The new TP Organics Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda (SRIA), “Vision for Future Organic and Agroecological Research: Triple Lead for Sustainable Food Systems”, has been officially launched at the Organic Innovation Days in Brussels.
Developed in collaboration with the OrganicTargets4EU project, the SRIA outlines research priorities to support sustainable, resilient, and competitive food and farming systems in Europe. The agenda draws on two years of participatory work involving farmers, researchers, and stakeholders from across eight European countries. It identifies three key research areas—environment and climate, communities and livelihoods, and responsible innovation—described as “triple wins for sustainability”. The document also provides policy recommendations, urging policymakers to prioritise funding for organic and agroecological research within the European Competitiveness Fund and Horizon Europe, promote more inclusive governance, simplify funding procedures, and strengthen multi-actor collaboration to ensure research delivers real impact.
