Community-led nature-driven innovation for greening agrifood systems in Europe and Central Asia
Virtual Event, 03/10/2024
10:00-12:00 CEST
This regional workshop is organized within the framework of the FAO Science and Innovation Forum 2024 to provide a platform for discussing nature-mimicry and frugal approaches, sharing community best practices and lessons learned, and identifying potential barriers and enablers for harnessing nature-based frugal innovations in the region.
Join us as we embark on a journey to discover innovative solutions to regional challenges by drawing inspiration from nature's forms, processes, and ecosystems. By collaborating with smallholders, farmers, women, youth, and rural communities to develop locally tailored solutions and nature-inspired innovations, we can move to more efficient, inclusive, and resilient agrifood systems. Our discussions will emphasize the importance of adopting a frugal mindset to create sustainable and affordable innovations that deliver more value with fewer resources.
