Agro-Ecological Innovation provides a platform on which the members and affilliates of its partner organisations can meet online to discuss their projects and exchange ideas, and to work together in support of new agro-ecological approaches.
The following institutions are part of the network:
- ARC202: a multi-stakeholder platform of over 150 civil society networks and organisations in 22 EU Member States all pushing for a real reform of the CAP – the EU’s Common Agricultural Policy.
- IFOAM EU Group: The IFOAM EU Group is the EU working level of IFOAM – the International Federation of Organic Agriculture Movements.
- TP Organics: TP Organics is the technology platform (TP) for organic food and farming research
Through this extensive network, the goal is to tap into existing knowledge and experience, to promote agro-ecological innovation and influence the pending reforms to the European Union's Common Agricultural Policy and Horizon 2020, the EU framework programme for research and innovation.
