On May 13, 2024, a meeting was held online to explore possible ways of collaboration between the LandNet of the ResAlliance project (https://www.resalliance.eu), and the MEDAE network developed within the NATAE project (Natae – North African Transition to AgroEcology (natae-agroecology.eu). Both projects are funded by the European Union. To a large extent they share a similar vision and concerns (agroecology and landscape resilience in a context of climate change) and they both focus on the Mediterranean area. The participants of the meeting were Dr. Gavriil Xanthopoulos of the Hellenic Agricultural Organization DIMITRA representing the LandNet, Dr. Marion Comptour of the CARI association, on behalf of the NATAE project, and Dario Pollicino of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), which is an associated partner in both projects.

Following a fruitful discussion about the approaches of the two projects and their networks, it was agreed to maintain contact, to make each of the two networks known to the members of the other, to seek opportunities for exchanges of ideas and information, and to explore the possibility of some common future activities.
