ClimateSmartAdvisors: Connecting and mobilizing the EU agricultural advisory community to support the transition to Climate Smart Farming

Descripción del proyecto

Asesoramiento de expertos sobre cambio climático y agricultura

El cambio climático amenaza la seguridad alimentaria mundial. Si bien su efecto sobre la agricultura es patente, esta es también a su vez responsable del cambio climático. Por ello, se requieren medidas de adaptación. En este contexto, el proyecto ClimateSmartAdvisors, financiado con fondos europeos, reunirá a expertos de veintisiete países a fin de encontrar la manera de adoptar prácticas agrícolas climáticamente inteligentes (CS, por sus siglas en inglés). Los asesores expertos desarrollarán innovaciones y prácticas agrícolas CS. El equipo del proyecto organizará actividades centradas en fortalecer la capacidad de los asesores para ofrecer asesoramiento CS y fomentar su papel en la transición hacia la agricultura CS. En concreto, una red paneuropea de 260 comunidades de práctica (CdP) de asesoramiento respaldará la formación de 1 500 asesores que conformarán el núcleo del intercambio de conocimientos CS. Las CdP intercambiarán conocimientos a nivel internacional.

Objetivo

ClimateSmartAdvisors is a pan-European multi-actor network covering 27 countries. Its aim is to boost the EU agricultural advisory community, leading to an acceleration of the adoption of climate smart (CS) farming practices by the wider farming community within and across EU AKISs. To reach this objective, ClimateSmartAdvisors focuses on the crucial role of advisors in the development and dissemination of CS innovations and practices. The project will organize activities focusing on strengthening the advisors’ capacity in providing CS advice and boosting the advisors’ role in the transition towards CS farming through their involvement in innovation projects, CS-AKIS, and EU projects and initiatives. A number of complementary activities are developed to strengthen the CS advisory capacity of the EU advisory community: 1) an EU-wide network of 260 advisory Communities of Practice (CoP) to support the development of 1500 advisors will form the core of CS knowledge exchange; 2) 140 advisors will receive expert training on selected topics, relevant for their context and for facilitating a CoP; 3) CoPs will internationally exchange knowledge on 12 thematic areas; 4) a knowledge repository will provide advisors with CS tools, practices and approaches developed in the ClimateFarmDemo project and further expanded in ClimateSmartAdvisors, 5) monitoring, evaluation and learning activities will capitalize lessons learned in and outside the project. Activities to boost the advisors role in the CS transition include: 1) connecting to local and EU (multi-actor innovation) projects, initiatives, AKIS actors, and policy makers to clarify and address joint needs, challenges and lessons learned, 2) the set-up of Co-Design Innovation Experiments to learn on how to strengthen the advisors’ role in innovation processes. Finally, to accelerate the wide spread of results, an ambitious dissemination, exploitation and communication strategy will be deployed at EU and national levels.
