In the context of the CHAlleNGE project, the Agroecological Transition Best Practices Mapping activity was launched. The objectives and methods of participation were explained at a meeting held on April 9, 2024.
The invitation to participate was addressed to all stakeholders from the agroecological field, in Italy and abroad: private companies, cooperatives, civil society organizations, public bodies of different sizes and characteristics, research centers and universities.
The intent was to stimulate collaborative dialogue and the building of a network of virtuous practices, guiding more sustainable agricultural models.
The selection was entrusted to a group of experts composed of Giorgio Menchini, spokesperson for Azione TerrAE, Caterina Batello, Vice-President of the Italian Association of Agroecology (AIDA), Cristiana Peano, Ordinary Lecturer at the Department of Agricultural, Forestry and Food Sciences at the University of Turin and President of CISAO, Carlotta Ebbreo, collaborator of the NGO DEAFAL, Riccardo Bocci, agronomist and technical director and former coordinator of the Rural Seeds Network.
The assessment covered 6 nonspecific areas:
1.Systemic scope: integration of ecological and social principles
2.Transformative scope: transition to equitable, sustainable and resilient models
3.Participatory scope: participation of local actors in all phases of planning and
implementation (special reference to peasant and family enterprises, women and youth)
4.Co-creation and knowledge exchange: in the analysis of agri-food systems and
identification of responses
5.Sustainability: sustainability of the processes undertaken from environmental, economic, social, and political perspectives.
6.Replicability: with emphasis on the possibility of horizontal proliferation of
experiences.
