D6.3  FATIMA  Dissemination  Strategy   27/11/2015   v0.5  

1 Executive  Summary  
The   purpose   of   the   current   deliverable   is   to   set   the   dissemination   strategy   that   will   be   followed   and  
elaborate   on   the   project’s   dissemination   activities   that   will   be   executed   throughout   the   duration   of   the  
project.    

Dissemination  and  stakeholder  engagement  is  crucial  to  the  success  of  FATIMA.  This  document  provides  a  
description  of  the  FATIMA  dissemination  strategy  and  elaborates  how  this  strategy  will  be  locally  applied  to  
the   pilot   areas.   The   FATIMA   consortium   recognises   that   dissemination   activities   are   an   essential   and  
pervasive  activity  throughout  the  project’s  life,  and  thus  they  will  be  integrated  within  all  its  work  packages.  
This   dissemination   strategy   describes   the   project’s   dissemination   objectives   and   measures   for   achieving  
them  throughout  the  duration  of  the  project.  It  defines  and  prioritises  the  key  objectives  of  the  project’s  
dissemination,  identifies  the  main  target  groups  and  the  reasons  for  which  we  want  to  reach  them,  and  sets  
the   expected   results   (Chapter   3.3).   Moreover,   it   identifies   and   prioritises   dissemination   tools   (Chapter   5)  
and  activities  (Chapter  6),  elaborates  the  procedures  of  monitoring  the  dissemination  impact  (Chapter  9),  
and  defines  timelines  for  the  planned  dissemination  activities  for  the  first  year  of  the  project.  
The   D6.3   FATIMA   Dissemination   Strategy   has   been   elaborated   with   the   purpose   to   be   the   main   frame   of  
reference   for   FATIMA   project   partners   on   their   promotion   and   communication   tasks.   Evidence   from   similar  
initiatives  tends  to  confirm  that  unless  dissemination  is  built  in  from  the  beginning  it  does  not  happen.  
The  FATIMA  D6.3  Dissemination  Strategy   is  delivered  at  an  early  stage  (M9),  however  it  will  be  treated  as  a  
‘live’   document   and   will   be   updated   on   annual   basis   plus   ad-­‐hoc   when   necessary   to   assist   project  
consortium  as  well  as  individual  partners  maximize  the  impact  of  their  dissemination  actions.  

2 Context  
The   intensive   crop   production   sector   in   Europe   is   facing   the   challenging   task   of   finding   the   direction  
towards   a   sustainable   future.   Intensive   irrigated   agriculture   is   a   major   pillar   of   global   and   national   food  
security   and   often   the   only   driver   of   rural   economies,   while   it   is   also   the   largest   water   consumer   and   a  
major   soil   and   water   polluter.   More   sustainable   crop   management   strategies   as   well   as   new   incentives   and  
policies  for  ensuring  the  sustainability  of  agriculture  and  ecosystem  services  will  be  crucial  in  order  to  meet  
the  demands  of  improving  yields  without  compromising  environmental  integrity  or  public  health.  
The  challenge  for  sustainable  intensive  crop  production  is  to  achieve  optimized  yield,  both  in  quantity  and  
quality,   and   farm   income   with   a   minimum   of   inputs   (nutrients,   water,   but   also   energy,   pesticides,  
herbicides,   money),   while   conserving   the   environment.   There   is   still   an   important   potential   to   increase  
quantity   and   quality   of   crop   production   per   surface   unit   in   intensive   production   systems   (irrigated   and  
rainfed).  The  key  to  improving  crop  production  efficiency  and  reducing  its  environmental  impact  is   in  fine-­‐
tuning   the   management   of   variability,   both   in   space   (geographic   location,   topography,   soils)   and   time  
(climate,   weather,   phenological   growth   stage).   FATIMA   project   will   provide   tools   and   strategies   for  
managing  space-­‐time  variability  of  farm  inputs.

D6.3  FATIMA  Dissemination  Strategy   27/11/2015   v0.5  

With   FATIMA   the   farmer   is   placed   into   the   center   of   operations   in   a   complex   web   of   multiple   actors:  
external   factors   (agri-­‐business   sector   environment,   public   opinion   on   agricultural   activities   and   resource  
use),  drivers  (market,  seeds,  global  trade,  policies,  transport,  product  commercialization),  site-­‐specific  and  
personal   characteristics   (farm   size,   soils,   agro-­‐eco   zoning   location,   infrastructure,   machinery,   human  
resources,   expertise),   resources   inputs   and   outputs   (labor,   money,   energy),   all   requiring   decisions   to   be  
made   in   real   time   (how   much   to   fertilize/irrigate   where   and   when)   and   in   careful   planning   cycles   at   long  
range  (e.g.,  crop  rotation,  selection  of  crops  and  seeds,  cropping  systems,  farming  systems).  

Farm   Advisory   Services   have   been   proposed   at   EU   and   national   levels,   and   Agricultural   Extension   and  
Irrigation  Advisory  Services  in  various  configurations  have  been  established  over  large-­‐scale  areas  in  many  
countries.  On  a  smaller  scale,  fixed  or  mobile  ground-­‐based  sensor  networks  and  intelligent  machinery  have  
been   deployed   in   precision   farming   systems.   The   technological   capabilities   are   in   place   to   couple   and  
integrate  all  these  efforts  at  the  local  and  at  the  large  scale.    

The  overall  objective  of  FATIMA  project  is  to  establish  innovative  and  new  farm  tools  and  service  capacities  
that   help   the   intensive   farm   sector   optimize   its   external   input   management   (nutrients   and   water)   and  
productivity,   with   the   vision   of   bridging   sustainable   crop   production   with   fair   economic   competitiveness.  
The  project  will  be  implemented  through  the  achievement  of  the  following  specific  objectives:  
Multi-­‐actor   community   platform   and   prosperous   farming   community.   To   strengthen   and   empower   the  
user  community  by  setting-­‐up  and  maintaining  a  multi-­‐actor  participatory  process  in  all  pilot  areas,  which  
puts  the  users  in  the  driver’s  seat  of  development  and  piloting.  
Integrated  EO-­‐and  WSN-­‐assisted  toolsets.  To   develop   Earth   observation   (EO)-­‐and   wireless   sensor   network  
(WSN)-­‐assisted   pre-­‐operational   tools   and   services   for   effective   and   efficient   precision   farming   and   agri-­‐
environmental  management.  
On-­‐farm   nutrient   management.   To   review   the   sustainability   potential   of   state-­‐of-­‐the-­‐art   soil   and   crop  
management  and  cropping  systems  and  to  optimize  and  fine-­‐tune  nutrient  management  at  subplot  to  plot  
scale  and  beyond.  
On-­‐farm   water   management.   To   optimize   and   fine-­‐tune   irrigation   water   management   from   subplot   to  
irrigation  scheme  scale.    
Pilot   demonstration   and   validation.  To  validate  and  demonstrate  the  tools  and  services  in  a  set  of  pilots  
(representative   for   a   wide   range   of   intensive   crop   production   systems:   cereals,   potato,   corn,   rape,  
vegetables,  vine,  fruit)  and  prepare  their  sustainable  operation.  
Sustainable  policy  framework.  To  analyse  relevant  policies  for  synergies,  conflicts  and  feedback  loops  and  
to  develop  a  set  of  indicators  that  allow  for  characterizing  an  enabling  environment  and  design  innovative  
policy  instruments  for  sustainable  crop  production.  
The   challenge   for   sustainable   crop   production   is   to   achieve   optimized   yield   (in   quantity   and   quality)   and  
farm   income   with   a   minimum   of   inputs   (nutrients,   water,   energy,   pesticides,   herbicides,   labor,   money),  
while   preserving   and   protecting   the   environment   and   social   fabric.   The   focus   is   on   nutrients   and   water,  
while  maintaining  an  integrated  perspective  of  all  factors.  The  approach  and  concept  of  FATIMA  project  is  
based  on  five  interconnected  levels  for  optimizing  external  nutrient  inputs  and  water  management  namely:  
a)   On   a   technology   level,   b)   On   the   ground   /   in   the   field,   c)   Working   with   people   in   a   multi-­‐actor  
participative  environment,  d)  On  an  economic  level,  and  e)  On  a  policy  level.    
Finally  the  innovative  FATIMA  toolsets,  practices,  and  frameworks  will  be  implemented  and  demonstrated  
in   eight   pilot   areas   that   represent   a   wide   range   of   European   intensive   crop   production   systems:   Spain  
(irrigated   and   rainfed   wheat,   corn,   onion,   and   vine),   Italy   (tomato,   fruit,   wheat,   corn,   sugar   beet,   vine),  
Greece   (Cotton,   vine,   wheat),   Czech   Republic   (winter   and   spring   barley   and   wheat,   triticale,   corn,   oilseed  
rape),   Austria   (sugar   beet,   vegetables,   potato,   winter   cereal),   Netherlands   (potato,   sugar   beet),   France

(wheat,  tomato,  corn).  We  also  include  a  pilot  in  Turkey  (accession  state  and  important  food  producer  for  
EU)  with  tomato,  wheat  and  corn.  

