ACT4CAP27 is a European research project aiming to enhance analytical capabilities, tools, and collaborative technical infrastructure for the quantitative assessment of the impacts of upcoming agri-food policies on the economic, social (including health), environmental, and climate sustainability of food systems. The project is directed towards providing continuous support for evidence-based EU agri-food policies post-2027, aligning with the objectives of the European Green Deal.
Project duration: 1 March 2024 – 28 February 2029
Funded by the European Union. Horizon Europe Grant Agreement No. 101134874.

How can the agricultural sector achieve global food security and meet climate goals?
Join us live for the launch of the 20th edition of the OECD-FAO #AgOutlook, with remarks from OECD Secretary-General Mathias Cormann and FAO Director-General, Qu Dongyu.
The report analyses trends in the demographic and economic drivers of agricultural commodity supply and demand, projects the shifts in production and consumption locations, and assesses the resulting changes in international agricultural trade patterns.

Call for applications for funding in 2025
The Co-operative Research Programme (CRP)'s call for applications for funding international conferences (such as workshops, congresses and symposia) and research fellowships grants is OPEN.
Applications relevant to the work of the OECD Committee for Agriculture and other bodies are particularly welcome:
• Sustainable and resilient productivity growth and food security and nutrition
• Climate change mitigation, reducing emissions from agriculture and food systems, carbonsequestration in agriculture, forestry and land use
• Halting and reversing forest loss and land degradation
• Reducing the negative environmental impacts of livestock production and practices harmful toanimal health and welfare, investigating the positive contribution livestock can make to soil quality and management, biodiversity and livelihoods
• Biodiversity, enhancing ecosystem services
• Improving soil health and water and air quality, including through agro-ecological and other innovative, context specific approaches
• Innovations in the transfer and development of agricultural knowledge, including Indigenous and traditional knowledge
• Fisheries and aquaculture productivity, sustainability and resilience
The deadline to apply is Tuesday 10 September 2024
Exciting Update from the Hague from the ACT4CAP27 Kick-off Meeting! 🚀
It was two days packed with productive discussions and valuable insights as we revisited the objectives and expectations of ACT4CAP27 to ensure its relevance in our current research and political landscape.
Here's a glimpse of what we achieved during our time together:
✔️ Reaffirmed the strong interconnections between partners and activities.
✔️ Identified specific topics to be addressed in the first year.
✔️ Established a clear understanding of deliverables.
✔️ Defined strategies at both project and Work Package levels, with a keen focus on:
- Conceptual framework
- Database and model portal
- Modular modeling toolbox
- Capacity building for young researchers and those from non-participating partners
- Stakeholder processes and dissemination
Our special thanks go to:
🌟 Antonio Scarafino (EC REA Officer) for his invaluable guidance on project management and monitoring.
🌟 DG Agri officers: Sophie Helaine and Fanny Le Gloux for presenting the challenges and expectations from EC's policy perspective.
🌟 Thomas Fellmann (EC JRC) for sharing expectations on modeling.
Last but certainly not least, a heartfelt thank you to the entire WECR ACT4CAP27 Coordination Team, with special appreciation to our Project Management Officer, Marjan Vooijs, for warmly welcoming us and hosting this impactful kick-off meeting.
Exciting times lie ahead as we embark on this journey together, dedicated to making a difference in the field. Stay tuned for more updates!

#ACT4CAP27#EUAgriFood#Sustainability#HorizonEU#EuropeanGreenDeal 🌱🌍
✨ WELCOME! The ACT4CAP27 Horizon EU project has officially commenced its 5-year journey on March 1, 2024.
🚀 What is ACT4CAP27 About?
ACT4CAP27 is dedicated to advancing capacity and analytical tools to support Common Agricultural Policies post-2027. Our mission is to enhance analytical capabilities and collaborative technical infrastructure within the policy modeling community, aligning with the objectives of the European Green Deal.
💡 Why Does it Matter?
In the dynamic landscape of the European Green Deal, existing quantitative modeling tools face significant challenges in comprehensively addressing all components of the policy.
🌍 Where's the Impact Happening?
Focused on European agriculture, ACT4CAP27 adopts a comprehensive food system approach. By assessing economic, social, environmental, and climate sustainability, we aim to enhance regulatory pathways' effectiveness and efficiency, especially in the face of ongoing shocks and disruptions.
👥 Who's in the Team?
Our consortium comprises 13 dedicated partners, pooling expertise from various fields to support evidence-based EU agri-food policies post-2027 in line with the European Green Deal objectives. Stay tuned for upcoming posts highlighting each member of our consortium.
⏳ Project Duration
Launched on March 1, 2024, ACT4CAP27 is a 5-year endeavor dedicated to fostering more sustainable and resilient agri-food systems.
🔍 Stay Tuned for Updates!
