Description
This European Commission Horizon Europe call supports research and innovation actions aimed at strengthening the resilience of European farmers and agri-food supply chain operators. The focus is on improving their ability to anticipate, prevent, and manage diverse risks and crises, including those exacerbated by climate change and biodiversity loss. Projects should investigate farmers’ decision-making, assess risk management strategies, and develop integrated, inclusive solutions tailored to various farming systems. Activities must also address fair risk sharing, test strategies through participatory methods, and promote capacity building and risk literacy among stakeholders.
Expected outcomes include improved risk and crisis management capacity, evidence-based policy recommendations, and accessible knowledge and solutions for practitioners. Proposals must adopt a multi-actor approach, ensuring broad stakeholder involvement and collaboration with relevant EU initiatives.