3 FATIMA  Dissemination  Strategy  


One  of  the  main  elements  which  are  crucial  for  the  successful  implementation  of  FATIMA  project  and  the  
sustainability  of  its  main  outcomes  is  the  dissemination  of  the  project  results  and  marketable  products  to  
well-­‐defined   target   audiences.   Also,   in   order   to   ensure   maximum   awareness,   information   and   participation  
of   stakeholders   in   the   pilot   activities,   a   structured   and   targeted   dissemination   strategy   is   essential   to   be  
developed,   aiming   to   maximize   impact,   involved   throughout   the   whole   duration   of   the   project,   from   its  
design   stage   to   its   completion   and   sustainable   outcomes.   Such   a   strategy   will   contribute   to   the   main  
objective   of   the   project   and   is   being   done   through   the   interaction   with   all   partners.   The   main   aim   of  
FATIMA   dissemination   strategy   therefore   is   to   communicate   properly   FATIMA   scope,   objectives   and  
outcomes   to   its   target   groups   and   audiences,   and   finally   to   engage   to   its   activities   a   wide   spectrum   of  
stakeholders.    
The  FATIMA  dissemination  strategy  has  been  planned  and  drafted  from  early  project  stages.  Starting  early  
usually   increases   the   impact   of   dissemination   since   experience   from   other   projects   has   shown   that   the  
approach  of  leaving  dissemination  until  the  final  year  of  the  project  is  not  functional  as  it  fails  to  allow  time  
for  actively  engaging  users  and  finding  ways  of  generating  a  feeling  of  ownership  amongst  those  people  and  
groups   to   whom   you   wish   to   disseminate   and   make   an   impact.   Another   distinct   characteristic   of   a  
successful  dissemination  strategy  is  maintaining  quality  in  every  step  of  the  strategy.    
 

3.1 Dissemination  Methodology  


The   key   for   a   successful   dissemination   strategy   is   the   application   of   a   dissemination   methodological  
framework  which  is  essential  to  FATIMA  project  due  to  the  need  to  provide  the  consortium  with  a  common  
dissemination  process  model  and  a  set  of  common  criteria,  with  the  purpose  to  identify,  monitor  and  select  
the   suited   dissemination   channels.   Effective   dissemination   can   be   defined   as   that   which   engages   the  
recipient  in  a  process  of  increased  awareness,  understanding  or  commitment  and  action.  Having  articulated  
clearly   exactly   what   the   project   will   be   disseminating   and   who  the   target   audiences/groups   are,   it   is   also  
essential   to   consider   what   benefits   the   outputs/outcomes   of   the   project   will   have   to   offer.   Nothing  
interests   a   person   more   than   offering   a   potential   solution   to   their   particular   problem   so   the   essence   for  
successful  dissemination  strategy  will  be  to  actively  engage  users  and  deliver  what  the  users  both  want  and  
need.  
Initially,  the  project  requires  its  potential  audience  to  be  AWARE  of  its  aims  and  objectives.  Then  they  will  
become   interested   enough   to   wish   a   more   detailed  UNDERSTANDING.   Involvement   in   both   of   these   two  
stages   will   provide   the   basis   for   dissemination   for   ACTION.   This   dissemination   methodological   concept  
leads  to  three  distinct  types  of  dissemination.  
a)   Dissemination   for   Awareness.   This   is   the   minimum   dissemination   that   can   be   achieved   by   making   a  
broad   range   of   people   to   be   aware   of   the   work   of   the   project.   This   particularly   useful   for   those   target  
audiences  that  do  not  require  a  detailed  knowledge  of  the  project  but  it  is  helpful  for  them  to  be  aware  of  
the  project  activities  and  outcomes.  Creating  such  awareness  for  FATIMA  project  will  promote  the  “word  of  
mouth”  dissemination  type  and  help  in  building  an  identity  and  profile  within  FATIMA  community.

D6.3  FATIMA  Dissemination  Strategy   27/11/2015   v0.5  

b)  Dissemination  for  Understanding.  Moving  a  step  further  the  Dissemination  for  Understanding  seeks  to  
approach   those   groups/audiences   that   need   to   be   targeted   directly   with   specific   dissemination.   Such  
groups/audiences   will   be   identified   because   they   can   benefit   from   what   the   project   has   to   offer   and  
therefore  it  is  important  that  these  groups/audiences  have  a  deeper  understanding  of  the  project’s  work.  
c)  Dissemination  for  Action.  When  a  target  audience  adopts  products,  materials  or  approaches  offered  by  
the  project  this  change  of  practice  is  referred  as  “Action”.  Such  groups/audiences  are  those  people  that  are  
in   a   position   to   influence   and   bring   change   within   their   organisations.   These   are   the   groups/audiences   that  
need   to   be   equipped   with   the   right   skills,   knowledge   and   understanding   of   the   project   work   in   order   to  
achieve  real  change.  
Another   basic   pillar   of   the   dissemination   strategy   methodology   is   the   direct   involvement   of   all   the  
members   of   the   consortium   in   the   dissemination   processes   especially   the   ones   responsible   for   pilot  
implementation  (Regional  Teams).  All  project  partners  must  feel  a  sense  of  ownership  of  the  project  and  
must   be   involved   at   all   stages   of   the   strategy’s   development.   It   must   be   ensured   that   each   consortium  
member  has  responsibility  for  a  particular  aspect  of  the  strategy’s  implementation  but  also  a  shared  vision  
and  common  understanding  of  what  has  to  be  disseminated  together  with  a  way  of  describing  this  to  the  
audiences  outside  of  the  project  and  who  may  benefit  from  the  project  work.  This  sense  of  ownership  and  
team  working  on  the  project  is  called  upon  to  take  part  in  various  activities  that  will  bring  FATIMA  project  
to  the  attention  of  as  many  relevant  people  as  possible.  
The   FATIMA   dissemination   concept   follows   the   community   model   of   interconnected   technical   and   social  
learning.   Disseminating   in   a   variety   of   ways   that   suit   the   needs   of   the   target   audiences   and   varying   the  
dissemination   media,   tools   and   activities   increases   the   chances   of   the   strategy   success.   Creative   new  
approaches  will  be  pursued  aiming  at  attracting  the  interest  of  a  large  audience.  Such  approaches  include  a  
range   of   selected   communication   methods,   dissemination   tools   and   actions.   Tools   include   among   others  
the   development   of   the   project   logo,   website,   deliverable   templates,   press   releases,   newsletters   and  
printable   promotional   material   (leaflet,   brochure,   posters   etc).   Social   media   and   networking   groups  
(Facebook,  Twitter  and  LinkedIn)   will   be   used   as   far   as   possible   since   the  degree   of   connectedness   to   social  
media  of   the  project  stakeholders  differs  greatly  from  one  country  to  the  other.  Moreover  dissemination  
tools   to   be   used   include   promotion   through   visual   media   and   mass   media   in   collaboration   with   local   TV  
professionals  in  each  area  but  also  by  developing  Pilot  Stories  on  video,  some  of  which  will  be  accessible  on  
the  internet.  Furthermore  Dissemination  actions  to  be   taken  include  among  others  the  development  of  the  
Network  of  Interest,  writing  scientific  publications  and  the  participation  in  relevant  events.  
Further   dissemination   methodologies   to   be   used   in   the   project   are   in   themselves   generating   maximum  
dissemination  effect  when  being  implemented  and  used  by  our  local  communities.  This  will  be  enhanced  
with  the  innovative  use  of  stakeholder  community  mapping  provided  by  WP1.1.  It  is  envisaged  that  this  will  
strengthen  the  commitment  and  cooperation  of  FATIMA  stakeholders  such  as  farmers  or  water  managers  
by  means  of  advanced  participatory  approaches,  starting  with  the  innovative  use  of  stakeholder  community  
mapping.   This   will   be   one   of   the   tools   to   help   create   contagious   commitment   among   farmers   and   water  
managers  as  we  consider  this  an  essential  part  of  our  work  “on  the  ground”.  In  this  context  we  also  put  in  
practice  some  elements  of  the  Tipping  Point  concept,  by  e.g.,  actively  seeking  out  and  supporting  people  
who  can  act  as  “connectors”  within  and  beyond  their  community.  
Users   who   come   from   a   wide   variety   of   backgrounds,   but   the   great   majority   of   them   are   interested   in  
“gadgets”/tools   of   Information   and   Communication   Technologies   that   can   provide   benefits   in   the   daily  
management.  So  they  are  ready,  or  even  eager  to  try  out  new  tools  related  to  their  daily  work,  provided  
that  these  tools  are  cost-­‐efficient,  intuitive  and  easy  to  use.  Therefore,  technology  is  a  key  entry  point  for  
social   and   technical   learning   (that   are   both   necessary   to   bring   about   the   much   needed   paradigm   change   in  
crop   production   and   farm   management).   This   process   is   contagious:   one   farmer   (or   one   Farmers  

   10  |  77  
D6.3  FATIMA  Dissemination  Strategy   27/11/2015   v0.5  

Association)  starts  using  a  new  toolset  and  soon  his/her/their  neighbour  wants  it  too.  This  is  actually  how  
the  Snowball  technique  will  be  used  to  create  a  powerful  community  process  of  technological  innovation  
within  a  dynamic  participatory  environment  therefore  enhancing  the  impact  of  dissemination.  
Also,  it  has  to  be  noted  that  the  dissemination  strategy  a  dynamic  document  that  will  be  constantly  revised  
throughout   the   project   lifetime   while   dissemination   activities   will   start   at   the   beginning   of   the   project  
developing   the   project   website   and   releasing   dissemination   material   (M6)   and   will   also   continue   till   project  
end.   In   FATIMA,   the   dissemination   the   project   results   are   embedded   throughout   the   Work   Packages   for  
maximum  impact,  while  also  having  WP  6  dedicated  solely  to  all  aspects  of  dissemination,  exploitation,  and  
communication  with  the  mission  to  disseminate  the  project  activities  and  results  in  creative  ways,  to  open  
markets  for  FATIMA  products,  and  to  raise  awareness  on  the  potential  benefits  of  EO  for  sustainable  food  
production  in  the  wider  community.    
Finally,   it   is   crucial   to   ensure   the   sustainability   of   the   dissemination   strategy   so   that   the   knowledge  
developed   within   the   project   continues   to   exist   beyond   the   life   cycle   of   the   project.   Dissemination   and  
exploitation   beyond   the   project   lifetime   will   be   part   of   the   roadmap   for   sustainable   implementation  
developed   in   WP5.   Aiming   to   form   a   network   in   which   the   agricultural   sector   will   become   familiar   with   the  
new   system   and   will   cope   with   the   challenge   of   more   sustainable   and   higher   productivity   with   the  
minimum   impact   on   natural   resources,   FATIMA’s   knowledge   will   be   made   accessible   to   stakeholders  
through  various  channels  and  in  creative  ways.  

