DEVELOPMENT OF AN EASY-TO-USE INTERACTIVE PLATFORM TO RENOVATE TRAINING EXPERIENCES AND NETWORKING FOR FARMERS IN THE FIELD OF SUSTAINABLE CROP MANAGEMENT

Project description

Empowering farmers with a platform for sustainable crop management and agroforestry

Farmers and agro-foresters face challenges in adopting advanced technologies that promote sustainability, hindering their widespread adoption. To address this issue, the EU-funded RENOVATE project aims to develop a knowledge-sharing platform. This platform will enable farmers and agro-foresters to access new and existing training tools and educational programmes, fostering the exchange of practical knowledge. The goal is to enhance farmers’ ability to practise sustainable crop management through the adoption of innovative techniques. Using engaging technologies such as serious games and gamified content, the platform aligns with key initiatives like the Green Deal, the Farm to Fork Strategy, the new Common Agricultural Policy, and the UN Sustainable Development Goals for 2030.

Objective

The RENOVATE project will develop an attractive knowledge sharing platform that provides farmers and agro-foresters with unique access to both new and existing training tools and renovated educational programs. This platform is designed to increase the exchange of practical knowledge and enhance farmers' capacities to achieve sustainable crop management through the uptake of innovation.

Built on attractive and motivating technologies, such as serious games and gamified contents, the RENOVATE Platform will provide farmers, agro-foresters and advisors with a centralized access to new and existing training resources, legislative information applicable, best practices, practical and real data (including costs info) about the implementation of innovations in the field of Plant Protection optimisation.

RENOVATE will feed the platform with resources from tools and materials developed by previous EU projects, including 14 EIP Agri Operational Groups. Moreover, RENOVATE will implement 15 different Advanced Knowledge Transfer Actions (AKTAs) around Europe, which will generate knowledge ready for practice to be shared through the platform.

RENOVATE will then be aligned with the Green Deal, the Farm to Fork Strategy and the new CAP, as well as the UN SDGs for 2030. The consortium involves 16 partners from 8 EU countries, that will work together for 48 months, with a total budget of € 2.999.998 requesting an equal amount of EU contribution with a total of 444 Person Months. The RENOVATE platform, as a unique source for practical knowledge sharing and training material, is expected to become a reference for local and national administrations encouraging local farmers and agro-foresters to adopt innovation and new technologies for sustainable crop management.
