Co-design of Factsheets for Farm Advisory

The Living Lab workshops and meetings aim to co-design adaptation solutions and transfer scientific information so it can be taken up in farmer advice services.

The process aims to a) engage a stakeholder platform including a broad range of professional profiles, b) set up thematic working groups and interactive sessions for knowledge exchange and c) produce a set of factsheets including the information obtained.

TARGET PARTICIPANTS

The Living Lab process builds on the active interaction of researchers, experts, practitioners, professional organisations, NGOs and public administration as to share the knowledge both generated by science and experience.
