Abstract
In this chapter Lodovica Gullino and Laura Vivani explain how the European Union (EU) promotes and finances the reinforcement of the food security system in Europe with the protection of the biodiversity and ecosystems in the frameworks of agriculture, horticulture, and forestry. The EMPHASIS (Effective Management of Pests and Harmful Alien Species—Integrated Solutions) project played an important role in defining a new approach to agricultural risks’ effective management while respecting the environment and human health. EMPHASIS has been a pilot participatory research project where stakeholder engagement went beyond the simple dissemination of results at the end of the project. End users were involved in setting up research objectives, gathering and processing data, and interpreting results, in line with the multi-actor approach promoted by the European Commission of the EU.
Cooperation is the ability to work together toward a common vision. The ability to direct individual accomplishments toward organizational objectives. It is the fuel that allows common people to attain uncommon results.
