Strengthening evidence-based policies for the resilience of European agriculture and forestry and related supply chains against crises and systemic risks

Expected Outcome:

Project results are expected to contribute to all of the following expected outcomes:

• societal and political actors have a better understanding of how European agriculture and forestry, as well as agri-food and forest-based supply chains, are exposed to and impacted by a combination of complex systemic risks and crises;
• EU, national, regional and local decision-makers have access to improved analytical capacity and recommendations on policy instruments and strategies for assessing, preventing and managing systemic risks and crises;
• the compounding, cascading and amplifying roles of climate change for different kinds of risk and crises and in constraining options for crisis response are better understood, facilitating their systematic integration into decision-making;
• the compounding, amplifying and/or mitigating role of trade for different kinds of risk and crises involving supply chain effects is better understood.
