Abstract: This study introduces the ME4ALL framework, a tool designed to assess Agroecological Living Labs (ALLs) in the context of agroecological transitions. Evaluating three ALLs in Italy, the Netherlands, and the UK, the research highlights stakeholder engagement, funding challenges, and policy impacts. The findings demonstrate that national context plays a greater role in shaping ALL effectiveness than scale.
