As part of the activities carried out under WP4, the Map of Factors Hindering/Enabling Stakeholders’ and Farmers’ Adoption of C Farming was produced by Andrea Declich and Claudia Colonnello. The document, presented in September 2024, is the outcome of a three-phase research process.
The first phase involved an analysis of the existing literature on the topic, which led to the compilation of a preliminary map comprising 134 individual factors, organised into 12 different categories. In the second phase, the map was validated through consultation with a panel of 18 European experts – including university researchers and researchers working for public institutions, representatives of technology companies, and representatives of farmers’ and agricultural business associations – as well as through five multi-actor dialogue workshops. Finally, the indications that emerged from the validation activities led to the corroboration of the factors and of the category structure, as well as to the integration of the factors, resulting in the final version of the map.
