WINN-ORGANIC is a Horizon Europe Innovation Action comprising 19 partners from 9 countries. The project addresses systemic imbalances in the organic food value chain and is working to improve access to and procurement of organic food.
This project addresses two intertwined challenges: many small producers lack the digital skills, tools, or confidence to sell online, and many low-income households face digital barriers to accessing affordable, nutritious, locally sourced food.
The project aims to fill the scientific knowledge gap in peat-free plant production in ornamental horticulture.
OneSTOP is pioneering a joined-up approach to minimise the introduction, establishment, spread and impact of terrestrial invasive non native species.
Plant Alert is a long-term citizen science project designed to help prevent future invasions of ornamental plants.
Marginalised women-led smallholder farmers who rely on livestock for nutrition, income, and as a safety net, often have limited capacity to mitigate climate change impacts on livestock productivity.
To critically evaluate the conditions in which place-based public food procurement networks, utilising open-source socio-technical innovations can scale to deliver the transformative changes needed for socially just transitions in food systems.

Iron Age ‘bog bodies’ have fascinated scholars and the public alike for over two centuries due to their exceptional preservation. Research has typically focused on forensic examination of the bodies themselves but, despite much revolutionary scientific research, debate surrounding why individuals were killed and deposited in bogs has stagnated. Consensus generally remains divided between two key themes originally suggested in the early 19th and 20th centuries: capital punishment, and ritual sacrifice.
The production of field vegetables and salad crops is highly dependent on transplanted seedlings that are grown in media often containing peat.
This research programme comprises a growing number of research projects, doctoral studies, academic publications and outreach activities. Subtle Agroecologies “is not a farming system in itself, but superimposes a non-material dimension upon existing, materially-based agroecological farming systems. It is grounded in the lived experiences of humans working on, and with, the land, and with nature over thousand of years to the present.” (Wright, 2021)
Using native Welsh Mountain Ponies in conservation grazing, alongside strategic firebreak creation, offers a powerful naturebased solution to reduce wildfire risk, restore biodiversity, and support rural livelihoods.
This research project explores how the hill-bred Welsh Mountain Pony, a local and hardy breed that has graced our landscape for centuries, have undergone a dramatic decline such that there is only around 400 left now.
This study seeks to quantify the effectiveness of these practices by measuring changes in vegetation, soil quality and wildlife and livestock use, associated with livestock corral sites.
Building a European network on agroecology to accelerate the transition towards sustainable agriculture and food systems.
SCALE-it is working to increase the availability, accessibility and adoption of cost-effective alternatives to contentious inputs in organic farming.
Food systems contribute one-third of global greenhouse gas emissions, prompting urgent calls for a radical transformation of diets to include a greater proportion of plant proteins.
AGROECOLOGY PARTNERSHIP is an ambitious, large scale European research and innovation initiative between the European Commission and 26 member states, with a total of 111 university and multi-actor partners from 31 countries.
DRAGONS (Democratising Response-Ability for Biodiversity Futures) is a Horizon Europe research and innovation project that seeks to transform how societies engage with biodiversity loss. Bringing together partners from across Europe and Latin America, the project explores why awareness of environmental problems does not always lead to action and develops innovative approaches that help individuals, communities, institutions and policymakers move from awareness to meaningful change.
This project supports Sowing Your Seeds by working with Garden Organic to co-create a bespoke process for capturing, evaluating and evidencing outcomes. The evaluation process is embedded within the wide-ranging activities of Sowing Your Seeds.
