AGROECOLOGY, the European Alliance 'Accelerating the Transition of Agricultural Systems: Laboratories of Life and Research Infrastructures in Agroecology', is a major European research and innovation project between the European Commission and 26 Member States, Associated Countries, and Third Countries. AGROECOLOGY will support an agricultural sector capable of meeting the objectives and challenges of climate change, biodiversity loss, food security and sovereignty, and the environment, while ensuring a profitable and attractive activity for farmers. A significant shift is needed to make the agricultural sector more sustainable, resilient, and responsive to social and political demands. Agroecology is based on natural and biological interactions, using cutting-edge science, technology, and innovation grounded in farmers' knowledge. The Agroecology Conversations will be the first steps in strengthening agricultural knowledge and innovation systems (AKIS) for the agroecological transition, facilitating links between Living Labs and research infrastructure stakeholders across Europe. These online agroecology conversations will take place monthly throughout the collaboration and will enable the mobilization and networking of agroecological actors in Europe and beyond.
