ENcouraging FArmers towards sustainable farming SYstems through policy and business Strategies

The overall aim of ENFASYS is to promote a just and robust transition to sustainable, productive, climate-neutral, biodiversity-friendly and resilient farming systems (SFS) by improving policies and business strategies that encourage farmers to change their production systems.

What is needed to contribute to this is

1. an improved understanding of lock-ins and levers in farming and food systems;
2. an improved understanding of behavioural factors of farmers, consumers and other food chain actors;
3. more and better evidence on the potential effectiveness of intervention based on this improved understanding;
4. a more structured approach to design and implementation to link knowledge with action.

ENFASYS will address these issues between September 2022 and August 2026.
