H2020-FRAMEWORK
Farmer clusters for Realising Agrobiodiversity Management across Ecosystems
The FRAMEwork project, funded by the EU, is designed to enrich and innovate existing farmer clusters by linking them with local and national interest groups, helping to establish new multi-stakeholder farmer clusters in different farming systems in Europe, building on existing collaborations.
Farmer clusters are designed to start life at a bottom-up farmer level, under the guidance of a lead farmer. Although the work is often supplemented by existing agri-environment schemes, several clusters have been set up with no funding. The EU-funded FRAMEwork project is designed to enrich and innovate existing farmer clusters by liaising with local and national stakeholder groups, helping to set up new, multi-actor farmer clusters in different cropping systems in Europe, based on existing collaborations. The project aims to be innovative in the way in which it will implement EU ethics, data protection and gender regulations.
