Push-pull agroforestry-fodder and insect-protein production in women-led climate-smart livestock systems in Botswana and South Africa

Marginalised women-led smallholder farmers who rely on livestock for nutrition, income, and as a safety net, often have limited capacity to mitigate climate change impacts on livestock productivity. 


WINN-ORGANIC

WINN-ORGANIC is a Horizon Europe Innovation Action comprising 19 partners from 9 countries. The project addresses systemic imbalances in the organic food value chain and is working to improve access to and procurement of organic food.


Identification and quantification of trace organic contaminants discharged from waste water treatment plants

The main purpose of this project is to generate pump priming data for novel applications of high resolution mass spectrometry methods for identification and quantification of organic pollutants discharged from waste water treatment plants.


Evaluation of 'Unlocking Nature: Greening our prison spaces

Unlocking Nature targeted two areas, an improvement in the built prison environment and the introduction of land-based interventions. Both activities have been acknowledged as influencing the physical and mental health and wellbeing of incarcerated men and women.


Understanding motivations, barriers and enablers for participation in community food activities

The aim of this project is to further our understanding of the motivations, barriers and enablers of diverse communities’ participation in community food activities.


TERRA Project: Advancing Health-Based Solutions for Agroecological Wheat Production

The objective of the TERRA Project is to develop agronomical trials to test the effects of DHDs as an agroecological method to support wheat plants subjected to hydric stress.


SCALE-it: upSCALing Efficient alternatives for contentious InpuTs in organic farming

SCALE-it is working to increase the availability, accessibility and adoption of cost-effective alternatives to contentious inputs in organic farming.


Exploring underutilised high-protein crops for small-scale growers and gardeners

Food systems contribute one-third of global greenhouse gas emissions, prompting urgent calls for a radical transformation of diets to include a greater proportion of plant proteins.


Heritage crops for a resilient future

This project supports Sowing Your Seeds by working with Garden Organic to co-create a bespoke process for capturing, evaluating and evidencing outcomes. The evaluation process is embedded within the wide-ranging activities of Sowing Your Seeds.

Democratising Agricultural Research in Europe (DARE)

Democratising Agricultural Research in Europe, or D.A.R.E., is a project that brought together food producers, researchers and activists from Europe to share knowledge on participatory and transdisciplinary approaches to research in agriculture. The project focused specifically on agroecological initiatives in Europe, and explored how research can help to realise the potential of these approaches to enable sustainable and just food systems.


Urbanising in Place. Building the Food-Water-Energy Nexus from Below (UiP)

Exploring the physical and metabolic context, scenarios for economic valorisation and political processes that can enable alternative metabolic capabilities, and specific practices and configurations that food growing communities could develop to regain control over resources.


Beyond Ecosystem Services: Brokering Agrobiodiversity Management Enterprises in Europe and Internationally (EcoBroker)

This Fellowship aims to explore innovative business models and learning approaches that will increase sustainable agro-biodiversity management and reconnect food chain players and civil society with agro-biodiversity values.
