The objectives of the project meeting included reviewing the status quo and progress of the project, preparing forthcoming activities in the case studies, the territorial level assessments, the tools development and reviewing the multi-actor engagement, dissemination and exploitation.
On the first day of our project meeting the project team had intensive discussions in preparation for the stakeholder workshop:
On the 13th and 14th May the stakeholder workshop focussed on a) policy measures and market incentives of agro-ecological transitions in the case studies, b) scenarios for sustainable food systems and territorial impact assessments, c) story maps of agro-ecological transitions, and d) discussing emerging lessons from the multi-actor approach for future research with the members of the UNISECO Multi-Actor Platforms and Project Advisory Group.
