The "Tilling Roots & Seeds" project places a strong emphasis on gender equality as a core value, aiming to create an inclusive environment that promotes equal opportunities for all genders. The Gender & Equality Plan (GEP) outlines specific actions to address systemic inequalities, ensure equitable participation, and foster innovation through diversity. By focusing on equitable remuneration practices, inclusive participation, and targeted measures, the project seeks to support the EU's cultural shift towards a sustainable food system and serve as a model for gender equality within the artistic and scientific communities.
