Practice Abstracts
A Practice Abstract (PAs) is a short, practice-oriented summary written in a common format to provide farmers, foresters, advisors and rural communities with concise and accessible information about innovative solutions.
As according to EU CAP Network website, “Practice abstracts in the EIP-AGRI common format helps projects to share their results in an easily understandable way for farmers, foresters, rural communities and other from practice.”
The PAs compiled below originate from ClieNFarms project and reflect some of the work carried out over the course of the project, namely tested and promising mitigation solutions that are being implemented in collaboration
with farmers and stakeholders across the project network, as well as some of the tools developed over the course of the project.
