Descrizione del progetto
Migliorare le politiche e le strategie commerciali per realizzare sistemi agricoli sostenibili
Gli agricoltori del giorno d’oggi trovano difficile superare i diversi vincoli esistenti nel campo dei sistemi alimentari, che non consentono loro di effettuare una transizione verso la sostenibilità agricola. Per affrontare queste sfide è necessario rafforzare le politiche, nonché i modelli commerciali e le innovazioni sociali. Il progetto ENFASYS, finanziato dall’UE, si propone di comprendere meglio i vincoli e le leve nei sistemi agricoli e alimentari, oltre ai fattori generati dal comportamento degli agricoltori, dei consumatori e di altre parti coinvolte nella catena del valore. Il progetto verificherà la possibile efficacia di interventi politici e commerciali nei paesi europei e analizzerà 160 casi di intervento attualmente in corso. ENFASYS progetterà mix di politiche, strategie commerciali e innovazioni sociali in grado di incoraggiare gli agricoltori a trasformare i propri sistemi di produzione.
Obiettivo
ENFASYS aims to stimulate a just and robust transition to sustainable, productive, climate-neutral, biodiversity friendly and resilient farming systems (SFS) by improved policies and business strategies that encourage farmers to change their production systems. In current food systems, farmers are challenged by multiple lock-ins that prevent them to move to SFS. To overcome this and thus to support the Green Deal and in particular the Farm to Fork ambitions, strengthening public strategies (policies) should go hand in hand with strengthening private strategies (business models, social innovations). To reach this aim, ENFASYS goals are (1) an improved understanding of lock-ins and levers in farming and food systems;(2) an improved understanding of behavioural factors of farmers, consumers and other food chain actors;(3) more and better evidence on the potential effectiveness of interventions;(4) a more structured approach to link knowledge to action. To do so, ENFASYS will frame current transitions to SFS and screen 160 cases for current interventions. Through systems analysis, behavioural and experimental studies, ENFASYS will uncover lock-ins from a systemic and behavioural point of view. The potential of policy and business interventions will be tested in 12-15 countries across Europe through experimental studies (discrete choice experiments, framed field experiments and randomized trials) and system dynamic modelling. To link systemic and behavioural insights to action and to understand the impact of the interventions on systems level, results of these studies will be combined into system and behavioural based theories of change. Together with stakeholders and enriched by the research results, ENFASYS will co-design policy mixes, business strategies and social innovations and stimulate their implementation. Strategic communication, dissemination, exploitation and tailored capacity building towards all our target groups, will maximize ENFASYS’ impact.
