Ποια ήταν η πρόκληση/ πρόβλημα που αντιμετωπίστηκε?

Λόγω της κλιματικής αλλαγής, there is need to usher in a new era of land use which will assist in curbing up the issue of global warming and food insecurity in most part of the World. Ως εκ τούτου, it is necessary to create a new framework for action that opens up new opportunities so that we can better adapt to the eco-social challenges of the future and enable intact societies in healthy, climate-friendly living spaces, ensuring that farmers produce in a healthy way in a healthy environment while still having good cash inflows to their farms and on the other hand consumers get healthy food at the end. In order to this, AERA Land GmbH aims to establish a permanent experimental network along the agricultural value chain across Europe at large. This will enable farmers, advisors and producers to come together in order to achieve a common goal of adapting to climate change and living a healthy life.

Διδάγματα

Alot has not been learnt due to the fact that the project has just started.The following are some of the lessons so far:

  • It is important to maintain both the technical depth of individual issues and the ability to integrate them into larger contexts.
  • There is need for proper coordination, time management and self-discipline since the project covers many countries with different time zones.
  • Teamwork is also important in order for us to keep moving forward and to ensure that all project actors are doing what is required of them and that no one deviates from the main objective of the project.

Τι ρόλο παίζει ο σύμβουλος ή η συμβουλευτική υπηρεσία στην πρακτική περίπτωση?

The main role of advisors is to carry out research and provide solutions to the emerging issues during the projects. They are expected to share their knowledge and experiences that can benefit the project.

Advisors will also work hand in hand in hand with the project zones coordinator to esure that all meetings are well organised and conducted successfully.
