Bringing Organisations and Network Development to higher levels in the farming sector in Europe

Descripción del proyecto

Sembrar las semillas de la acción colectiva en el sector agrario europeo

En muchos países europeos, los agricultores y administradores de tierras tienen dificultades para organizarse y participar en acciones colectivas. Esto limita su capacidad para promover la sostenibilidad medioambiental y económica del sector agrícola. El equipo del proyecto BOND, financiado con fondos europeos, pretende resolver este problema creando lazos y puentes, así como vinculando el capital entre individuos y grupos de agricultores y administradores de tierras. Su objetivo es fomentar la participación a través de su método VER, APRENDER y CONTAR, e implicando a jóvenes, mujeres y hombres en las sesiones de formación y los actos. Con el desarrollo de procesos prácticos, y con métodos y herramientas para orientar a los usuarios finales, el equipo del proyecto BOND creará organizaciones fuertes, dinámicas y eficaces que tengan voz y un lugar en la elaboración de las políticas.

Objetivo

BOND acknowledges the fundamental role farmers and land managers play in the environmental and economic sustainability of the farming sector in Europe, as well as the importance of the way they organise, on Europe’s foods and landscapes. BOND contributes to unleash, strengthen, and organise, the great potential for collective action and networking of individuals, groups and entities of farmers and land managers, focusing on countries with lower organisation levels, with a view to creating strong, dynamic and effective organizations that have a voice and a place in policy design. More specifically, BOND investigates and addresses the constraints and disincentives, and reaches a higher level of participation of farmers as follows: (i) Draw up solutions and build bonding capital within groups, ensuring cohesiveness and trust among people; (ii) Enable organizations to come closer, building bridging capital to form larger networks, help overcome attitudes and constraints that impede collective action; (iii) Build linking capital, developing ties with entities with different interests and powers, including government, donors, academia, private sector, to reach a stronger position in decision-making, and (iv) Engage multi actors and policy makers throughout these processes. BOND’s approach relies on 3 pillars: SEE-learning from success (mobilisation, study tours), LEARN-overcoming constraints (self-analysis, capacity building), TELL-affirming a position in the policy landscape (gaming interface, best practice in regulation, lab experiment), and on involving the youth, women and men (designing a road map for the future), with training sessions and meeting events at every step of the project (interregional forum, national workshops, regional policy roundtables, youth forum). BOND’s legacy will be a menu a la carte of practical processes, user-friendly, with methods and tools to guide end-users when they decide to engage and benefit from the synergies of working with others.
