ReForest на събитието "Живи лаборатории за смекчаване на изменението на климата в селското стопанство"

The “Living-Labs for Mitigating Climate Change in Agriculture” event, held on 24–25 April 2025 in Barcelona, marked an important milestone in the journey towards a more sustainable and climate-resilient agri-food system.
As a co-organiser, ReForest played a central role in shaping the event’s dynamic discussions, knowledge exchange, and collaborations.

Living Labs: A Key Driver for Change

Throughout the event, the Living Lab approach was highlighted as a powerful catalyst for developing, testing, and scaling climate solutions. Its true strength lies in enabling the sharing of experiences while producing solutions that are tailored to local contexts. Rather than simply transferring successful practices from one place to another, Living Labs focus on adapting innovations to fit the unique environmental, social, and economic conditions of each region. By doing so, they bridge the gap between science and practice, fostering collaboration between researchers, businesses, policymakers, and communities to turn ideas into real-world impact.

Participants engaged in small, interactive working groups, identifying barriers, analysing facilitators, and co-creating actionable strategies to accelerate the adoption of regenerative practices. Thanks to a strong methodological framework provided by the organising team, participants channelled their collective energy into shared agendas that will continue to drive impact long after the event.

“It’s time for collaboration — not just action”,

stated Ayman Moghnieh, Managing Director of Naked Innovations, in his opening speech — aptly capturing the spirit of the event, which they organised in an excellent way.

This principle guided two full days of rich exchanges and strategic co-creation activities.

ReForest’s active presence was visible across several dimensions of the event:

The Impact Is Only Beginning

While the event officially concluded after two days, its true legacy is just beginning.
New networks were formed, fresh ideas were seeded, and innovative collaborations are already taking root across Europe’s Living Labs.

ReForest remains committed to driving this forward continuing to foster cross-sector collaboration, strengthen Living Labs, and co-create solutions for a climate-resilient agricultural future.

We thank all participants, organisers, and partners for making this a truly transformative event!
