Discover valuable insights derived from the collaborative endeavours of the ALL-Ready Pilot Network, which engaged 20 members across 13 partner countries. The lessons learnt from this pilot initiative offer essential recommendations for overcoming challenges in establishing the forthcoming European Network of Agroecology Living Labs and Research Infrastructures.

With a focus on co-creative and participatory methodologies, the pilot network effectively navigated diverse challenges, such as geographical disparities, user scalability, and the integration of various activities. These lessons, spanning the advantages of proficient tool testing, strengthened cross-collaboration, and the empowerment of agroecology initiatives, provide valuable guidance for the future network's development, replication, and upscaling.

ALL-Ready is a Coordination and Support Action (CSA) funded by the European Commission (EC) with the aim of preparing a framework for a future European network of Living Labs (LL) and Research Infrastructures (IR) that will enable the transition towards agroecology throughout Europe. Based on the premise that agroecology can strengthen the sustainability and resilience of farming systems, the project will contribute to addressing the multiple challenges that they are facing today including climate change, loss of biodiversity, dwindling resources, degradation of soil and water quality.