3.2 Objectives  
The   core   objective   of   FATIMA   Dissemination   strategy   is   to   fulfil   the   need   to   disseminate   the   concept,  
methodologies,   pilots   and   outcomes   of   the   project   to   particular   community   or   communities   of   target  
audiences.   This   will   only   be   achievable   and   successful   if,   from   early   project   stages,   every   member   of    
project  consortium  has  a  shared  understanding  of  exactly  what  it  is  you  want  to  disseminate  and  why.  
The  main  objectives  of  the  dissemination  are:  
To  raise  awareness  and  provide  high  visibility  of  the  project  and  its  results  among  the  target  groups.  
To  ensure  the  presence  of  a  critical  mass  of  actors  participating  in  the  pilot  activities.  
To  encourage  involvement  of  stakeholders.  
To  raise  awareness  of  policy  makers  and  public  bodies.  
To   gain   acceptance   and   trust   of   the   audience   by   opting   for   tailored   and   personalized   messages,  
providing   balanced   information   from   different   channels   and   by   promoting   dialogue   and  
transparency  within  the  project.  
To  facilitate  synergies  with  similar  or  complementary  initiatives.  
To  ensure  transferability  and  scalability  of  results  by  raising  awareness  about  the  FATIMA  project  
results  to  other  regions  /  stakeholders.  
To  create  a  favorable  reputation  and  competitive  advantage  of  the  project  and  its  solution.  
To  make  the  application  advantages  known  to  the  agricultural  community.    
To  promote,  implement  and  spread  the  use  of  the  service.  
To  transfer  scientific  results  of  the  project  to  relevant  communities.

3.3 Expected  results  


The  expected  results  of  the  FATIMA  dissemination  strategy  are:  
The  awareness  raising  about  the  project  activities,  informing  the  target  audiences  and  the  general  
public   about   the   existence   and   progress   of   the   FATIMA   project.   This   will   be   done   mainly   during   the  
initial  stage  of  the  project  and  actively  supported  by  the  dissemination  tools.  However,  also  during  
the  whole  lifetime  of  FATIMA  project,  the  consortium  will  create  publicity  of  the  project  to  attract  
potential  future  stakeholders  and  ensure  maximum  impact.  
The  explanation  to  the  target  groups  which  benefits  the  project  provides  and  how  the  results  can  
be  exploited.    
The   promotion   of   active   participation   in   the   project,   e.g.   via   the   attendance   in   the   project  
workshops   enhancing   the   links   to   other   projects   and   stimulating   the   participation   in   the   FATIMA  
External  Expert  Advisory  Board.  

4 Target  groups  and  audiences  


The  FATIMA  project  has  a  diverse  range  of  target  groups  and  audiences  that  it  intends  to  contact,  attempt  
to   influence   or   serve.   Some   groups   will   be   the   targets   of   internal   communication   and   information   while  
other   target   groups   are   to   be   found   outside   the   project.   This   section   of   the   strategy   will   address   the  
appropriate  audiences  and  the  dissemination  tool  or  action  for  contacting  and  communicating  with  these  
groups.   The   identification   of   target   groups   by   the   dissemination   strategy   has   to   be   widened   in   order   to  
define   who   the   potential   stakeholders   are,   and   must   not   be   narrowed   down   only   to   base   predominantly  
within  their  immediate  circle  of  experience  and  where  they  know  they  are  likely  to  be  well  received.  
The   target   groups   for   the   FATIMA   project   are   still   being   identified   and   this   is   therefore   an   evolving   list.  
Currently  the  target  audiences  include:  
Farmers  and  farmers’  associations  all  over  Europe  and  beyond,  
Rural  communities,  
Irrigation  water  providers,  river  basin  managers  
Water  or  agricultural  management  authorities  of  regional  or  national  level,  
Irrigation  management  systems  solution  companies,  
Environmental/  agriculture  consultancy  and  software  companies,  
Agribusinesses,  fertiliser  and  plant  nutrient  management  industry,  
Chambers/  associations/  clusters  of  the  abovementioned  companies,  
Agricultural  research  institutes/  networks/  associations,  
Agricultural  educational  institutes/  networks/  associations,  
Regional/  national/  European  (agricultural  or  not)  authorities,  
Social  networks  about  sustainable  agriculture,  
Research  networks  and  initiatives  of  similar  context,  
Mass  and  social  media,  
General  public  and  civil  society.    
The  above  target  groups  can  be  further  categorised  into  four  major  categories.  This  categorisation  provides  
a   grouping   of   the   target   audiences   and   therefore   enhances   the   effectivity   of   approaching   these   groups   and  
narrowing   down   dissemination   in   order   to   define   the   appropriate   dissemination   tools   and   actions,   the  

   12  |  77  
D6.3  FATIMA  Dissemination  Strategy   27/11/2015   v0.5  

communication  objective,  the  key  messages  to  convey  and  finally  the  potential  benefit  they  will  have  from  
FATIMA  project.    
Category  1  includes  Farmers  and  farmers’  associations,  rural  communities,  environmental  and  agriculture  
consultancies   and   relevant   IT   solution   companies,   irrigation   management   solutions   companies   and   other  
agribusiness   related   companies   and   chambers,   associations   and   clusters   of   the   abovementioned  
companies.  This  category  includes  people  who  are  work  actually  on  the  field  and  they  are  in  close  contact  
of   what   production   process   is.   This   category   will   have   a   central   role   in   the   project   since   they   are   the  
potential   users   of   FATIMA   project   assets   and   they   will   be   the   ones   to   receive   the   direct   benefits   of   FATIMA  
solutions   which   are   increased   yields   and   less   spending   on   inputs.   Members   of   this   category   can   be  
approached   with   info-­‐days,   local   workshops,   printable   promotional   material,   Video   stories,   social   media  
and  by  the  website.  
Category   2   includes   the   ones   who   take   decisions   and   provide   funds   such   as   Politicians,   Policy   makers,  
Sponsors   and   other   regional,   national   and   European   authorities.   Category   3   can   be   approached   with   a  
targeted   brochure,   video   stories   and   a   short   demonstration   of   what   FATIMA   project   provides.   Their  
potential  benefit  is  that  that  they  receive  and  have  access  to  innovative  tools  that  can  help  them  save  funds  
and  resources  while  being  able  to  resolve  any  arising  conflicts.    
Category   3   includes   agricultural   research   and   educational   institutes,   networks   and   associations,   the  
scientific   community,   other   research   networks   and   initiatives   of   similar   context.   They   are   the   ones   who  
provide   and   distribute   knowledge.   Members   of   this   category   can   be   approached   through   scientific  
publications,   conferences   and   science   workshops,   posters   and   scientific   results   presentations,  
demonstrations  in  pilot  sites  while  their  potential  benefits  include  the  access  to  high  quality  scientific  data  
and  results.  
Last,   Category   4   includes   the   ones   who   distribute   information   such   as   mass   and   social   media,   the   civil  
society   and   the   general   public.   Members   of   this   category   can   be   approached   with   a   selection   of  
dissemination   tools   such   as   a   media   kit   whereas   the   general   public   can   be   reached   with   printed  
promotional   material,   video   stories,   social   media   accounts.   The   potential   benefit   of   this   category   is   the  
saving  of  funds  and  valuable  natural  resources  but  also  food  production  security.  
The  following  table  summarises  the  4  main  categories  of  target  groups,  the  suitable  dissemination  tools  and  
actions,  the  objective  of  dissemination,  the  key  messages  to  convey  and  the  potential  benefit  the   category  
is  going  to  have  from  FATIMA  project.

5 Dissemination  tools  
The  following  sections  describe  the  dissemination  tools  that  will  be  used  within  the  context  of  the  FATIMA  
dissemination   strategy.   These   tools   can   be   further   specified   after   consultation   with   local   partners   and   in  
relevance  to  the  specified  priorities  on  local  level.  

