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.
