Participatory approaches to address Water-Ecosystems-Food Nexus challenges: focus on the Italian pilot case

Description

Multi-actor approaches are increasingly recognized in Nexus research as the most effective way to
identify divergent interests and interdependencies between usually "siloed" management sectors, as
a fundamental basis for developing effective decision support tools and innovative policy and
technical strategies. In the framework of the PRIMA project LENSES (LEarning and action alliances for
NexuS EnvironmentS in an uncertain future), we developed a methodological approach to implement
a cross-sectoral and multi-level participatory process in the Tarquinia Plain (Italy), as part of a broader
research context that included seven pilots across the Mediterranean. Systematic methodologies for
stakeholders analysis and engagement, as well as mutual learning activities for knowledge sharing
were applied to develop a shared understanding of local societal challenges and potential sustainable
innovations in farming practices, land, and water management.
