Driving agroecological change through transdisciplinary research [Webinar Recording]
How can transdisciplinary research drive real change in agri-food systems?
This session explores how knowledge integration across disciplines, communities and sectors can spark real, tangible change in our food and farming systems.
We share insights from the Agroecology-TRANSECT project, which has been working closely with farmers, food networks and experts to put new ideas into practice.
Find out what we have learned about creating actionable knowledge – not just general theory, but insights that can support the shift toward more sustainable and resilient agroecological practices.
Our speakers:
Stephen Leitheiser, Postdoctoral researcher, Wageningen University
Walter Rossing, Agroecologist, Wageningen University
Henrik Hauggaard-Nielsen, Professor, Roskilde University
With Q&A from Bertrand Dumont, Agroecology-TRANSECT project coordinator, and our Bulgarian Innovation Hub facilitator Vyara Stefanova.
This webinar will explore:
How we can use transdisciplinary approaches to transform our food and farming systems.
What we mean by 'actionable knowledge' and how researchers and communities can create it together.
What the impacts, opportunities and challenges are of this collaborative work.
This webinar is of interest to:
Researchers, individuals and initiatives engaged in transdisciplinary projects and research
Project designers, managers and funders
Research and innovation policy makers and advisors
Individuals interested in transdisciplinary approaches to agroecology.
