On June 16th, 2026, the joint final event of the Horizon Europe projects ENFASYS – ENcouraging Farmers towards sustainable farming SYstems through policy and business Strategies and VISIONARY – Food Provision through Sustainable Farming Systems and Value Chains was held in Brussels. The meeting brought together more than 100 participants, both on site and online, including researchers and policy makers, and provided an opportunity to present and discuss the main findings of the two projects. Both projects focused on identifying policy and market-based tools to support the transition towards more sustainable agricultural and food systems in Europe. The DISTAL research team contributed to several parallel sessions, presenting the results of four years of project activities. These included the analysis of behavioural drivers influencing farmers’ adoption of sustainable production systems, the development of system dynamics models and scenario-based analyses, and the broader effort to translate behavioural and systemic evidence into practical tools to support decision-making for sustainable farming transitions.
