WeAreNet takes part in the project "WiseFarmer: Connecting farm generations in the digital age", with the support of EU's Erasmus+ programme, and in collaboration with 7 partners from 5 countries, running from September 2019 until August 2021. Our main task will be development and support of the online learning collaboration platform, but will also engage in many other activities.
The EIP-AGRI Workshop: "Small is smart" - Innovative solutions for small agricultural and forestry holdings, will take place in Bucharest, Romania, on 29-30 October 2019, with reference to the FAO Expert consultation on knowledge sharing for agricultural innovations applicable for smallholders and family farmers in Europe and Central Asia, organized by WeAreNet in collaboration with in 2018.
The platform is accessible at: projects.agrowebcee.net/ship/
The main goal of the network is not only to collect and publish proven and promising innovations suitable especially for the smallholders and family farmers needs, but also to identify and gather problems from the field, and channel it to the platform for possible solution.
The consultation will discuss criteria for data collection on agricultural innovations for smallholders; mechanisms for data collection and validation, related existing platforms/mechanism and gaps; and interaction and collaboration with other platforms and networks to avoid duplication.