5.1 FATIMA  Logo  


As   with   every   European   project,   the   project’s   logo   is   the   dissemination   tool   that   aids   and   promotes   instant  
public  recognition  while  it  defines  the  visual  and  graphical  identity  of  the  project  as  a  whole.  The  logo  also  

   14  |  77  
D6.3  FATIMA  Dissemination  Strategy   27/11/2015   v0.5  

communicates   the   uniqueness   of   the   project   and   expresses   its   objectives.   In   order   to   design   the   logo   of  
FATIMA  project,  a  group  of  expert  professional  graphic  designers  were  employed.  The  initial  idea  was  that  
the  logo  is  meant  to  represent  the  concept  of  FATIMA  project  as  a  whole  which  is  sustainable  agriculture.  
After  the  production  of  several  prototypes  the  following  logo  was  selected:  

 
Figure  1:  The  FATIMA  logo  

Symbol:  The  symbol  of  the  logo  is  quite  clear  and  straightforward.  It  illustrates  a  human  hand  holding  three  
plant   leaves   which   actually   can   be   conceived   as   a   hand   sustaining   a   plant   therefore   referring   to   sustainable  
agriculture.   Furthermore   the   symbol   of   the   logo   is   accompanied   by   the   project’s   acronym   along   with   the  
full  acronym  explanation  in  smaller  letters.    
Colour:   Since   colour   is   the   key   element   in   logo   design,   the   hand   was   painted   with   three   different   shades   of  
brown   referring   to   the   soil   that   holds   the   plant,   while   the   three   leaves   were   painted   in   light   blue,   light  
green   and   green   symbolizing   water   and   plant   growth.  The   small   letters   of   the   full   acronym   were   painted  
with  the  same  colours  as  the  symbol.  
Finally,   the   logo   is   the   core   image   of   the   project   as   a   whole   and   it   must   and   will   be   used   in   all   graphic  
material  and  documents  related  to  the  project.  It  must  be  noted  here  that  the  logo  of  FATIMA  project  is  an  
intellectual   property   of   the   project’s   consortium   and   any   use   for   other   purposes   is   discouraged   and  
prohibited.   A   copy   of   the   EU   emblem   and   a   text   stating   that   the   project   has   received   funding   from   the  
Horizon  2020  programme  will  be  included  along  with  the  logo  in  any  dissemination  material  including  the  
electronic   ones.   This   emblem   is   available   from   the   EU   at   the   link:   http://europa.eu/about-­‐eu/basic-­‐
information/symbols/flag/.   The   EU   emblem   accompanied   by   the   abovementioned   text   will   be   added   as  
follows:  

 
Figure  2:  The  EU  emblem  

“This   project   has   received   funding   from   the   European   Union’s   Horizon   2020   research   and   innovation  
programme  under  grant  agreement  No  633945”  

5.2 FATIMA  Slogans  and  mottos  


In   order   to   transmit   a   coherent   message   towards   the   target   groups,   FATIMA   will   be   linked   with   a   catchy  
slogan   as   a   mean   to   draw   attentions.   An   initial   motto   can   be   “Produce   more   with   less”.   However   more  
slogan  and  mottos  will  be  produced  during   the  course   of   the  project   in   all   project   languages   and   in   relation  
with  the  context  of  each  pilot  area.  Other  mottos  developed  by  the  project  team  are  the  “Retrieving  and  

   15  |  77  
D6.3  FATIMA  Dissemination  Strategy   27/11/2015   v0.5  

Integrating  Data  from  Multiple  Information  Sources”,  “Monitoring  crop  environment”  and  “Monitoring  field  
reality”.  

5.3 Project  templates  

5.3.1  Deliverable  Template  

For   the   needs   of   the   production   and   writing   of   the   project’s   deliverables,   51   in   total   -­‐   public   and  
confidential,   a   deliverable   template   has   been   produced   in   an   MS   Word   file   using   a   certain   style.   The  
purpose  of  such  a  template  is  to  have  a  consistent  and  recognizable  layout  for  the  project’s  deliverables.  
The  deliverable  template  has  a  cover  page  that  displays  the  logo  in  a  prominent  position,  the  number  and  
name  of  the  deliverable,  working  package  and  lead  authors  while  at  the  bottom  of  the  page  there  is  a  clear  
information  message  on  the  funding  that  the  project  received  along  with  the  display  of  the  emblem  of  the  
European  Union  as  required  in  the  Article  29.4  of  the  Grant  Agreement.    
Furthermore,   the   second   page   of   the   template   contains   at   the   bottom,   a   disclaimer   that   excludes   the  
responsibility  of  the  European  Commission  for  any  use  that  may  be  made  of  the  information  contained  in  
any   deliverable   as   required   by   Grant   Agreement   Article   29.5.   In   the   same   page   a   copyright   message   is  
displayed  in  order  to  protect  the  originality  of  any  produced  content  within  FATIMA  project.  Furthermore  
the   second   page   of   the   deliverable   template   contains   a   table   with   the   document   related   information   and   a  
table  with  the  document  history  while  the  forth  page  is  reserved  for  the  tables  of  contents  and  figures.  The  
first,   second,   third   and   fourth   pages   of   the   template   remain   static,   do   not   change   and   contain   only   the  
information  referred  above.  The  footer  of  the  template  contains  the  EU  emblem  and  the  project  logo.  
Also,   the   project   template   uses   a   distinctive   custom   colour   pallet   for   table   headings  and   other   general   use.    
The  RGB  pallet  colours  used  can  be  customized  manually  in  MS  Word.  The  colours  are:  
Table  2:  The  colours  of  FATIMA  project  

Colour   R   G   B  
Brown   178   129   79  
Blue   0   160   227  
Green   166   199   36  
Last,   the   FATIMA   Deliverable   template   uses   the   Calibri   fonts,   which   are   a   humanist   sans   serif   typeface  
designed   by   Lucas   de   Groot.   Calibri   fonts   features   subtly   rounded   stems   and   corners   that   are   visible   at  
larger   sizes.   The   use   of   one   font   type   for   all   deliverables   makes   the   template   distinctive,   increases   its  
originality   and   helps   to   promote   a   uniform   template   image,   a   fact   that   increases   the   dissemination   quality.  
The  standard  template  formatting  is  as  follows:  
Document  body  (Normal):  Calibri  11,  Paragraph:  6pt  after  
Heading  1:  Calibri  Bold  20,  Brown  colour  
Heading  2:  Calibri  Bold  18,  Blue  colour  
Heading  3:  Calibri  Bold  16,  Green  colour  
Spacing:  Multiple  1,1pt  
It  has  to  be  noted  that  the  deliverable  template  can  be  updated  during  the  course  of  the  project  but  the  
idea  colours  and  fonts  will  remain  the  same.

5.3.2 Presentation  template  

Same  as  deliverables  a  FATIMA  Project  Presentation  template  has  been  created  using  MS  PowerPoint.  The  
presentation   template   uses   the   same   graphic   identity   guidelines   as   the   deliverables   template   in   order   to  
facilitate  the  recognition  of  the  project.  The  presentation  template  will  be  used  in  all  events  and  meetings  
where   FATIMA   results   and   activities   are   presented.   The   template   will   be   updated   if   needed   during   the  
course   of   the   project.   The   FATIMA   and   the   European   Union   emblem   have   also   been   added   in   each   one  
slide.

5.4 FATIMA  Website  


The  FATIMA  website  serves  as  the  project’s  main  dissemination  tool  and  will  be  updated  on  a  regular  basis.  
The   FATIMA   website   goal   will   be   twofold.   First,   it   will   be   used   as   a   management   tool   among   the   project  
partners   by   offering   access   to   all   documentation   and   deliverables   produced   in   the   course   of   the   project  
(FATIMA   Partners’   area).   Second   it   will   be   used   as   a   dissemination   tool   among   the   FATIMA   interested  
audience   by   providing   information   on   the   project’s   activities,   progress   and   outcomes   (Public   section).   A  
separate   deliverable   (D6.4)   of   FATIMA   project   is   about   the   project’s   website   and   contains   further   technical  
details  and  provisions.  
Furthermore,   the   website   will   advertise   the   project   to   relevant   stakeholders   such   as   farmers,   farmers  
associations,   rural   communities,   agribusinesses   and   the   general   public.   The   technical   realization   of   FATIMA  
website   has   been   the   product   of   collaboration   among   several   professionals   in   the   field   such   as   graphic  
designers,   web   developers   and   media   experts.   The   current   version   of   the   FATIMA   website   follows   the  
project´s  graphical  identity  and  presents  a  project  overview,  including  objectives,  project  partners  and  the  
activities  proposed  within  the  project.  The  FATIMA  web  presence  serves  as  a  central  point  of  entry  to  all  
public   materials,   such   as   public   deliverables,   reports,   newsletters,   informational   material   (brochures,  
leaflets,  and  posters),  presentations  and  promotional  videos  developed  as  part  of  the  project.  
Since  the  FATIMA  website  will  be  the  core  communications  hub  of  the  project,  it  has  to  support  at  least  the  
languages   of   involved   partners   and   pilot   countries.   For   that   reason   the   website   will   be   available   in   Spanish,  
Italian,   French,   Czech,   Greek,   German,   Turkish   and   English.   The   website   multilingualism   is   particularly  
important  in  order  to  maximise  the  dissemination  impact.  The  website  translations  will  be  done  using  the  
WordPress  Multilingual  Plugin1  which  has  been  installed  for  this  reason.    
Also   the   FATIMA   website   has   been   designed   taking   into   account   specific   provisions   and   requirements  
related  to  obligations  to  the  EU,  gender  and  target  groups/stakeholders.  The  first  version  of  the  website  is  
available   in   the   following   web   addresses   www.fatima-­‐h2020.eu   and   www.fatima-­‐project.eu.   The   first  
address  is  the  primary  address  of  the  project  while  the  second  just  automatically  redirects  to  the  first  one.    
During   the   course   of   the   project,   the   website   will   be   constantly   developed   while   additional   areas   will   be  
added.  Also  the  structure  and  especially  the  content  of  the  FATIMA  web  site  will  be  subject  to  modification,  
updated   with   news,   diagrams,   graphic   material,   other   info,   downloads   and   links.   Website   activity   will   be  
monitored   using   Google   analytics,   a   tool   that   helps   to   analyse   visitor  traffic   and   gives   a   complete   picture   of  
the  website  audience  and  their  needs.  Google  analytics  will  be  used  in  order  to  improve  website  quality  and  
to  evaluate  the  website  use  as  a  dissemination  tool.

