23 April 2025, 10:00 to 11:30 (CET).

We know from previous webinars that there is a sizable body of research demonstrating how organic and agroecological farming increase biodiversity and help farmers find resilient solutions to ever-more frequent periods of drought and deluge.

 

We also know that on the ground, there is still inertia and resistance to change. This webinar explores why.

 

We take a deep dive into two current studies, looking at:

  1. The mechanics and practicalities needed to make conversion to organic farming appealing and achievable
  2. Farmers’ motivations and intentions when looking at how to make changes to their farm systems.

 

This webinar is of interest to farmers, researchers and policy makers.
