Centre for Sustainable Agriculture Transition

Farmers deserve better

The current agricultural system is flawed. Farmers are responsible for food, the landscape and the environment, but they operate in skewed chains with unsustainable margins and erratic policies. While pressure is increasing, appreciation is lacking.

The Centre for Sustainable Agricultural Transition (CDLT) believes that the agricultural transition will only succeed if farmers benefit from it. Ecologically, economically and socially. Sustainability without a right to exist is unsustainable.

That is why we are building an agricultural system that does work. And that starts with cooperation. Between farmers and researchers, between policy and practice. The CDLT is the intersection where science and application converge. Where theoretical ideas are translated into feasible, usable solutions.

We are working on a fair food system in which all parties work together. For agriculture that has a future. For farmers, the soil and society as a whole.
