Project Results

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”.