D6.3  FATIMA  Dissemination  Strategy   27/11/2015   v0.5  

Furthermore,   the   FATIMA   website   will   contain   a   Partners   area.   This   is   the   most   important   page   of   the  
FATIMA  website  in  terms  of  workflow  and  the  progress  of  the  project  as  a  whole.  This  page  is  not  publicly  
available  and  it  appears  in  the  menu  bar  after  the  user  has  completed  the  login  process.  Access  to  Partners  
Area  will  be  granted  upon  request  to  registered  consortium  members,  European  Commission,  and  Advisory  
Board  members.  The  Partners  Area  includes  all  the  information  that  project  partners  need  for  keeping  up  
with  the  project  work.  The  first  object  displayed  is  the  TeamUp  project  calendar  that  includes  all  dates  for  
project  meetings,  external  events,  public  holidays,  team  members  on  holiday  and  on  travel.    
Also  the  Partners  Area  includes  all  email  distribution  lists,  templates  for  deliverables  and  presentations,  FTP  
access   credentials,   further   photographs   and   videos   and   all   the   finalized   deliverables   (Public   and   Private).  
Last   within   FATIMA   Partners   Area   the   Document   Revisions   WordPress2  plugin   has   been   embedded   in   order  
to  enable  the  project  partners  to  collaborate  on  documents  while  allowing  document  version  control.

5.5 FATIMA  QR  Code  


A   QR   code   has   been   created   in   order   to   allow   mobile   users   to   quickly   access   FATIMA   website.   The   QR   code  
will  be  included  in  different  types  of  dissemination  material,  such  as  printed  leaflets  and  posters,  in  order  to  
raise  public  awareness  on  the  project  and  increase  user  engagement.  

 
Figure  6:  FATIMA  project  QR  code.  

5.6 Email  account  and  email  lists  


For  the  needs  of  official  communication,  the  main  email  account  of  FATIMA  project  has  been  established.  
The   address   is   info@fatima-­‐h2020.eu.   This   account   will   be   included   in   all   used   dissemination   tools,   such   as  
the   project   website,   social   media   accounts,   printed   material   etc.   DRAXIS,   as   the   coordinator   of   the   project,  
will   be   responsible   managing   of   this   account,   while   enquiries,   comments,   and   information   will   be  
forwarded  by  DRAXIS  to  project  partners  if  necessary.  
In  addition,  several  mailing  lists  have  been  established  for  associate  partners,  stakeholders,  for  those  with  
other   broad   interests   in   the   project,   and   for   potential   FATIMA   output   users.   These   mailing   lists   are  
accessible  via  the  FATIMA  website  for  self-­‐registration.  Opportunities  to  participate,  project  updates  and  an  
electronic   copy   of   the   newsletter,   will   be   sent   out   to   these   lists   to   maintain   contact   with   the   community  
throughout  the  project.  Also  each  partner  is  encouraged  to  develop  and  maintain  an  email  list  related  to  
the  partner’s  country  of  origin  and  field  of  interest.    
The  mailing  lists  are  managed  by  DRAXIS  SA,  using  MailChimp  application.  MailChimp  was  selected  since  it  
offers   a   plenty   of   advanced   reporting   options   that   can   be   accessed   from   anywhere.   Materials   to   be  
distributed   to   these   lists   should   be   sent   to   DRAXIS   SA.   The   sign   up   form   for   all   of   the   mailing   lists,   including  
the  FATIMA  Newsletter,  can  be  accessed  at  the  homepage  of  FATIMA  website.    

5.7 Social  media  


In  order  to  complement  the  FATIMA  web  presence  and  to  increase  the  project’s  dissemination  capacity,  the  
use  of  social  media  and  networks  was  pursued.  Contemporary  social  media  are  a  suitable,  innovative  way  
to  boost  the  imminent  dissemination  of  the  project’s  methods  and  results  but  also  a  creative  new  approach  
to  attract  the  interest  of  a  large  audience  and  to  enhance  stakeholder  engagement  efforts3,4.  Social  media  
will   be   used   as   far   as   possible   since   the   degree   of   connectedness   to   social   media   of   the   project’s  
stakeholders   differs   greatly   from   one   country   to   the   other.   Last   but   not   least,   most   of   social   media  
platforms  provide  services  for  measuring  and  analyzing  user  traffic  and  interaction  thus  providing  a  way  to  
evaluate  the  effectiveness  of  the  dissemination  strategy.

D6.3  FATIMA  Dissemination  Strategy   27/11/2015   v0.5  

Currently,  FATIMA  has  active  Facebook  and  LinkedIn  pages,  Twitter,  Google+  and  YouTube  accounts  which  
are  directly  linked  to  the  project’s  website.  All  social  media  accounts  and  pages  are  managed  by  DRAXIS  SA,  
the  project  partner  responsible  for  all  dissemination  activities.    
For  the  beginning  of  the  project  social  media  presence  will  be  used  primarily  as  a  dissemination  channel  for  
news,   events,   information   about   the   project.   However   it   is   expected   the   as   the   project   evolves,   results   and  
stakeholder  experiences  will  be  shared  and  publicized.      

5.7.1 Facebook  page  

The   Facebook   page   of   FATIMA   project   can   be   found   in   the   following   link:  
www.facebook.com/FatimaH2020project.  Access  to  Facebook  page  is  also  provided  in  the  homepage  of  the  
website.  
The   official   language   of   the   page   will   be   English;   however   there   is   no   restriction   in   the   use   of   other  
languages  especially  the  ones  from  the  pilot  areas.   The  Facebook  page  displays  at  a  prominent  position  the  
number   of   Facebook   users   who   “liked”   the   page   content   and   provides   tools   for   comment,   picture,   and  
video   uploading   while   there   is   a   calendar   option   to   publicize   upcoming   events   or   meetings.   Facebook   page  
has   been   established   be   DRAXIS   SA   staff   and   it   is   possible   that   as   the   project   evolves   additional   page  
administrators  will  be  assigned  from  the  rest  of  the  project  partners.  
DRAXIS   will   be   the   administrator   of   the   Facebook   page.   The   administrator’s   role   is   to   manage   all   aspects   of  
the   page   including   messages   dispatch   and   publication   of   posts,   confirmation   of   posts   and   comments,  
assignment  of  page  roles.  Moreover,  since  other  partners  have  the  potential  to  promote  the  page  to  a  wide  
network   of   stakeholders,   they   will   also   be   added   as   editors.   The   editor   has   the   same   roles   with   the  
administrator   except   for   assigning   Facebook   page   roles.   Additional   editors   may   be   added   during   the  
development  of  the  project.  
The  page  will  be  open  to  everyone  to  follow.  A  brief  description  of  the  project  will  be  added  to  the   FATIMA  
Facebook  page  in  order  to  inform  the  general  public  about  the  objectives  of  the  project.  The  links  to  the  
FATIMA  website  will  be  also  displayed  in  the  FATIMA  Facebook  page.  
The  page  will  be  shared  to  various  directions  in  order  to  maximise  its  popularity.  More  specifically,  it  will  be  
shared  to:  
Targeted  Facebook  groups  
Other  Facebook  pages  that  project  partners  manage  
Partners’  Facebook  accounts  etc  
Pilot  partners  will  be  asked  to  take  advantage  of  the  dissemination  channels  to  which  they  have  access,  in  
order  to  raise  awareness  at  local/  regional  level  in  areas  where  user  engagement  is  a  priority.

