This Horizon Europe funding call aims to enhance the attractiveness of the agricultural sector, addressing challenges such as climate change, resource scarcity, changing consumer behavior, and workforce decline. It focuses on improving the socio-economic factors influencing farming's appeal, including income, labor conditions, mental health, and social inclusion. Proposals should develop innovative governance models, create solutions for better farmer well-being, and enhance societal perception of farming through interdisciplinary research, particularly involving social sciences and humanities. Expected results include improved communication on agriculture, better dissemination of knowledge to decision-makers, and the development of new practices that make the farming sector more attractive to farmers, businesses, and society at large.
