Participatory workshop on scenarios, december, 11th, 2025
Within the framework of NATAE living lab activities, the participatory workshop on scanarios was carried out on 11th december 2025 at URAP of ElKrib. A total of 35 participants were present including farmers, researchers and professionals. This activity has been organized by INAT and INGC, in coordination with WP2 and WP6 teams, as it is connected to the integrated modeling chain, which enables certain scenarios to be explored in greater detail using quantitative simulations.
This workshop was devided into 2 sessions. The first session was an opportunity to discuss future scenarios of two main issues : water and soil fertility, throught the building of causal maps and to assess expected changes through the adoption of agroecological practices (AEPs) at farm and living lab levels. The second session was dedicated to investigate, classify, and weight the factors influencing policy success to support the transition towards agroecology. Several topics were assessed mainly : water management, land legal status, training and capacity builiding in the field of sustainable agriculture, crops rotation and subsidies to support agroecological farming system.
The exchange of thoughts and ideas among stakeholders was very fruiful and brought to light a clear framework of the central issues, as well as a clear overview of the opportunities and barriers to fostering the implementation of agroecological practices.
