Qual foi o desafio/problema abordado?

The use of alternative crops in crop rotation is imperative in times of climate change. The role of hemp as a plant suitable for adaptation to climate change and for the protection of agricultural resources has not yet been fully evaluated in practical. The project will contribute to the dissemination of technological know-how between farmers and experts and will provide new knowledge and data on the usefulness of hemp for soil improvement, water protection, carbon sequestration and climate change mitigation. Incorporating hemp into crop rotation can mean greater resilience and security of the farm in times of climate change and will also contribute to conservation of natural resources.

 

Como você resolveu o problema?

We are solving the practical issues with a collaboration of researchers, conselheiros, agricultores

and hemp coop. We are conducting filed trials to get the results the farmers need to fill-in

the gap in the hemp production knowledge. Results are every year disseminated among

partners and accordingly new trials are designed upon them for upgrade. The existing

know how is transferred to farmers outside the project partnership through workshops,

lectures, excursions and visiting good practices.

O que há de inovador no seu caso prático?

We are improving technological processes in hemp production and transferring new

práticas, knowhow from abroad to our farmers.

Quais são os fatores de sucesso na resolução do problema?

First of all, the understanding of the problem is important to set the goals and results you

want to achieve. Detailed planning is next. Active, prompt and continuous collaboration

and communication among partners throughout the project. You have to be flexible

because of quick changes and dependence also on natural circumstances which you

cannot control (example: weather, illnesses…). The project has to have an appropriate

budget for all partners and budget and work process have to be monitored by the leading

partner all the time.

Lições aprendidas

Choose your partners carefully, upgrade social skills, have a fair relationship with evaluators,

stimulate partners with good mood, their own responsibilities and money (budget), nature is

unpredictable – take it to the account, more time is usually needed than you plan it, agricultores

need administrative help and monitoring.

Qual o papel do consultor ou serviço de consultoria no caso prático?

In our case advisors are responsible for the trial implementation on the farms in their region

(1 advisory service has one farm). They are in continuous contact with the farmer, they are

preparing the trials together with farmers and research partner, they monitor the trials,

prepare reports and help farmer with administrative burden. They are also disseminating

project activities and results to other farmers, other advisors and general public through

oficinas, articles, radio, TV etc.

Sua abordagem pode ser transferida e / ou adaptada para outros desafios de inovação e regiões?
