What was the challenge/problem addressed?

In the framework of an agricultural advisory project of the Swiss center for mountain regions the obstacles and potentials in digitalisation of the value chain in mountain agriculture have been revealed (https://www.sab.ch/leitfaden-zur-digitalisierung-in-der-wertschoepfungskette-berglandwirtschaft/). One of the study area was Valposchiavo. It became clear that the agricultural stakeholders need practical support in the introduction of new digital tools and peering.

Hoe heb je het probleem opgelost??

The director of Polo Poschiavo (https://polo-poschiavo.ch/)– Cassiano Luminati – took up the endeavour and together with the regional, agricultural advisory service is building up a vocational training/continued learning on implementation of digital tools in small scale farming and bringing together differenct actors of the value chain.

Wat is innovatief in jouw praktijkgeval?

It is a new service that up to now does not exist elsewhere in a peripheric region in Switzerland and is therefore particularly close – geographically and contentwise to the needs of the local farmers.

Wat zijn de succesfactoren bij het oplossen van het probleem??

Make the access to the training series as simple as possible to the farmers.

What role does the advisor or advisory service play with the practical case?

Polo Poschiavo develops the content of the training together with the regional agricultural advisory service. Besides that, the regional advisor helps in approaching the farmers and is also involved into training itself.
