A Three-Year effort to strengthen Europe’s landscape resilience
The ResAlliance project has spent three years (2022–2025) building a strong network of more than 2,000 practitioners, scientists and stakeholders from the agriculture and forestry sectors. This community—known as LandNet—shares a common goal: improving landscape resilience in the face of increasing climate-change impacts. In parallel, project partners collaborated to identify and document a wide range of practical resilience solutions. Their work resulted in 120 factsheets that summarize proven approaches and innovative strategies to enhance climate-adapted land management. These factsheets are accessible on the ResAlliance website and through EU-FarmBook, the European reference platform for farmers, foresters and advisors.
A Call for Innovators: promoting resilience practices in the Mediterranean
To complement the factsheets, ResAlliance launched an open Call for Innovators through its website—an initiative designed to collect and promote real-world resilience practices implemented across the Mediterranean region. The call was coordinated by the Hellenic Agricultural Organization DIMITRA, with technical support from ETIFOR, which developed and maintained the submission platform. Practitioners were invited to submit their practices in either video or document format, with the aim of enabling broad dissemination and peer learning. Over the course of the initiative, 27 innovative practices were submitted. As the project neared its conclusion, LandNet members and website visitors were invited to vote for the practices they found most inspiring, impactful, and innovative.
Recognition of the top voted landscape resilience practices
The final ResAlliance project meeting, held on 12–13 November 2025 in Vinkovci, Croatia, and organized together with the European project FOREST4EU, offered the opportunity to honor the top three voted practices. The selected practitioners were invited to present their work, receive certificates and plaquettes, and showcase their innovations to an international audience. The winning text submission was presented by Guilherme Saad (University of Lisbon, Superior Technical Institute), highlighting the Innovation Laboratory (INNOLAB) approach to forest fire risk reduction. In the video category, Joao Alves and Javier Gonzalez (Land Life Company) were recognized for The LAND LIFE Project, while Valerio Prosseda (University of Tuscany) presented The WILDNET System.
Access all submitted practices online
All 27 submitted practices remain available on the ResAlliance website, offering an open resource for farmers, foresters, advisors and researchers interested in climate-resilient land management. They will also continue to be accessible through the EU-FarmBook platform, ensuring that valuable agricultural and forestry knowledge remains available beyond the lifetime of European research projects.
