To address these gaps, CAP4AgroInnovation - Agrifood Edition will promote various initiatives to inform and raise awareness among civil society regarding the role of the CAP in fostering innovation for agriculture that is competitive and both environmentally and socially sustainable. Targeting the younger generation in particular, the project will develop an educational program for students, teachers, and professionals in research and journalism; this will provide them with stimulating, interactive materials, activities, and tools to interpret the CAP and understand its importance—not only for agriculture and agricultural innovation but for society as a whole as it evolves.
Furthermore, the project will promote information initiatives using both innovative and traditional formats, analyzing innovation across the entire agricultural value chain—from farm to fork—and the policies supporting it, with a special focus on gender balance and the role of women in agriculture. Ultimately, through mutual learning and the sharing of agricultural knowledge among education and training providers, end-users, researchers, farmers, and citizens involved at various levels of the project’s activities, CAP4AgroInnovation - Agrifood Edition will make a significant contribution to the Agricultural Knowledge and Innovation System (AKIS).
Drawing on the European landscape highlighted by existing literature and the needs analysis conducted under the ParteciPAC and ParteciPAC22 projects, CAP4AgroInnovation will promote various initiatives aimed at the general public, emphasizing the CAP's role in the structural transformation of the agricultural sector.
WP1: Project management and coordination activities, including general and strategic coordination, as well as the management of administrative, financial, legal, operational, and technical tasks.
WP2: "Information for citizens," including community management, social media and instant messaging activities, webinars, and the production of podcasts, videos, and articles. A key focus will be placed on infographics and events dedicated to women in agriculture and their role in innovation processes.
WP3: "Education and training for students." Workshops for high schools (both agricultural and hospitality-focused); masterclasses with chefs highlighting Italian agri-food supply chains; workshops for university students; and the AgroInnovation Award and Filippo Re Prize.
WP4: Training for journalists. Three accredited professional training courses are planned in three cities (Milan, Naples, and Bologna). Additionally, a project will be implemented in collaboration with the *AgroNotizie* editorial team, titled "Women in Agriculture: Agro-innovation Beyond the Gender Gap."
WP5: Project dissemination and communication, including activities to promote the CAP4AgroInnovation Agrifood Edition and its results, as well as to ensure broad engagement with the project's initiatives.
