Descrizione del progetto

L’importanza delle aziende agricole basate sul pascolo

Gli allevatori, gli animali e la società nel suo insieme traggono vantaggio dai sistemi di produzione basati sul pascolo. Questa pratica, tuttavia, che aiuta a fornire alimenti di alta qualità e contribuisce a rafforzare altri servizi ecosistemici, si trova in una fase di declino in Europa. Per contrastare questa tendenza, il progetto Grazing4AgroEcology (G4AE), finanziato dall’UE, sta collaborando con pastori e altre parti interessate per trovare soluzioni volte a realizzare sistemi di produzione animale sostenibili e integrati basati sul pascolo. Parte di questo sforzo prevede la condivisione delle conoscenze e l’acquisizione, l’introduzione e l’ottimizzazione delle migliori prassi e delle innovazioni volte a promuovere il pascolo per l’agroecologia. Il lavoro andrà a sostegno degli allevatori accrescendone la comprensione in merito alle loro prestazioni agroecologiche, il tutto attraverso un’autovalutazione integrata e mediante un incoraggiamento verso gli stessi a innovare.

Obiettivo

Grazing-based production systems have the proven potential to produce high quality food, to be beneficial to the competitiveness of farmers and animal welfare, as well as for other ecosystem services and are widely apreciated by the society. However, for many reasons grazing is generally declining in Europe, which is a threat for many ecosystem services. In Grazing4AgroEcology (G4AE), grazing farmers are for the first time at the centre of a thematic network, complementing other thematic networks such as Inno4Grass, EuroDairy, SheepNet, BovINE, HNVLink, etc. in providing solutions for sustainable, integrated grazing-based animal production systems. G4AE has 18 partners including farmers organisations, extension services, education, and research in eight countries (France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, The Netherlands, Portugal, Romania, & Sweden). The Partner Farm Network of G4AE of 120 Partner farms (15 per country) will enable the capture and implementation of best-practices and innovations to promote grazing for agroecology. Our 3-tier multi-actor approach based on co-creation and knowledge sharing will actively involve all relevant actors of the grazing AKIS including farmers, industry, education, researchers, advisors, society, etc. This will improve the uptake of the innovation capital and significantly contribute to the improvement of the transferability of best practices and innovations and will also enable cross linkage of OGs. G4AE will innovate the grazing sector by strengthening the capacity of farmers to understand more objectively their own agroecological performance through an integrated self-assessment. This will trigger farmers to strive for innovation. G4AE will boost digitalization through webinars, digital interactions, videos and media training. G4AE will provide a rich set of practical hands-on knowledge and training material for a vast community of current and future grazing farmers, available in a Knowledge & Information Management System.
