This study is collecting specific initiatives and best practices in the organic sector that are currently applying transdisciplinary approaches that can be qualified as Living Labs or Lighthouses. Moreover, a Belgium Organic Living Lab was visited during the meeting.
On the second day, a Policy debate was held, involving the European Commission, The Standing Committee of Agricultural Research, and the two CSAs selected for preparing the partnership, AE4EU, and ALL-Ready. In the Panel discussion Miguel de Porras, from our partner organisation FiBL Europe, pointed out the cascade effect of investing in organic research and innovation. Resulting innovations are currently being adopted in many other kinds of farming production systems.
