Agroecology and ecological intensification for a sustainable food future 13th-14th July

A sustainable food future requires coordinated efforts across a number of sectors. These include reducing food waste, changing diets, optimizing the supply chain.

The workshop focuses on aspects of such complex system that are linked to interactions with the environment. Specifically, it deals with how agroecology and ecological intensification can support EU agriculture to meet medium- and long-term goals concerning sustainable food production.

The aim is to make the point on: possibilities and solutions offered by agroecology, which are applicable specifically to the European agricultural context, while carefully considering strengths and weaknesses; how the enhancement of the provision of ecosystem services that are beneficial to agriculture can guarantee optimal levels of production and minimize evironmental impacts while improving agroecosystems resilience.
