What we achieve
To create a network of MED-GIAHS sites that have valuable agricultural, landscape, cultural, and natural heritage and resilient ecosystems but, however, face serious threats (climate change, globalization, low competitiveness, depopulation, loss of biodiversity and ancestral knowledge).
For which, the project will carry out:
MED GIAHS STRATEGY
It will establish the common framework for the development of sustainable agricultural tourism in GIAHS sites. It will be the basis of the MED-GIAHS network.
It will set the objectives and the tools to achieve measurable results on tourism and environmental terms. It will be the result of the learnings from all the project’s activities.
JOINT GUIDE FOR ACTION PLANS
This methodological guide will determine what type of actions are consistent with the initial MED-GIAHS strategy, classifying them to obtain homogeneous action plans.
This guide will be offered to future candidates to join the MED-GIAHS network for the elaboration of their action plans.
STUDY VISITS AND MUTUAL LEARNING
They will deepen the knowledge of best practices of the three project GIAHS.
They will generate a reflection of the participants on how the companies are adding value to their products /services while preserving their unique ecosystem.
TRAINIG PLAN / PEDAGOGICAL GUIDE
It will identify the type of training actions necessary to increase the operational and knowledge skills of the stakeholders who will play a leading role in the definition of the future action plans.
It will define the suitable formats, the essential contents, and the target groups.
SUSTAINABLE TOURISM CATALOGUES
To identify, catalog and contextualize the sustainable touristic resources of each territory in the frame of a GIAHS to inform tourists about the different sustainable touristic activities they could
experience in a GIAHS.
Each partner will elaborate its local catalogue that will be included in a transnational one.
The outputs and deliverables developed in the project are defined to be used in any other agricultural heritage systems to implement a sustainable tourism valorisation plan or strategy and createmore resilient livelihoods for local communities while uniquely combining tradition and innovation.
