EXPERT SYSTEM

The expert system as a decision-support tool for farmers.

It consists of interconnected sub-models that simulate the dynamics of SCALARE's specific agroforestry systems. It will be designed in close collaboration with all partners and based on project outputs and existing literature. The Living Labs will provide input and feedback from stakeholders to ensure the system's user-friendliness, accessibility, and long-term sustainability.

TRAININGS

A targeted and participatory capacity building program to exploit results.


The program will be designed to enhance the adoption and long-term sustainability of agroforestry innovations across Living Labs and Demonstration Sites. It focuses on:

  • Empowering stakeholders by strengthening their knowledge and skills on innovative agroforestry systems and their environmental, social, and economic benefits.
  • Supporting the upscaling of agroforestry practices through practical tools and insights that foster sustainable rural development and increase the resilience of local agri-food systems

To achieve these goals, SCALARE applies a Training-of-Trainers (ToT) approach, equipping extension agents and technical advisors with the competencies needed to effectively train others.
