Farmers and foresters face challenges when adopting advanced technologies that promote sustainability, hindering their widespread adoption. To address this problem, the EU-funded RENOVATE project seeks to develop a knowledge-sharing platform.
This platform will allow farmers and foresters to access new and existing training tools and educational programs, thereby fostering the exchange of practical knowledge. The goal is to improve farmers' capacity to practice sustainable crop management by adopting innovative techniques. Through engaging technologies such as serious games and gamified content, the platform aligns with key initiatives such as the European Green Deal, the Farm to Fork Strategy, the new Common Agricultural Policy, and the United Nations 2030 Sustainable Development Goals.
Based on engaging and motivating technologies, such as serious games and gamified content, the RENOVATE Platform will provide farmers, foresters, and advisors with centralized access to new and existing training resources, applicable legislative information, best practices, and practical, real-world data (including cost data) on the implementation of innovations in the field of plant protection optimization.
The RENOVATE project will develop an engaging knowledge-sharing platform that provides farmers and agroforesters with unique access to new and existing training tools and innovative educational programs. This platform is designed to increase the exchange of practical knowledge and improve farmers' capacities to achieve sustainable crop management through the adoption of innovation.
Based on engaging and motivating technologies, such as serious games and gamified content, the RENOVATE platform will provide farmers, agroforestry professionals, and advisors with centralized access to new and existing training resources, applicable legislative information, best practices, and practical and real-world data (including cost information) on the implementation of innovations in the field of plant protection optimization. RENOVATE will feed the platform with resources from tools and materials developed by previous EU projects, including 14 EIP Agricultural Operational Groups.
Furthermore, RENOVATE will implement 15 different Advanced Knowledge Transfer Actions (AKTAs) across Europe, generating practice-ready knowledge to be shared through the platform. RENOVATE will then align itself with the Green Deal, the Farm to Fork Strategy, and the new CAP, as well as the UN SDGs for 2030. The consortium involves 16 partners from 8 EU countries, who will work together for 48 months, with a total budget of 2,999,998 euros, requesting an equal amount of EU contribution, for a total of 444 person months. The RENOVATE platform, as a single source for the exchange of practical know-how and training materials, is expected to become a reference for local and national administrations in encouraging local farmers and agroforesters to adopt innovation and new technologies for sustainable crop management.
