Abstract
European policies on climate change (CC), food security (FS), and biodiversity (BD)
represent the EU’s commitment to a sustainable agri-food system, highlighting the interdependence progress in areas such as promoting sustainable agriculture and biodiversity, while pointing out unresolved issues like the challenges faced by smallholder farmers. The study emphasizes the need
for real-time monitoring tools and tailored solutions to address the complexities of the agri-food
system. It also encourages the integration of emerging technologies, such as IoT and AI, to enhance
the sustainability of agricultural practices. Ultimately, the findings call for a landscape-specific
approach to maximize biodiversity gains, mitigate climate impacts, and ensure food security within
the broader context of the EU’s ecological and socio-economic challenges
