Public Deliverables
- Multidimensional, multiscale evaluation framework
This document aims to Design a participative approach adapted to agroecological LL in North Africa (T4.1) and to set up Living Labs and Replication Labs in NA contexts (WP4). This deliverable is the result of a collective cooperative work of co-creation1 among all project’s partners including high-level research institutions, international organisations, and NGOs with strong experience on AE approaches.
- Memorandum of cooperation template
This document presents what consists a Memorandum of Cooperation in the context of the NATAE project, building on Participative Guarantee Systems (PGS).
- NATAE Living Lab guidelines
This document provides a starting point for the organization of NATAE Living Labs (LL) in North Africa. NATAE Living Labs provide an innovative governance structure for agricultural research and agricultural systems to identify, test, adapt and scale-up combinations of agroecological practices (AEP) in an uncertain and complex real-life context.
- Farm household typologies in NATAE Living Labs
This document presents updated or newly constructed farm household typologies in each of the NATAE Living Labs.
- Analysis of agroecological perspectives in North African intersectoral public policies. A review of trends, strengths and weaknesses
This deliverable is composed of five national reports and a transversal synthesis. The national reports were structured around the following three points: a description of the agricultural and rural context with a focus on recent constraints and developments, an inventory and analysis of agricultural and environmental strategies; and finally, a set of surveys conducted among different stakeholders on the place of agroecology in public policies and in the agricultural world. The synthesis presents the results obtained on the three components in a cross-cutting manner and contextualizes them in relation to the international context and other public policy sectors such as health.
- Agroecology – First Batch Practices Abstracts
Agroecology is an integrated system of techniques and practices that respect the environment and human health and contribute to the sustainability of agricultural production.It guarantees the management and preservation of natural resources, taking into account the social, economic, environmental and biodiversity aspects. These technical practices are intended for farmers. Their aim is to inform and advise them on the actions they can take to encourage biodiversity in their plots and on their farms.
- Milestone 4: on multi-actor governance in Living Labs and the MEDAE network
This Milestone report describes the setting-up of NATAE Living Labs (LLs) and MEDAE (MEDiterranean network for AgroEcology). LL are set up in five out of six LL areas and participation in LL-activities is generally good. The sixth LL is catching up well after a delay due to administrative issues beyond the influence of NATAE consortium members. Activities implemented so far are a territorial diagnosis and a launch event for the LL.
- Methodological guide: diagnosis of a rural territory. Identification of agroecological practices and analysis of their conditions of adoption
The main objective of this methodological guide is to provide a set of concepts and practical tools to master’s students called upon to carry out their end-of-studies project (PFE) within the framework of the NATAE project on the theme of “diagnosis of rural territories in a perspective of an agroecological transition”.
Practice Abstracts
A NATAE practice abstract is a summary that describes an agroecological practice that can be used as a valuable resource by farmers, researchers, policy makers, and other stakeholders interested in adopting or promoting agricultural practices that contribute to sustainability, productivity, and competitiveness in the agricultural sector. These NATAE practices abstracts are classified according to main agroecological principles. They are adapted to several agrosystems specified at the top of each of them.
