Ongoing Projects
European Agri-Biodiversity Network
In January 2025, we started working on an EU Horizon project FarmBioNet - a Farmer-focused Biodiversity and Agricultural Knowledge Network. Avalon is a member of a 19-partner consortium from 14 countries. The project integrates research findings and practices related to farmland biodiversity, including climate change mitigation and adaptation and promotes them across the EU.
Breathing Space - the Role of Farming
Breathing space (Ademruimte in Dutch) is a new initiative in the Netherlands in which the leisure economy, health, and agriculture domains work together to create more ‘breathing space’: for better prospects for rural entrepreneurs, new opportunities for the health and leisure of people living in cities, and for nature. It is a new and future-proof narrative for the countryside.
Avalon plays a pivotal role in this project by identifying and connecting potential alliances and additional funding sources in the farming sector and advising on how to approach these and develop and implement the concept further.
Designing a Short Supply Chain for Organic Food in the Greidhoeke Region
This is the first big follow-up project on Avalon’s Bioregion the Greidhoeke programme. The project aims to strengthen the food transition and short-supply chain for organic food in the Greidhoeke region.
