Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

In this open letter, we examine the recent surge of international attention and implementation for living labs for innovation in agriculture, particularly those ultimately aiming to address complex agri-environmental issues or foster system-level transformations with agroecology. We recognize the first International Forum on Agroecosystem Living Labs as a key milestone in the conceptual development of the approach and in the exchange of implementation experiences from around the world. As the community prepares for the upcoming 2nd International Forum in October 2025, we take this opportunity to propose some key questions for discussion in the hopes that we may build on what has been accomplished so far, recognize remaining challenges, and chart a path forward together, as an international community.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
