The objective of FASTER is to support the Farm Advisory Systems sustainability in Tunisia by enabling the application of innovative solutions, sharing knowledge and best practices, and by mainstreaming research results and technology to local farmers and policy-makers linked to forestry and agricultural sectors who need to face climate change and related challenges.<\/p>\n

To that end, the project FASTER provides a series of Farm Advisory Services for the targeted groups of interests. It includes the implementation of a Living Lab<\/strong>,<\/a> the organization of a Summer School<\/strong><\/a>, and the establishment of a Knowledge Hub <\/strong><\/a>and an E-learning platform<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Living labs are a tool for promoting open innovation, an approach designed to enhance cooperation between multiple actors sharing a same stake, such as researchers, public administration, companies, end- users, and other stakeholders. Despite the multiple different implementations, Living Labs share certain common elements that are central to the approach: <\/span><\/div>\n

FASTER Project Living lab focuses on <\/span>knowledge transfer on adaptation to climate change strategies<\/b> between researchers in the field of water, soil and forest management, and practitioners engaged in Farm Advisory System in Tunisia. <\/span><\/p>\n

The living FAS-Lab is intended to provide an opportunity to take up the developed research knowledge into professional praxis, creating a dynamic tool for improved FAS implementation. The process would allow researchers and practitioners of different profiles to reflect on the challenges of adaptation and co-produce solutions.<\/span><\/p>\n

Based on its FAS Lab Activities, FASTER is building a Multi-stakeholder platform for improving FAS services. <\/span><\/p>\n

This database includes a <\/span>broad variety of actors<\/b> contributing or potentially interested in contributing to the living lab creation and activities.<\/span><\/p>\n

At the date of December 2019, FASTER project multi-stakeholder platform includes <\/span>370 contacts.<\/b> <\/span><\/p>\n

The multi-stakeholder platform aims to be <\/span>varied<\/b> and <\/span>relevant<\/b>. It integrates researchers, decision makers, PhD holders, students, engineers, advisers, trainers, as well as stakeholders with profiles related to Farm Advisory System in North West Tunisia, including farmers, farmer organizations, engineers and public administration.<\/span><\/p>\n
