Summary
Successful proposals will set out a credible pathway to contributing to innovative governance and sound decision making in policy for the transition of European agriculture required by the European Green Deal. In order to enable the transition to sustainable agriculture, it is crucial to establish the necessary policy framework and related monitoring and evaluation activities. This implies the development of appropriate tools for measurement and monitoring of socio-economic and biophysical data in order to model and project scenarios and derive the necessary targets, trajectories and relevant policy measures and the development of relevant analysis.
Detailed Call Description
Projects should:
- operationalise the concept of safe and just operating space, including planetary
boundaries, in the case of the EU agriculture and at different spatial scales; - boost the analytical and modelling capacity of the EU and Associated Countries in the
farming sector with a view to informing impact assessments and formulating policy
recommendations, with a particular focus on conditions and policy measures for the EU
farming sector to respect planetary boundaries, in particular regarding climate change
and biodiversity, and safe and just operating space; - work at various geographical scales, from local, national, EU to global levels, and
simulations and projections should range from short / medium term to long term policy scenarios; - Within a foresight exercise, develop post-2027 science-based targets for European
farming allowing the sector to remain within the planetary boundaries and a safe and just operating space, and the conditions to achieve the targets, and develop a roadmap and the related policy framework to reach those objectives; - work in a multidisciplinary manner and involve a broad community of scientists including climate, land, biodiversity, health, human, economic and environment sciences. etc.
