DIGITAL CROSS VISITS – Find out more about project 9 Operational Groups, their implementation and results
The project is based on a core group of 9 Operational Groups (OGs), which are coordinated and implemented by some of the consortium members. Digital Cross Visits are online meetings where each partner, in turn, presents its OG working methodology and results. The main purpose of those cross visits is to evaluate the different OGs results and practices, benefiting from the expertise of each of the partners. The evaluation is based on pre-established criteria such as ease of implementation on the field or impact on climate change. Discover all the Climed-Fruit Digital Cross Visits on the dedicated playlist of the project’s YouTube channel:
INNOVATION AND AGRICULTURAL SUPPLIERS – Discover the winners of the Crowd-Writing Contest
Whether innovation is new knowledge applied by mainstream farmers, the role of private companies is essential. The translation of new knowledge into a product, equipment, machinery or a service – that can be used in practice by farmers – is almost always performed by private companies that invest in development in view of an economic and commercial advantage. Therefore, the auxiliary industry must be considered an important actor of innovation in agriculture. The goal of CLIMED-FRUIT is to make mainstream farmers aware of the most recent innovations that promote resilience to climate change. This cannot be achieved without considering the business proposals of private providers. Here are the winning technologies/products from the crowd-writing contest organised by Climed-Fruit:
