The MEDAE network (multi-actor network on agroecology in the Mediterranean) is pleased to invite you to participate in the webinar “Pilot farms, leading farmers… Catalysts and facilitators of the agroecological transition? “ which will take place on Thursday, June 11, 2026 (14:00-16:00 CET).
- A French-English translation will be provided.
- Registration for this event is required
This webinar explores initiatives that promote the testing and dissemination of agroecological practices, such as pilot farms, demonstration fields, and networks of “lead” farmers.
These initiatives, which enable the testing, evaluation, and dissemination of practices, are essential for ensuring the success of agroecological transition. By combining real-world experimentation, peer learning, and technical support, they make it possible to adapt practices to local contexts; reduce both the perceived and actual risks faced by farmers; and promote the adoption of practices and the transfer of knowledge.
Presentations by various speakers (research institutes, technical institutes, NGOs) will provide an opportunity to discuss the conditions for success, limitations, and lessons learned from these initiatives
Speakers:
- Eric Scopel / Centre for International Cooperation in Agricultural Research for Development (CIRAD), UR AÏDA, France
- Hayet Maaroufi / National Institute of Field Crops (INGC), Tunisia
- Josephine N. Ng’ang’a / Research, Community, and Organizational Development Associates (RECODA), Tanzania
