The purpose of the Research Alliance is to help develop a sustainable European agri-food system free of chemical pesticides.

To achieve this, the Partners will work together and with other relevant actors to develop a transdisciplinary research and innovation agenda that is aligned with the "European Green Deal" priorities to deliver an environment-friendly, sustainable, fair, just and competitive agri-food sector across the whole value chain.

At the forefront of agricultural, technological, natural, socio-economic and regulatory sciences, we will establish and promote the prioritization of research needs and knowledge exchange, from basic to applied research. This research and innovation agenda will serve as a basis to facilitate discussions within the European Union and global agricultural community to establish high impact, tangible research and innovation projects on this topic.

Partners will also foster collaborations within their respective countries and at EU level to develop plans and proposals for future research programmes and for policy support, so that they will improve the sustainability and competitiveness of the sector, especially in regards to integrated management systems. Partners will thus raise awareness of the importance of the issue and the need for a strong research and innovation paradigm shift supported by dedicated funding.
