On April 23rd, 2024, the 1st BEATLES webinar and workshop will bring together experts and stakeholders to delve into behavioural research and insights for transitioning to sustainable food systems.
The webinar will start with Marilena Gemtou, the coordinator from the Agricultural University of Athens, who will introduce the BEATLES project. Following this, Søren Marcus Pedersen, a partner of the BEATLES project, will delve into “Locks-in and levers for transition to sustainable food systems.” Simone Cerroni will then present findings on “Farmers’ preferences for subsidy schemes to promote methane emission reduction in the livestock sector,” drawing from insights of the sister project VISIONARY. Concluding the webinar, Irina Popescu, a Food Policy Officer at BEUC, will address consumer attitudes and initiatives like ‘Put Change on the Menu.’
The second part will feature a workshop which will encompass a collaborative session. Participants, including technical experts and stakeholders, will engage in identifying challenges and opportunities in the transformation of the food system. Through interactive online tools, the attendees will provide feedback on the presented research results and collectively explore strategies for advancing practices for climate-smart farming.
