This webinar explores how to create supportive frameworks for agroecology locally, nationally and across the EU.
Influencing policy that will help create the right environment for change is a challenge. How do you get to the right people in your local area, or in government, or even within the European Commission? It’s not only a matter of who, but of how, and even when?
These challenges can’t be a barrier to change – policy makers need expert-led science-backed solutions so they can generate policy that works in practice.
In this webinar, we sketch the policy development cycle at various intervention levels, elaborating on key moments where science-society interventions can be effective. We also discuss enabling and disabling factors that should be considered.
