A multi-actor co-design approach, involving different FAIRshare partners and each country’s multi-actor FAIRshare network (see WP8), identified the criteria for the identification and selection of Good Practice across Europe. This approach ensures that the most relevant and potentially impactful Good Practices are chosen. Cognisant that there is no superior ‘best’ practice capable of responding to all challenges, needs and contexts, an emphasis in the MA process was placed instead on the ways in which DATS can be subjectively perceived as ‘good’ by actors working in different conditions and farming systems and how they can thus become embedded in different cultural contexts.
The objective of this deliverable is to present the central deliberations underpinning the identification of ‘Good Practices’ in an attempt to balance the goals of:
- a) Identifying consistent criteria for recognising Good Practices across different contexts/countries and;
- b) Illuminating practices that are ‘good’ in ways that are actor and context specific, but which may nonetheless be transferable/adapted for transferability to other contexts.
The framework developed firstly enables partners to understand the meaning and importance of Good Practice. The nine Principles for Digitalisation are then presented as further elements that should be considered when evaluating digital advisory tools. Thereafter the document depicts the framing process of who, why, what, where, and how which assists in capturing the needs of end-users.
This deliverable outlines how Hot Topics are suggested by the ENRD (European Network for Rural Development) as particularly useful to thematically organise Good Practices. Hot Topics were identified via relevant literature as well as from workshop outputs from project partners. In total seven parent Hot Topic categories captured the key themes related to Good Practices. The Hot Topic dictionary in Appendix 1 lists the primary subcategories associated with each respective parent category. A quick assessment tool is provided at the end of the document to help partners swiftly evaluate potential Good Practices.
