Science support
During its lifecycle, our project will develop the necessary advanced understanding and produce sciencific outputs to support adaptation and resilience of natural and managed ecosystems. ECO-READY will follow thoroughly all the required actions in order to be aligned with the Open Science practices as they are also defined in Horizon Europe guidelines.
ECO-Ready science support tools (under preparation)
Contingency planning
In a contingency situation, the ability for swift action is a pre-condition for a successful limitation of the negative consequences a contingency situation is developing. However, “being prepared” for hazards that may occur is a pre-condition for swift action which, in turn, is a result of planning. Agriculture and the food system have to deal constantly with risks. They may create problems in food security, in biodiversity or the economic performance of the food system actors. For mitigating the effects of emerging hazards, contingency planning could identify suitable activities of actors with influence on the food system. This tool provides the basis for developing a contingency plan. It is flexible enough for allowing its use in a diversity of situations and provides links to suitable databases and AI sources for support.

Database on methodologies for dealing with sector problems
This database includes methodologies and related tools that are most relevant for dealing with dedicated problems of the future including e.g. Horizon Scanning, Environmental Scanning, Foresight Methods, global market equilibrium models and market analysis. The database will be managed by the Observatory and is accessible through the project website.

Climate change, biodiversity, and food security nexus: A structured data review
The Structured Data Review (SDR) is the main deliverable of Task 1.1 in Work Package 1 of the ECO-READY project. It has two objectives: first, it identifies climate and biodiversity-induced drivers of food security, specifically how these factors affect various dimensions of food security. Second, it provides an overview of data (datasets, sources, platforms) used for monitoring and reporting these drivers. Methods include a systematic literature review and data search. The report lists 20 climate and 18 biodiversity drivers of food security, analyzes their impacts on the four pillars of food security, and provides data from literature, projects, EUROSTAT, and public platforms. It serves as a reference for industry and policymakers to identify threats and opportunities and to develop appropriate strategies and regulations.
