Project: ECO-READY RIA HORIZON-CL6-CLIMATE-01

The ECO-READY project aims in achieving Ecological Resilient Dynamism for the European food system through consumer-driven policies, socioecological challenges, biodiversity, data-driven policy, and sustainable futures. The project will develop a real-time surveillance system, an Observatory offered as an e-platform and as a mobile application. This will function as the necessary singular source of information, provide real-time assessments for the food system, and update forecasts frequently and consistently. The Observatory will be available to society, policymakers, the scientific community, and the agri-food industry, and integrated with a network of 10 Living Labs, supported through the third-party funding process, covering all bioclimatic regions in Europe, forming the ECO-READY project knowledge infrastructure. ECO-READY will produce knowledge-based resilience strategies and develop tools that will be embedded on the Observatory. The underlining principle behind the ECO-READY approach is resilient dynamism or tackling immediate problems and long-term challenges at the same time.
