We had an intensive first day of our project meeting. Having reviewed updates on ongoing tasks related to the case studies and territorial level assessments, we had a case study workshop in 3 break-out groups key issues and results of agro-ecological transitions were presented and discussed. In the afternoon we reviewed and prepared for the stakeholder workshop.
On the 4 and 5th November we had two half days of online stakeholder workshop focussed on innovative market & policy incentives, benefits & potential impacts of agroecology transitions & innovations at a wider scale, consumer behaviour, policy requirements to achieve certain scenarios, role of agroecology in the post-covid GreenRecovery