5.7.2 Twitter  account  

The   FATIMA   Twitter   account   will   be   used   as   a   primary   feed   for   disseminating   projects’   news   and  
announcements   and   to   promote   project   activities,   particularly   attendance   of   events,   meetings,  
conferences.   DRAXIS   SA   staff   will   have   the   account’s   editorial   control,   however,   each   project   partner,   as  
well  as  any  Twitter  user,  will  be  able  to  add  links  to  announcements  using  the  FATIMA  hashtag  and  make  
retweets.   Twitter   activity   will   be   measured   through   follower   counts   for   the   project   account.   Additional  
statistics  will  also  be  available  via  the  new  Twitter  Analytics  service  (https://analytics.twitter.com/about/).  
Twitter  account:  @Fatima_H2020

Preferred  hashtag  for  project  tweets:  #Fatima_H2020  

 
Figure  8:  FATIMA  Twitter  account  homepage  

5.7.3 LinkedIn  group  

LinkedIn   is   the   world’s   largest   professional   network   with   over   225   million   members.   It   is   a   business-­‐
oriented   social   networking   service   and   differs   from   other   social   media   since   it   is   mostly   used   for  
professional   reasons.   FATIMA   LinkedIn   group   has   been   created   and   managed   by   DRAXIS   staff.   The   group  
will  be  used,  will  be  mainly  used  for  building  up  a  professional  network  with  experts  and  other  groups  in  
the  fields  of  Sustainable  Agriculture,  Precision  Agriculture,  Agriculture  &  Unmanned  Aerial  Vehicles  (UAV)  
and  Water  Technologies.  
In  this  social  network,  LDA  can  raise  awareness  about  it  among  the  target-­‐groups  as  many  are  registered  
here.  However,  as  attracting  people  to  a  given  group  might  be  difficult  and  very  time  consuming,  due  to  the  
large  number  of  groups  available,  the  strategy  of  LDA  concerning  LinkedIn  is  to  post  information  and  news  
in  different  already  establish  groups  focusing  on  the  topics  approached  in  the  project.  Thus,  the  following  
groups  are  considered  as  relevant:  
The  FATIMA  LinkedIn  group  name  is  “FATIMA  H2020  Project”.

5.7.4 Google+  page  

A   Google+   page   has   been   established   in   order   to   provide   a   clear   central   profile   to   associate   with   the  
FATIMA   YouTube   presence   and   any   further   Google   tools   which   can   be   adopted.   A   link   has   been   made  
between   the   Google+   Page   and   the   main   FATIMA   website   in   order   to   provide   more   effective   search   results  
for  those  looking  for  the  FATIMA  Project.  
It  is  envisioned  that  initially  YouTube  videos  will  provide  the  main  content  for  the  Google+  page,  but  this  
will   be   extended   to   additional   updates.   Automated   posting   to   Google+   from   the  FATIMA   Twitter   account  
will   be   investigated   as   this   would   provide   a   simple   mechanism   for   project   partners   to   contribute   or   have  
their  contributions  recognised  on  this  page.  
The  link  to  the  FATIMA  Google+  page  is:

5.7.5 YouTube  Channel  and  Audiovisual  productions  

For   the   needs   of   FATIMA   project   a   YouTube   Channel   has   been   established   and   managed   by   UCLM   and  
DRAXIS.   It   will   be   used   as   a   media   channel   for  the   distribution   and   sharing   of   audio-­‐visual   material   that   will  
be   produced   during   the   course   project   including   presentations,   promotional   spots   or   other   videos  
associated  with  the  project.  
The  link  to  the  FATIMA  YouTube  channel  is:    
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCarlVpG4VN2GZe5xlkCCYDw  
Stories   play   a   special   role   in   attracting   a   wider   audience   of   heterogeneous   backgrounds   and   transmit  
powerful   messages.   As   noted   in   the   project   proposal,   videos   of   pilot   stories   will   be   created   in   order   to  
illustrate   the   context   of   farming  in  pilot  areas  and  the  development  of  the  current  paradigm  of  intensive  
crop  production,  as  well  as  capturing  the  vision  of  stakeholders  of  a  sustainable  future.  A  communications  
professional   company   will   be   employed   to   make   audio-­‐visual   production   of   the   FATIMA   stories.  
Furthermore,   short   introductory   videos   of   FATIMA   project   will   be   produced.   All   produced   audio-­‐visual  
material  will  be  uploaded  and  be  accessible  on  FATIMA  YouTube  channel.

5.7.6 General  rules  for  social  media  use  

The  FATIMA  website,  will  remain  the  Project’s  primary  online  source  for  information.  Social  media  will  be  
used   to   complement   the   website’s   information   and   broaden   the   reach   of   messages   through   multiple  
channels.   No   confidential   information   will   be   posted   to   any   social   media   under   any   circumstances.  
Comments   containing   any   of   the   following   shall   not   be   allowed   and   will   be   removed   by   social   media  
accounts  managers:  
Comments  not  topically  related  to  the  particular  site  or  article  being  commented  on.  
Profane  language  or  content.  
Content   that   promotes,   fosters   or   perpetuates   discrimination   on   the   basis   of   race,   creed,   color,  
age,  religion,  gender,  marital  status,  status  with  regard  to  public  assistance,  national  origin,  physical  
or  mental  disability,  or  sexual  orientation.

5.8 Project  newsletter  


A   short,   regular   newsletter   is   a   key   dissemination   tool   to   inform   relevant   target   audiences   and   will   be  
produced  and  circulated  appropriately  every  six  months  consisting  of  brief  articles  and  updates  from  across  
the   FATIMA   work   packages   and   partners.   The   FATIMA   newsletter   will   be   circulated   in   electronic   form  

   26  |  77  
D6.3  FATIMA  Dissemination  Strategy   27/11/2015   v0.5  

through   appropriate   email   lists   and   be   available   as   a   PDF   files   via   the   project   website.   Paper   copies   may   be  
printed  if  needed  for  distribution  to  stakeholders,  community  members  or  attendees  of  special  events.  
The  newsletter  will  provide  a  route  to  communicating  key  updates  about  the  project  and  a  mechanism  for  
relevant   stakeholders   to   be   kept   informed   and   engaged   with   the   project   between   initially   indicating  
interest  and  the  roll  out  of  deliverables.  Content  for  the  newsletter  based  upon  reports  filed  by  partners  on  
events  attended;  key  updates  on  development;  presentations,  workshops,  and  demonstrations  delivered;  
reports,   publications   and   media   interest.   Partners   will   be   contacted   by   DRAXIS   for   these   contributions  
and/or   for   their   approval   of   news   items.   The   newsletters   template   can   vary   according   to   the   subjects  
covered,   but   the   cover   page   will   follow   the   FATIMA   project   graphical   identity   clearly   identifying   the   project  
as  being  part  of  an  EU-­‐funded  programme  and  including  the  project  logo.  
Some  of  the  topics  that  will  be  addressed  by  the  FATIMA  newsletters  are:  
Presentation  of  the  project  (1st  issue)  
Announcements  of  the  project’s  progress  in  brief  articles  
News  from  the  pilot  cases  
Dates,  details,  comments  regarding  project  related  conferences,  meetings,  events  or  publications.  
In  order  to  engage  as  many  stakeholders  as  possible,  the  FATIMA  partners  are  encouraged  to  distribute  the  
newsletters  to  their  contacts  who  may  be  interested  in  the  project.  Apart  from  this,  interested  parties  can  
subscribe   to   the   newsletter   on   the   project’s   website.   The   newsletters   template,   presented   in   ANNEX   D   –  
Templates   and   printable   promotional   material,   follows   the   FATIMA   project   graphical   identity   and   clearly  
identifies  the  project  as  being  part  of  an  EU-­‐funded  programme.  

5.9 Promotional  printable  material  (target  group  tailored  


dissemination  documents)  

5.9.1 Leaflet  

Leaflets  are  a  simple  means  of  informing  the  different  audiences  of  the  purpose,  progress  or  findings  of  the  
project.  Leaflets  can  address  general  project  issues  since  they  will  be  printable  in-­‐house  and  will  allow  a  fast  
replication.   Leaflets   will   be   editable   and   printable   by   any   of   the   project   partners,   and   therefore,   will   be  
tailorable   both   in   terms   of   content   and   language.   In   order   to   raise   awareness   of   the   project   even   at   the  
initial  stage,  the  consortium  has  created  a  first  version  of  a  leaflet  to  be  distributed  through  all  partners  to  
any  dissemination  event  they  participate  in.  The  paper  size  of  the  leaflet  will  be  A5  and  special  folding  and  
cutting   will   be   applied.   For   the   initial   needs   of   the   project   1000   leaflets   will   be   printed.   They   are   also  
available   for   download   from   the   project   website.   However,   pilot   partners   are   strongly   encouraged   to  
translate  the  leaflet  in  their  language  and  distribute  it  to  the  pilot  sites  in  order  to  maximise  engagement.  
The  leaflet  will  be  circulated  by  email  or  printed  and  distributed  at  events.  The  initial  version  of  the  FATIMA  
leaflet  is  included  in  the  current  deliverable  in  ANNEX  D  –  Templates  and  printable  promotional  material.  

5.9.2 Brochure  

The  project  brochure  will  be  one  of  the  main  promotional  materials  of  the  project,  to  be  delivered  and  sent  
to   the   various   stakeholders,   allowing   a   fast   understanding   of   the   project’s   aims,   activities,   pilots   and  
expected  results.  The  brochure  will  be  in  A4  size  and  will  have  multiple  pages.  It  is  a  more  official  document  
and  will  contain  more  information  and  graphics  than  the  leaflet.

5.9.3 Poster  

Posters  are  dissemination  means  that  are  mainly  used  in  events  that  can  be  either  organised  by  the  project  
or  can  be  external  conferences,  symposia,  workshops,  seminars  or  others  in  relevant  domains.  Such  posters  
will  be  provided  as  necessary.  Among  others,  the  FATIMA  poster  will  include  the  following  main  items:    
FATIMA  Logo  –  Slogan  –  Key  Words    
EU  emblem  and  statement  of  the  EC  funding  
Links  for  the  project  website  and  FATIMA  QR  code  
Eye  catchy  images  to  attract  attention.  
The  initial  version  of  the  FATIMA  leaflet  is  included  in  the  current  deliverable  in  ANNEX  D  –  Templates  and  
printable  promotional  material.  

