GRASS Ceiling

“草地天花板”将创造一个环境，使妇女能够推动社会生态转型，即开发创新以应对社会生态挑战，并加强农村地区的复原力。这对于实现联合国关于性别平等的目标、实现欧盟性别平等战略、实现“绿色协议”、“从农场到餐桌”战略、农村地区长期愿景和欧洲社会权利支柱的目标至关重要。GRASS CEILING是一个多方参与的项目，将在农业、农村经济和农村社区（即智慧农业技能、生态旅游、牧场主导农业、有机奶酪、能源中性村委会、社区花园、老年人护理合作社）中增加妇女主导的社会生态创新。在欧洲，农业和农村地区的社会生态创新是一个发展中领域，GRASS Ceiling将共同创造工具，确保妇女能够充分参与。我们的联盟包括最终用户（女性创新者）、案例研究成员国的利益相关者和研究人员，以及能够影响欧盟政策的欧洲机构和利益相关者，如欧盟妇女创业平台（WEP）、Copa-Cogeca（欧盟农民和农业合作社代表）、欧洲地方发展信息协会（AEIDL）和欧洲环境局（EEB）。GRASS Ceiling汇集了具有多年研究和实践项目经验的领先学术合作伙伴，这些合作伙伴寻求在欧洲各种情况下为农业和农村地区的妇女赋权和提供支持。该项目涉及农场和农村地区的女性创新者，她们将参加我们在9个案例研究国家的9个社会生态女性创新者生活实验室。我们的生活实验室是实用的、女性领导的、互动的创新倡议，将增加知识，并提供工具，以帮助成员国和欧盟层面的女性创新者、政策和支持组织。

GRASS Ceiling will develop a context where women can drive socio-ecological transitions, that is, develop innovations in response to socio-ecological challenges and strengthen the resilience of rural areas. This is essential to deliver the UN’s goals on gender parity, realise the EU gender equality strategy, and achieve the goals of the Green Deal, the Farm to Fork strategy, the Long-Term Vision for Rural Areas and the European Pillar of Social Rights. GRASS CEILING is a multi-actor project that will increase women-led socio-ecological innovations in farming, the rural economy and in rural communities (i.e., smart-agri skills, eco-tourism, pasture led agriculture, organic cheese, energy neutral village halls, community gardens, elderly care cooperatives). Socio-ecological innovation in farming and rural areas is a developing area in Europe, and GRASS Ceiling will co-create tools to ensure women can fully participate. Our consortia include end-users (women innovators), stakeholders and researchers in case study Member States, as well as European bodies and stakeholders who can influence EU policy such as the EU Women’s Entrepreneurship Platform (WEP), Copa-Cogeca (EU representatives of farmers and agri-cooperatives), The European Association for Information on Local Development (AEIDL), and the European Environmental Bureau (EEB). GRASS Ceiling brings together leading academic partners with many years of experience in research and practice projects that seek to empower and support women in agriculture and rural areas throughout a variety of contexts in Europe. The project involves women-innovators on farms and in rural areas who will participate in our 9 socio-ecological women innovator living labs in 9 case study countries. Our Living Labs are practical, women-led, interactive innovation initiatives that will increase knowledge and provide tools to assist women innovators and policy and support organisations at Member State and EU level.
