Progetto SURE-FARM

“Towards sustainable and resilient eu farming systems.”

 

ABSTRACT
Using resilience thinking, SURE-Farm develops a comprehensive resilience enabling framework, develops and applies resilience assessment tools and co-creates implementation roadmaps.

The project objectives are to:

  • measure the determinants of resilience;
  • improve farmers’ risk-related decisions and management;
  • assess farm demographic changes and their links to labour markets;
  • evaluate the current policy framework and develop resilience enhancing policy options;
  • make integrated long-term projections of farming system resilience;
  • identify pathways to implement a resilience enhancing environment.

These objectives are achieved by:

  • developing scenarios of stressors,
  • analysing farmers’ risk perceptions and behaviours,
  • developing improved risk management tools tailored to specific challenges in the range of EU farming systems,
  • creating a farm demography assessment tool informed by agent-based modelling that measures dimensions and dynamics of farm structures,
  • creating a novel policy resilience assessment tool to assess strengths and weaknesses of existing CAP and other policies and their national transpositions,
  • building an integrated impact assessment model to make projections towards sustainable future delivery of private and public goods by farming systems across the EU.

In co-creation with stakeholders, outcomes of these assessments are synthesized to support an enabling environment and to co-design implementation roadmaps.
SURE-Farm thereby provides a thorough analysis of the complex challenges to Europe’s agricultural sector and an assessment of relevant policies, building on long-term projections and integrated modelling.
By designing novel risk-management tools for farmers, measures to facilitate entry to the sector and validated roadmaps it supports the sector’s resilience.
