The conference designed by the PrAEctiCe Horizon Europe project, funded by the European Commission, lead discussions and present evidence on how circular water energy-nutrient systems developed and tested through three living labs in East Africa can serve as effective agroecological solutions for sustainable water use, climate resilience, and improve the productivity of smallholder farmers in low-income countries.
