action aiming at strengthening the sustainability of EU farming systems through co-constructing improved and practice validated strategies and incentives for the promotion of improved agro-ecological approaches.
A lot of work has been done in the project since our 3rd newsletter in February 2020. Dealing with various tasks during the Covid-19 pandemic was a challenge but the UNISECO project team managed to generate valuable results and to co-construct transition strategies with the Multi-Actor Platforms in the 15 case studies which were discussed in the recent 6th project meeting.
Furthermore, from the 4th issue of our newsletter you can get to know:
What are the latest developments and current activities in our project?
Current activities include the evaluation of innovative market and policy instruments to promote agro-ecological transitions in the different case study contexts and the preparation of the next international stakeholder workshop with our Multi-Actor Platforms and Project Advisory Group which will be held online on the 4th and 5th of November. In addition, the last case study deliverables are being finalised. Those activities and outcomes will be reported in the next Newsletter No. 5 in December 2020.

We would like to thank the members of the Multi-Actor Platforms for participating in the interviews and workshops (both online and in-person) and for their valuable input to the transdisciplinary research in UNISECO.
