Deltakende modellering for agroøkologisk overgang Studie av akse 4 i TRAVERSéESprosjektet i Barrois-regionen

Abstract

Ecophyto II+ promotes the mobilisation of stakeholders as one of the new action levers, to achieve its goal of reducing the use of phytosanitary products by 50% by 2025. The TRAVERSéES project is part of this second Ecophyto program with the aim of developing and configuring a numeric model using participatory modelling. Its objective is to simulate and identify scenarios for changing phytosanitary practices. For this second configuration step, the research committee organised a series of two participatory workshops involving local stakeholders from the Barrois region. The question then arises about the participatory form of the process. What are the qualities and limits of the two participatory modelling workshops that have been implemented? To answer this question, a three-step approach was undertaken. First, an exploratory analysis of forms of participation was conducted before participating in the organisation and implementation of the two participatory workshops. Finally, 13 semi-structured interviews were conducted with the stakeholders present at the workshops to characterise the perceived qualities and limits of the workshops. The evaluation criteria were based on concertation indicators, ultimately allowing for an assessment of the participatory nature of the workshops. The perceived limits of the workshops identified two improvement paths in the form of research projects. One proposes the co-construction of secondary components of the numeric model with stakeholders from a new territory. The other suggests co-writing the project with a group of stakeholders defined with an overall goal of agroecological transition.
