We are pleased to invite you to the PATH2DEA event, "Promoting Agroecology Supported by Digital Tools,” taking place on May 15, from 09:00 to 16:30, at 60 rue Ravenstein, 1000 Brussels. You can register to attend via this link.

This event will focus on shaping actionable recommendations to support the development of agroecological systems through digital innovation. We will explore key findings from the PATH2DEA project, addressing challenges, concerns, and limiting factors—while also identifying practical solutions and effective incentives.

The day will begin with a high-level policy roundtable featuring representatives from the European Commission (DG AGRI and DG CONNECT), alongside key stakeholders including Copa Cogeca, La Via Campesina, and IFOAM. Together, we will examine critical questions around digitalisation in agriculture.

In the afternoon, we will host an interactive co-creation workshop, bringing together farmers, advisors, technology providers, agroecology experts, and other stakeholders to collaboratively develop strategies and recommendations.
