Project scope and impact
By integrating non-contentious natural products, decision support systems, and technical solutions with preventive management practices, SCALE-it aims to reduce dependency on contentious inputs, contributing to a fair, healthy, and climate-smart food system.
Through Living Labs and participatory methods, the project will:
- Demonstrate and validate application and efficacy of non-contentious alternatives in real organic farm environments
- Provide data for environmental, economic, and social impact assessments
- Explore market acceptance and user behaviour of farmers and consumers
- Support companies with roadmaps for upscaling, registration, and protection of intellectual property
- Facilitate policy co-creation and regulatory dialogue
