Welcome,
You are invited to take part in a video project entitled “Video Contributions: Showcasing agroecological farmer Innovations for Climate Action”, organized by the SWIFT project team. SWIFT (Supporting Women-Led Innovations in Agriculture and rural Territories) is a 4-year EU-funded research project that started in 2023. The overall objective of SWIFT is to foster transitions towards a sustainable, balanced, and inclusive development of rural areas in Europe. You can find more information on the project website: www.swiftproject.eu
Objective of the video initiative
To document key aspects of your daily life as agroecological farmers and showcase the technical or social innovations and local practices you develop to combat and adapt to climate change – making them visible and share with other farmers.
Output
Short explanatory videos(3-7 minutes) to share knowledge and practices between farmers. The material will serve as the basis for creating awareness campaigns and farmer-to-farmer training modules on climate adaptation. The focus is on peer-to-peer learning and local innovation.
Target audience for videos
Dissemination
Your videos remain yours to publish and share on your own website or social media channels. We kindly ask that you also share the videos with us and let us know if you give permission for the videos to be used in the SWIFT project. For:
1. Climate change awareness campaign
2. Farmer-to-farmer training modules
Presented as part of the learning materials for young farmers through farmer-to-farmer learning
The videos will be shared on the SWIFT website and portal (https://hub.urgenci.net/swift/) via the YouTube channel. The videos might also be shared on social media platforms of the SWIFT partner institutions (e.g., Facebook, Twitter/X, Instagram, LinkedIn).
