Organic microfarm & living lab in France seeking consortium for Horizon Europe (Cluster 6)

SCEA Abbaye Saint Pierre de Lacour is an organic microfarm and rural innovation site in southern France, combining agroecology, diversified production (orchards, vegetables, medicinal plants), on-site food processing, and training activities.

We are looking to join Horizon Europe Cluster 6 consortia (2026 calls), especially:

• FARM2FORK (organic farming, sustainable food systems)

• COMMUNITIES (rural innovation and resilience)

• GOVERNANCE (on-farm demonstration, AKIS, knowledge transfer)

• Soil Mission (living labs, soil health)

What we offer:

• A real-life pilot and demonstration site for agroecological practices

• A living lab environment for testing innovations at small-farm scale

• Capacity to host field trials, demonstrations, and workshops

• Strong dissemination potential (training, peer-to-peer learning, public engagement)

• Experience in short supply chains and local food processing

What we are looking for:

• Coordinators and partners (research institutes, universities, NGOs, SMEs)

• Projects integrating practical field implementation and farmer engagement

• Consortia valuing real-world experimentation and impact

We are particularly interested in contributing as a demonstration, validation, and dissemination partner, ensuring that project results are tested and transferred to practice.
