VALOR was presented at AGRI4POL Annual General Meeting in Freiburg, Germany
The VALOr project was presented at the first Annual General Meeting (AGM) of Horizon Europe, AGRI4POL project, held in Freiburg, Germany, from 10-12 March 2026. The meeting brought together around 60 partners and stakeholders for three days of discussions, exchange and planning.
Hosted and organised by a shared partner, Albert Ludwig University of Freiburg, the meeting marked the end of AGRI4POL's first year. It provided an opportunity for partners to reflect on progress and discuss the project's direction for the year ahead.
AGRI4POL's goal is to promote the benefits of transforming agriculture from being a pressure on pollinators to becoming a positive force for restoring and managing pollinators and pollination services that support agriculture and provide food and other benefits to ecosystems and people. AGRI4POL takes an interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary approach to achieve this transition towards a sustainable, pollinator-friendly farming. To learn more about the project, visit the website.
As part of the programme, a dedicated session focused on building synergies between different European initiatives working on pollination and biodiversity. During this session, several projects presented their work, including VALOR. The project was presented by the coordinator, Tom Breeze, who is also involved in AGRI4POL, where he leads Work Package 5 "Social & economic opportunities and obstacles towards pollinator friendly food systems". The presentation introduced VALOR's work, updatrs and highlighted collaboration opportunities.