5.9.4  Info  factsheet  

The   info   factsheet   will   be   a   single   sheet   printed   A4   (one   or   two   sided   depending   on   the   amount   of   text)  
paper  containing  information  on  the  project  as  a  whole  but  also  can  contain  and  analyse  specific  parts  of  
the  project  e.g  a  Work  Package  fact  sheet  or  a  factsheet  dedicated  to  serve  a  specific  audience.  The  main  
difference   with   the   leaflet   is   the   layout.   Different   fact   sheets   will   be   produced   during   the   course   of   the  
project   and   will   be   available   in   the   website.   The   factsheet   will   be   disseminated   in   formal   events   (e.g.  
workshops,   conferences,   etc.)   in   order   to   inform   all   relevant   stakeholders   about   the   key   points   of   the  
FATIMA  project.  The  factsheet  will  be  also  available  in  an  online  version  through  the  FATIMA  website.  

5.9.5 Press  release  template  

The  press  release  is  the  most  important  form  of  written  information  that  must  be  sent  to  journalists  and  
other   media,   and   it   must   be   issued   at   the   start   of   all   projects   or   when   a   major   milestone   of   the   project   has  
been  achieved.  The  FATIMA  press  release  template  includes  elements  such  as  the  purpose  of  the  project,  
the  beneficiaries,  and  also  the  results  achieved  so  far.  It  also  incorporates  the  EU  logo  and  mentions  that  
funding   was   provided   by   the   EU.   If   a   press   conference   is   planned,   the   press   release   must   include   the   name  
of  the  person  who  will  be  present  at  the  press  conference,  if  appropriate.  A  press  release  template  leaflet  is  
included  in  the  current  deliverable  in  ANNEX  D  –  Templates  and  printable  promotional  material.  

5.9.6 Media  Kit  

The  media  kit  is  a  pre-­‐packaged  set  of  promotional  material  of  the  project  for  the  purpose  to  be  distributed  
in   the   members   of   the   press   and   media.   Media   kit   is   not   a   distinctive   dissemination   material   itself.   For  
FATIMA  it  will  include  a  conference  folder,  a  leaflet,  a  factsheet,  the  latest  newsletter  and  a  USB  stick.  

5.9.7 Branded  and  Promotional  Items  

Branded   and   promotional   items   of   FATIMA   project   are   products   that   aim   to   maximise   the   dissemination  
efforts  of  FATIMA  project  and  also  to  act  as  gifts  to  selected  stakeholders.  These  include  Ball  point  pens  /  
pencils,   T-­‐shirts,   Hats,   Conference   folders,   Notepads   and   USB   flash   drives.   T-­‐shits   and   hats   will   be  
distributed  to  farmers  while  USB  flash  drives  will  be  distributed  including  the  project  deliverable  and  other  
material   at   the   end   of   the   project.   Promotional   items   must   be   distributed   when   specified   in   the  
communication   strategy   of   a   project   (usually   only   for   major   projects).     All   kinds   of   promotional   items   (such  
as  T-­‐shirts,  caps  and  pens)  can  be  produced  by  implementing  partners  or  contractors  as  supporting  material  

   28  |  77  
D6.3  FATIMA  Dissemination  Strategy   27/11/2015   v0.5  

for   their   information   and   communication   activities   in   the   framework   of   their   programme   and/or   project.  
Photos  of  branded  and  promotional  items  are  included  in  the  current  deliverable  in  ANNEX  D  –  Templates  
and  printable  promotional  material.  

6 Dissemination  Actions  
The  following  sections  outline  the  dissemination  activities  envisioned  to  be  carried  out  in  the  scope  of  the  
FATIMA  project.  

6.1 Multi-­‐actor  community  


FATIMA  follows  a  people-­‐centered  approach,  in  line  with  the  multi-­‐actor  concept.  In  order  to  form  a  strong  
alliance   of   users   and   other   key   stakeholders,   we   are   setting   up   interconnected   multi-­‐actor   community  
platforms   in   each   pilot   area.   A   dedicated   Workpackage   (WP1.1)   has   been   established   for   this   purpose.   This  
includes  physical  meetings  (“Regional  Meetings”  every  6  months),  access  to  the  central  webGIS  hub  (as  a  
participatory  information-­‐sharing  tool)  and  groups  in  social  media.  At  the  core  of  it  are  the  Core  Users,  i.e.  
those  local  users  that  collaborate  in  the  FATIMA  tools  and  services  design  and  evaluation  throughout  the  
project.  Each  platform  is  coordinated  by  a  Regional  Manager.  
The   multi-­‐actor   community   platform   will   also   act   as   a   main   dissemination   pole   for   the   engagement   of  
further  stakeholders  with  the  aim  of  transforming  them  into  actors.  
The   overall   aim   of   the   multi-­‐actor   community   platform   is   to   foster   a   strong   collaborative   multi-­‐actor  
partnership/community   with   a   sense   of   co-­‐ownership   and   responsiblity   of/for   FATIMA   tools   and   to   create  
the   enabling   environment   for   implementation,   market   uptake,   and   sustainable   financing.   This   includes  
setting  up  a  participatory  process  focused  on  assessing  major  sustainability  issues  in  the  pilot  areas  aimed  
at   promoting   the   engagement   and   cooperation   of   all   actors   in   the   development   of   a   shared   vision   for  
sustainable   crop   production.   This   activity   spans   communities   from   the   local   level   (Core   Users   groups)   to  
international  networks  (like  EIP  operational  groups).  

6.2 Mass  Media  communication  (TV,  radio)  


Obtaining  news  coverage,  whether  at  a  national  or  local  level,  can  increase  the  profile  of  the  project  at  a  
great  extent  and  reach  a  very  wide  body  of  people.  The  main  target  is  journalists,  related  TV/radio  shows,  
columns  in  newspapers.  
The  scope  of  the  mass  media  communication  activities  will  be  to  inform  the  general  public  through  mass  
media  about  the  FATIMA  project,  to  obtain  news  coverage  at  a  national  or  local  level,  in  order  to  increase  
the  profile  of  the  project  and  reach  a  very  wide  body  of  people.  These  activities  will  target  a  wide  variety  of  
news   agencies   and   mass   media   with   general   or   specialised   interests,   individual   journalists   with   a   special  
interest   FATIMA   related   topics,   related   TV/radio   shows   or   columns   in   newspapers.   The   FATIMA   consortium  
intends   to   disseminate   the   FATIMA   project   through   TV   and   radio   channels,   web   media,   and   newspapers  
and   magazines   -­‐   either   printed   or   electronic   ones.   Such   a   channel   is   the   official   web   portal   of   the   European  
Commission   (http://ec.europa.eu/research/index.cfm)   that   reaches   a   wide   audience   and   provides  
information  on  EU-­‐funded  research.  Through  this  website  information  on  and  links  to  the  FATIMA  project  
will   be   accessible   to   the   general   public,   the   research   community,   policy-­‐makers   and   the   media.   EurActiv  
(http://www.euractiv.com/)   is   another   portal   to   which   posts   relevant   to   the   FATIMA   project   will   be  

   29  |  77  
D6.3  FATIMA  Dissemination  Strategy   27/11/2015   v0.5  

uploaded.  EurActiv  is  an  independent  and  multilingual  EU  policy  portal  that  targets  mainly  the  community  
of   EU   actors:   EU   institutions,   industry   and   unions,   non-­‐governmental   organisations   (NGOs),   media,  
countries,  regions  and  cities.    
Only  selected  information  will  be  published  in  mass  media,  and  the  information  will  be  presented  in  a  clear  
and  accessible  format  for  people  of  all  educational  levels.    
Mass  media  will  be  fed  through  the  following  dissemination  tools:    
press  releases  
audiovisual  material  that  will  be  uploaded  at  YouTube  channel  
project  results  and  newsfeed  that  will  be  available  at  the  project’s  website  
audiovisual  or  printed  material  with  information  about  the  FATIMA  meetings  
project’s  presentations  and  partners’  interviews  that  could  be  performed  during  the  organisation  of  
targeted  events  or  participation  in  non-­‐project  events.    
In  order  to  avoid  discrepancies  among  the  information  that  will  be  communicated  in  mass  media  from  the  
project   partners,   the   DRAXIS   the   project   partner   responsible   for   dissemination   is   going   to   prepare   an  
indicative   interview   template.   The   FATIMA   partners   are   encouraged   to   disseminate   the   FATIMA   project  
through  mass  media  on  a  regular  basis.  However,  the  official  contact  with  the  mass  media  will  be  held  by  
DRAXIS  through  the  official  email  account  of  the  FATIMA  project.    
Press   conferences   will   be   given   only   after   such   decision   has   been   made   by   the   Project   Board   and  
Coordinator.  An  indicative  list  of  mass  media  active  in  the  countries  of  the  project  partners  is  presented  in  
ANNEX  E  –  Mass  Media  and  News  Agencies.  

