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.
