The AGROECOLOGY partnership, funded by Horizon Europe, brings together the European Commission and 72 partners from 26 member states, associated countries, and third countries to support an agricultural sector capable of addressing the goals and challenges of climate change, biodiversity loss, food security, and environmental protection, while also ensuring a profitable and attractive activity for farmers.

This partnership aims to structure and support a network of living labs and research infrastructures that accelerate the transition towards agroecology across Europe. In this context, on December 2, 2024, the second call of this partnership opened, which will focus on the implementation of agroecology from various perspectives.

Key aspects of the call:

  • Total budget for Spain: 2,350,000 €
