About the SEAL project
The SEAL project (with Project Investigator Teis Hansen, funding by Novo Nordisk) aims at supporting a transition towards a sustainable European agri-food and land-use system. The first task of the project consists in mapping policy targets relevant to agri-food, land-use and freshwater across 13 EU countries. Once identified, these targets need to be contextualized and understood across different national agri-food systems. Indeed, we argue that the level of ambition of these targets is not absolute but embedded in context, reflecting national capabilities and constraints. Looking specifically at water-related targets, we analyse how are these formulated in Spain, France, the Netherlands, Denmark and Romania. We introduce an indicator-based methodology to assess “contextual ambitiousness”, defined as the distance between policy targets and existing national baseline conditions. In this seminar, we introduce our first results and methodology.
How to participate
The seminar is open to all and will take place online via Zoom
