This #EarthDay, we celebrate our shared responsibility to protect the planet - and recognize that the path to a healthier Earth begins with how we grow our food. We're working across Europe to support the transition to more sustainable farming systems 🌱💧

Why aren’t more farmers switching to sustainable practices? 💡 Economic dependencies 💡 Regulatory burdens 💡 Cultural norms 💡 Technological gaps 💡 Weak market demand also identified—strategies to unlock transitions through better advice, cooperation, and policy design.

🌿 What’s stopping farmers from adopting sustainable practices? With 10 case studies in 9 countries, the project explores: 🔹 Farmer behaviour 🔹 Consumer motivations 🔹 Market dynamics 🔹 System-level barriers 🔹 Policy design and co-creation

✔️ Farmer readiness depends more on intervention design than type  ✔️ Behavioural factors alone don’t explain change—context matters  ✔️ 4 consumer segments identified (from disengaged to highly sustainable)  ✔️ Citizens play a bigger role than we assume—especially in advocacy!

Can we feed the world AND protect the planet? 🌍 Experts say yes—by transforming how we farm, distribute and consume food 👇 Learn more 👉 shorturl.at/ZmOlV CCDR Alentejo, I.P. FEAST Agora Agrar ENFASYS BEATLES project EU Regions4 Sociedade Portuguesa de Inovação @bc3research #ClimateChange

📜 There’s no shortage of good ideas—but what makes policies actually work? In ENFASYS HEU, we study how to co-design policies that truly support the shift to sustainable farming systems. #ENFASYS #PolicyDesign #CAP #FoodSystems #SciencePolicy #HorizonEU

🧠 At ENFASYS, we're not just collecting data—we’re building Theories of Change. 🍀 Systems thinking  🍀 Behavioural insights  🍀 Case-specific stakeholder perspectives 🎯 Actionable pathways to support sustainable transitions tailored to local contexts and challenges.

1️⃣ Voting for pro-sustainability parties  2️⃣ Signing petitions  3️⃣ Joining local initiatives  4️⃣ Donating to aligned causes  5️⃣ Contacting public officials But: Trust in institutions and perceived influence matter.  To unlock citizen power, we must connect action to outcomes.

📈 Frontrunners: Greece, France, Germany, Italy  🟡 High capacity but low willingness: Belgium  🔻 Gaps in both: Slovenia, Serbia Tailored strategies are essential—there’s no one-size-fits-all solution. #ENFASYS #EUAgriPolicy #CaseStudyInsights #TransformationBarriers

We distinguish between: ✔️ Policy objectives (what we aim for)  ✔️Instruments (how we act)  ✔️Calibration (the details that make or break success) Coherence, consistency, and congruence matter. 🍀 A well-calibrated policy mix is the foundation of real impact. #ENFASYS
