European Partnerships
Co-funded European Partnerships connect European farmers, researchers, businesses and policy makers to develop practical solutions for agriculture, forestry, and rural areas. They fund projects, create networks, and promote innovation to help farms and rural businesses become more sustainable, productive, and resilient.
- European Partnership on Agroecology joins forces of the EU and 74 partners across Europe to fund research and innovation for more sustainable and resilient agri-food systems.
- European Partnership ‘Agriculture of Data’ uses digital and earth observation tools to help farmers, improve resilience and EU policy.
- European Partnership on Animal Health & Welfare (EUPAHW) works to improve animal welfare and control diseases in livestock and aquaculture.
New partnerships are proposed on 'Forests and Forestry for a Sustainable Future' and 'Raw Materials for the Green and Digital Transition’.
Insights from an EUPAHW project, developing biosecurity measures for livestock farming
“In the project ‘Biosecurity measures to prevent and control aid on farm and during transport taking into account effects on AW’, funded under the EUPAHW, we are identifying effective biosecurity measures to improve production & housing systems, whilst considering the effects on animal welfare - all very important for sustainable livestock production” - says Søren Saxmose NIELSEN, main coordinator of the project.
