Towards a safe and just operating
space for EU agriculture

Networking and cooperation with Horizon Europe projects: GenBEcon and RATION

BrightSpace established cooperation in January 2023 with the two Horizon Europe research projects: GenBEcon and RATION.

GenBEcon (GA Nr. 101061015) is dealing with capturing the potential of gene editing for a sustainable bioeconomy, and RATION (GA Nr. 101084163) is focusing on risk assessment innovation for low-risk pesticides.

The common interests of the three projects are to foster

enabling technologies for achieving the Farm to Fork Strategy targets of reducing the application of pesticides by 50 percent,
the development of critical institutional conditions promoting their diffusion and
model simulations of alternative scenarios of the diffusion of suitable technologies.

The joint activities involve regular monthly meetings of project teams to share information on research progress and outputs, and a proposal for a pre-EAAE congress workshop on 29 August 2023 in Rennes, France.
