Your gateway to transforming European agriculture through participatory agroecology. Discover tools, insights, and innovations that bridge global knowledge with local realities.
Building upon FAO's TAPE methodology, we establish the global foundation for agroecological assessment. Our comprehensive framework provides standardised tools and training materials for practitioners worldwide.
We Adapt Here
Local European Realities
Tailoring global frameworks to European contexts, laws, and farming traditions. We recognise that agroecology must reflect regional diversity, local knowledge systems, and established agricultural practices.
We Innovate Here
Territorial Living Labs
Cyprus Living Lab exemplifies participatory innovation in action. Through collaborative experimentation, farmers, researchers, and communities co-create sustainable solutions together.
We Scale Up Here
Landscapes & Policy
Transforming individual innovations into landscape-level change through policy integration. Lazio's Regional Agricultural Plan demonstrates how agroecology shapes governance frameworks.
Foundation: Global Standards Meet Local Needs
The FAO TAPE tool serves as our cornerstone—a globally recognised framework for assessing agroecological transitions. However, true transformation requires adaptation to European agricultural landscapes, regulatory frameworks, and cultural contexts.
Our approach bridges international best practices with regional expertise, ensuring that global knowledge translates into practical, locally-relevant solutions for European farmers and policymakers.
Standardised assessment protocols
Culturally-sensitive adaptations
Evidence-based implementation
Innovation Through Collaboration
Community Engagement
Local stakeholders identify challenges and opportunities within their agricultural systems, ensuring solutions address real-world needs.
Participatory Research
Collaborative experimentation tests innovative approaches whilst building local capacity and knowledge networks.
Knowledge Exchange
Successful innovations are documented, shared, and adapted across territories, creating a dynamic learning ecosystem.
Territorial Scaling
Proven solutions inform landscape-level planning and policy development, multiplying impact across regions.
Scaling Impact: From Farm to Landscape
Policy Integration
Lazio's Regional Agricultural Plan exemplifies how agroecological principles shape governance frameworks. By embedding participatory approaches into policy development, we ensure sustainable practices are supported at institutional levels.
Landscape Transformation
Individual farm innovations aggregate into territorial change. Through coordinated action across agricultural landscapes, we create resilient food systems that benefit farmers, communities, and environments alike.
