Under the overarching theme “Farming and Agri-Food Systems Dynamics: Facing Crises and Trade-Offs in Transition Pathways”, the conference will revisit current progress and debates in co-designing and advancing sustainable farming systems, with particular attention to how they confront crises, inform decisions across scales, and navigate the trade-offs and synergies shaping transition pathways and their impacts.

In the first step, we received 400 abstract contributions for IFSA 2026, reflecting the strong engagement of the international community.

IFSA 2026 will take place in Montpellier, France, and is organised by the Mediterranean Agronomic Institute of Montpellier (CIHEAM-Montpellier) from 29 June to 3 July 2026.

The conference is organised around four main themes:

• Theme 1: Transformative changes
• Theme 2: Landscape and communities
• Theme 3: Capacity development to support systemic change
• Theme 4: Food Production, Consumption, Food Landscape & WEFE Nexus

Bringing together an international and interdisciplinary community, the event will foster critical reflection and dialogue across research and practice.

Full contributions (short papers) will be submitted by co-authors by December 31st, 2025 (deadline for short papers).

The conference will be preceded by a PhD course.

Stay tuned for next news.

“Culture is a universal bond.”

Within the framework of the Master’s course “Sustainable Farming and Pollinator Habitat Restoration for Biodiversity and Food Security” (SPHERE) organized by University of Freiburg (ALU-FR) and CIHEAM-IAMM, and in alignment with the objectives of the Horizon Europe projects RESTPOLL and BUTTERFLY, a study trip and joint workshop in Freiburg im Breisgau (Germany) and surrounding region was organized for students from Master MIDAS (CIHEAM-IAMM) and students from ALU-FR from the 24^th to the 27^th March 2026. This activity contributes to strengthening the link between teaching, research, and Living Lab activities while reinforcing the cross-project learning dynamics between RESTPOLL and BUTTERFLY projects on sharing thematical issues of pollinator-supporting practices and biodiversity-friendly farming systems.

The students were accompanied and guided by experts from RESTPOLL and BUTTERFLY projects team (Henning Nottebrock and Amibeth Thompson from ALU-FR; Georgios Kleftodimos and Amélie Bourceret from CIHEAM-IAMM). During the study trip and workshop, students had the opportunity to: visit Wild Bee Garden (NABU) & bee show with Felix Fornoff (Assistant professor at University of Freiburg) for observations and learning about pollinator-friendly farming practices; develop and present the posters and policy briefs in front of members from the Directorate-General for Agriculture and Rural Development. This was also a great networking event for researchers and students from both institutions and projects.
