Project Description

The objective of RAINFOREST is to contribute to enabling, upscaling and accelerating transformative change in Europe towards reducing biodiversity impacts of major food and biomass value chains by closing knowledge gaps, demonstrating the effective co-generation and use of knowledge in stakeholder processes to formulate transformative policy options and related innovative governance arrangements. Specifically aiming to:

  1. co-develop and investigate just and viable pathways for transformative change and policies for their implementation with stakeholders;
  2. enhance assessment models to allow for the quantification of biodiversity impacts at different spatial and organizational levels (e.g. company, national and global scales);
  3. highlight and exemplify the application of the investigated pathways for transformative change in case studies;
  4. investigate and co-generate governance and financial reforms at all scales;
  5. explain, visualize and communicate our results and tools to a diverse audience.
