C-BASC's research and innovation axes

Three nested axes and a fourth transversal one

Research and innovation in C-BASC relies on a combination of observations, experiments, and models, covering a wide range of organizational and spatial scales and contexts including Europe and the Global South. In particular, our strategy is structured as a nested hierarchy of three organizational levels and one territorial transversal axe. Axis 1 examines the barriers and levers in socio-ecological systems that can facilitate or hinder the ecological and agroecological transitions; axis 2 focuses more specifically on how management of natural and agro-ecosystems and the accompanying transformations of food systems can contribute to or hamper these transitions; and axis 3 explores the capacities and limits of organisms, populations and ecological communities to adapt to rapidly changing pressures. The fourth axis, which integrates across these three levels of organisation, is about the study of sustainability of periurban areas.
