Developing agroecology living labs and lighthouses for climate action under the FNSSA partnership
Funds an AU-EU research consortium to set up agroecology test-and-demonstration sites (living labs and lighthouses) across Africa.
Developing agroecology living labs and lighthouses for climate action under the FNSSA partnership is a Horizon Europe grant from the European Commission, worth EUR 6 million, that funds an AU-EU research consortium to set up agroecology test-and-demonstration sites (living labs and lighthouses) across Africa. Consortia have to apply Horizon Europe's own 'multi-actor approach', meaning farmers, civ…
This call wants proposals that set up 'living labs' where researchers, farmers and advisors co-create agroecological farming approaches in different African climate zones, plus 'lighthouse' sites that demonstrate proven solutions to other farmers. The work must tie into the joint African Union-EU research partnership on food, nutrition and climate.
