An agroecological transition in North Africa
Climate change is severely affecting the region of North Africa. Water scarcity and rising temperatures are serious issues in the world’s most food import-dependent regions worldwide. One solution is the adoption of science-based, locally tailored and co-designed agroecology strategies based on knowledge built through Living Labs. In this context, the EU-funded NATAE project will set up a Mediterranean agroecological network for knowledge exchange and advocacy at regional level. The project will support a multi-actor approach to co-creation and co-learning. It will facilitate the transfer of generated knowledge to education and policies. Bringing together 23 partners (academic institutes and NGOs) from Europe and North Africa regions, the project will develop a guidebook and unique assessment systems to study the resilience of farming systems.
