From April 28 to May 4, the Sociedade Portuguesa de Inovação (SPI) participated in the Consortium Meeting and General Assembly within the scope of the North Africa Transition to Agroecology and Sustainable Food Systems (NATAE) project, held in Tunis, Tunisia. The event brought together 20 partners from various sectors to address pressing challenges in North Africa’s food systems. SPI was represented and gave its contribution through consultants Tiago Marques and Maria Antónia Silva.
The primary aim of NATAE is to engage the high-level of Research and Education institutions, international organizations, and specialized NGOs to showcase that agro-ecological approaches, tailored to the region’s diverse farming systems, can further provide effective solutions to food system challenges in North Africa.
SPI took the opportunity to provide an overview of the Communication & Dissemination activities, including support at the platform reporting, concerning the Work Package 5 and discuss procedures to be put in place with the partners.
The recognition of agroecology as a relevant solution to agricultural, rural, and food security challenges is growing both locally and internationally.
SPI is noble to be part of NATAE and looks forward to collaborate with partners to keep promoting for a sustainable agriculture and food security in North Africa.
