Work Package 4 - Implementation and sustainability of the network

The overall aim of WP4 is to provide an implementation plan that ensures the added value and sustainability of the European network of agroecological LLs and RIs capturing and promoting long-term processes of agroecological transitions. The implementation plan will include a long-term funding strategy utilizing complementarities and synergies of funding opportunities at EU, national and regional level to ensure the ambitions of the network in the long term. WP4 will build upon the vision for AgroEcoLLNet developed in WP1, the mapping and analysis of existing LLs and RIs in WP2 and the input from the pilot network in WP3. On the basis of participatory methods, WP4 will assess key factors of the long term sustainability of the Network, identify the added value and synergies of the Network at European level, and co-construct recommendations that inform the development of the implementation plan for AgroEcoLLNet. The Implementation Plan will provide a structured framework guiding the relevant actors in the implementation, long-term management and monitoring and evaluation of its added value and required evolution, and include policy recommendations for regional, national and EU-level policy makers.
