Territorial Agroecological Living Labs

TAELabs will design and monitor, through transdisciplinary research, a comprehensive, globally oriented, and at the same time, place-based framework of Territorial Agroecological Living Labs-TAELabs. The project will propose innovations on the three transition domains proposed by López-García and González de Molina (2021): (1) ecological and biophysical domain; (2) socio-economic domain; and (3) governance and policy domain. The project will be developed in 5 Living Labs (LLs) at landscape/territorial levels, covering fringe territories in metropolitan (n=3) and rural settings (n=2): Madrid (SP), Rome (IT), Sörmland (SE), Brandenburg (DE), and Bornholm (DK), in Northern and Southern European territories with different climate and socio-historical and economic contexts. While a specific geographic approach to TAELabs will be developed in WP1, the Figure shows the main features of each of the LLs' territories.
