Today, agricultural systems are facing multiple challenges, including climate change, loss of biodiversity, dwindling resources, degradation of soil and water quality. Europe can lead the way in transforming agricultural systems rethinking how we produce food, reducing waste and losses, and taking an agroecological approach that safeguards biodiversity and ecosystems services.

Agroecology can strengthen the sustainability and resilience of farming systems and thus contribute to addressing these challenges promoting a profound change of reasoning:

• Local: adapted to the local environmental, social and economic context.
• Evolutive: the trajectory has to be regularly evaluated (adaptative management).
• In the making: development of practice exchange and active networking (collective experience).

ALL-Ready, a Coordination and support action (CSA), prepares and pilots a European network of Living Labs (LL) and Research infrastructures (RIs) to be called “AgroEcoLLNet” that will enable the transition towards agroecology throughout Europe

In the FACCE-JPI Project Wheel, more detailed information on ALL-Ready is to be found in the project with the same name.
