ReForest at IFALL 2025: Living Labs Paving the Way to Resilient Agroecosystems

The ReForest Project is pleased to announce its participation in the upcoming International Forum on Agroecosystem Living Labs (IFALL) 2025.

This high-level event aims to gather agroforestry stakeholders, researchers, and practitioners from across the globe to discuss land-use transitions and promote sustainable practices that support environmental and socio-economic resilience.

The event will feature discussion panels and parallel sessions of scientific papers to establish state-of-the-art practices, share lessons learned from case studies and address challenges facing the international agroecosystem living lab community. The Forum will also feature networking events and field tours aiming to generate dialogue and create an inspiring space for collaboration and action.

The forum will be structured around various thematic areas including:

• fostering transitionstoward sustainable food systems through living labs
• empowering participation by strengthening participatory governance in living labs
• evaluating success through natural and social indicators
• promoting innovation
• inspiring innovative public policies
• enabling research that is participatory, rigorous, and well suited to supporting dynamic innovation processes in real-world settings.

These themes are tightly aligned with ReForest’s mission to co-create solutions that promote agroforestry and foster stakeholder engagement across Europe. We will be excited to share our insights and real-world experiences from our Living Labs, to collaborate with international partners and continue working toward a resilient agroecological future.
