Fact-finding and analysis represent the main activity of the first phase of the project (months 0-8). This preparatory work has brought to the achievement of a common, basic knowledge (1st milestone of the project). The main outcome is a “state of the art” report that includes an overview of social farming in the participating countries and exemplar stories of diverse “social/care” farms. |
|
The second phase (months 8-16) saw the development of ‘platforms’ at regional/national scale (one per participating country) that have brought together researchers, policy-makers and rural players, based on participatory in-group working. The production of country-/regional SWOT analysis and innovation strategies represent the achievement of a second project milestone |
|
During the third phase (months 16-24) a European platform is being developed. This work represents a scaling-up of the previous activities (country based) at European level – following-up objectives and methodologies already experimented. The main expected outcome is Strategy for system’s innovation designed together by researchers and diverse representatives of rural players and public institutions, at European scale