6.3 Press  releases  


The   press   release   is   the   most   important   form   of   written   information   that   must   be   sent   to   journalists.   Press  
releases   will   be   prepared   in   English.   However,   all   partners   are   encouraged   to   translate   them   in   their   native  
language.   Where   the   implementing   partner   launches   the   press   release   it   should   liaise   with   the   Project  
Coordinator   and   the   partner   responsible   for   dissemination   before   sending   it   out.   The   press   release   will  
include  elements  such  as  the  purpose  of  the  project,  the  partnership  between  the  EU  and  the  beneficiaries,  
and  also  the  results  achieved  so  far.  
The   release   will   incorporate   the   EU   logo,   mention   that   funding   was   provided   by   the   EU,   mention   the  
amount  of  EU  funding  in  Euro  and  in  the  local  currency.  The  release  must  be  dated  at  the  top.  Generally,  
journalists  prefer  to  be  able  to  use  the  release  immediately,  in  this  case  'For  immediate  release'  must  be  
written  at  the  top  of  the  document.  However,  it  is  sometimes  appropriate  to  embargo  the  release  until,  for  
example,  the  publication  of  financial  figures.  In  this  case,  a  simple  expression  such  as  'Not  to  be  used  before  
10:00  hours,  15  October'  must  be  included  at  the  top  of  the  document.  The  FATIMA  press  release  template  
has  already  been  prepared,  its  size  is  kept  to  one  side  of  an  A4  paper  and  it  contains  a  heading,  a  strong  
leading  paragraph  summarising  the  essential  facts,  the  main  body  of  the  story,  quotes,  some  background  
information,  and  contact  details  for  further  information.  
The   release   should   be   kept   to   one   side   of   an   A4   page   whenever   possible;   if   it   is   longer,   'more   follows'   must  
be   written   at   the   bottom   of   every   subsequent   page.   At   the   end   of   the   document,   make   sure   to   write   'End'.  
After   'End',   the   press   release   should   provide   the   name   of   at   least   one   person   whom   the   journalist   can  
contact   for   further   information.   Where   possible,   both   a   work   and   a   home   telephone   number   should   be  
provided.  
FATIMA  target  is  30  entries  at  European,  national,  regional  and  local  press  (printed  or  online)  describing  the  
goals  of  the  project  in  a  simple,  jargon-­‐free  language.  Whenever  possible,  press  releases  will  highlight  the  

   30  |  77  
D6.3  FATIMA  Dissemination  Strategy   27/11/2015   v0.5  

benefits   for   the   municipality/region/country   and   the   importance   of   the   local   partner   being   part   of   an   EU  
consortium.   All   press   releases   will   be   archived   and   will   be   available   to   the   public   through   the   project  
website.    
The  FATIMA  press  releases  will  be  disseminated  to  the  EC  Research  &  Innovation  website,  which  is  heavily  
involved   in   communicating   the   results   of   EU-­‐funded   research   to   the   media   and   the   general   public  
(http://ec.europa.eu/research/index.cfm?lg=en).   The   FATIMA   press   releases   may,   also,   be   submitted   in   the  
Community   Research   and   Development   Information   Service   (CORDIS)   Wire  
(http://cordis.europa.eu/news/home_en.html),   which   offers   to   journalists   the   ability   to   download   press  
releases  relevant  to  EU-­‐funded  research.    
AlphaGalileo   (http://www.alphagalileo.org/)  is   another   resource   for   European   research   news   which   the  
FATIMA  consortium  will  contact  so  that  it  publishes  FATIMA  press  releases.  Partner  DRAXIS  will  register  at  
the  website  as  a  contributor  in  order  to  have  the  right  to  post  press  releases,  event  information,  access  the  
address  book  and  view  the  complete  reference  library.    
Other  channels  through  which  the  FATIMA  press  releases  can  be  disseminated  are  the  press  office  of  the  
European   Environment   Agency   (http://www.eea.europa.eu/media#presscontact),   and   the   Digital   Agenda  
for  Europe  (http://ec.europa.eu/digital-­‐agenda/en).    
The   FATIMA   partners   are,   also,   encouraged   to   issue   press   releases   at   European   Commission’s  
representation  offices  of  their  countries  (http://ec.europa.eu/contact/local_offices_en.htm).  Moreover,  an  
indicative  list  of  national  and  local  media  for  potential  distribution  of  FATIMA  press  releases  is  presented  in  
ANNEX   E   –Mass   Media   and   News   Agencies.   The   list   can   be   further   enriched   during   the   course   of   the  
project.  

6.4 Scientific  publications  


It   is   expected   that   the   FATIMA   project   will   result   in   a   number   of   publications   in   scientific,   peer-­‐reviewed  
journals.  Project  partners  are  encouraged  to  collaborate  with  each  other  and  jointly  prepare  publications  
relevant   to   the   FATIMA   project.   Scientific   journals   that   provide   open   access   (OA)   to   all   their   publications  
will  be  preferred,  as  it  is  required  by  the  European  Commission.    
In  specific,  as  it  is  required  in  FATIMA  Grand  Agreement  article  29.2  “each  beneficiary  must  ensure  open  
access  (free  of  charge  online  access  for  any  user)  to  all  peer  reviewed  scientific  publications  relating  to  its  
results.   In   particular,   it   must:   a)   as   soon   as   possible   and   at   the   latest   on   publication,   deposit   a   machine-­‐
readable   electronic   copy   of   the   published   version   or   final   peer-­‐reviewed   manuscript   accepted   for  
publication  in  a  repository  for  scientific  publications.  Moreover,  the  beneficiary  must  aim  to  deposit  at  the  
same   time   the   research   data   needed   to   validate   the   results   presented   in   the   deposited   scientific  
publications,  b)  ensure  open  access  to  the  deposited  publication  —  via  the  repository  —  at  the  latest:  (i)  on  
publication,   if   an   electronic   version   is   available   for   free   via   the   publisher,   or   (ii)   within   six   months   of  
publication   (twelve   months   for   publications   in   the   social   sciences   and   humanities)   in   any   other   case,   and  
finally   c)   ensure   open   access   —   via   the   repository   —   to   the   bibliographic   metadata   that   identify   the  
deposited  publication.  
The  bibliographic  metadata  must  be  in  a  standard  format  and  must  include  all  of  the  following:  
-­‐  the  terms  "European  Union  (EU)"  and  "Horizon  2020";  
-­‐  the  name  of  the  action,  acronym  and  grant  number;  
-­‐  the  publication  date,  and  length  of  embargo  period  if  applicable,  and  
-­‐  a  persistent  identifier.  

   31  |  77  
D6.3  FATIMA  Dissemination  Strategy   27/11/2015   v0.5  

It   is   envisaged   that   a   project   scientific   committee   will   be   formed   among   project   partners   to   review  
publications  of  FATIMA  partners  before  submitting  them  to  the  journals.  The  same  committee  will  define  
the  process  of  publishing  after  the  end  of  the  project.  In  ANNEX  F  –  FATIMA  Relevant  Scientific  Journals  all  
the   potential   scientific   journal   that   can   be   used   for   publishing   are   presented   in   a   table.   The   list   can   be  
further  enriched  during  the  course  of  the  project.  

6.5 Participation  in  targeted  non-­‐project  events  


A   common   way   to   achieve   an   effective   dissemination   is   the   participation   of   FATIMA   project   partners   in  
targeted   non-­‐project   events   (events   not   organised   by   the   project)   where   FATIMA   project   as   whole   or  
specific   actions   and   results   of   it   can   be   presented.   These   events   can   include   scientific   conferences   and  
symposiums,  workshops  and  other  open  events  relevant  to  the  project  objectives.  By  participating  in  such  
events,   project   partners   will   be   able   to   promote   project   activities   and   outputs   beyond   partnership   and  
involved   territories.   However,   prior   to   any   participation   in   targeted   non-­‐project   events,   project   partners  
must  notify  the  project  board,  the  coordinator  (UCLM)  and  partner  DRAXIS  responsible  for  dissemination.  
This  notification  process  is  compulsory  for  dissemination  monitoring  and  evaluation  purposes.    

6.5.1 Scientific  conferences  

Scientific   conferences   and   symposiums   are   key   venues   to   present   new   scientific   knowledge   and  
methodologies  emerging  from  FATIMA  project.  Partners’  representatives  are  encouraged  to  participate  in  
major  conferences  of  relevant  fields  presenting  the  FATIMA  project  and  related  scientific  results.  If  a  poster  
is   included   in   the   participation,   it   must   follow   the   poster   template   of   the   project   and   other   visibility  
guidelines   related   to   source   of   funding   as   described   in   section   5.2.   A   detailed   list   of   conferences   and  
symposiums   relevant   to   FATIMA   project   is   available   in   ANNEX   G   –   Targeted   external   non-­‐project   events.  
The  list  will  be  updated  with  new  conferences  and  symposiums  during  the  whole  duration  of  the  project.    

6.5.2 Workshops  and  Open  events  

FATIMA   project   partners   are   encouraged   to   participate   in   key   workshops   in   the   fields   of   agriculture,  
precision   agriculture,   irrigation,   webGIS   solutions,   Earth   Observation   throughout   the   duration   of   the  
FATIMA   project   in   order   to   increase   the   project’s   visibility   and   build   the   FATIMA   contact   list   and   the  
Network   of   Interest.   Furthermore,   other   Open   Events  such   as   Agricultural   Fairs   or   Shows   will   be   also   useful  
means   to   disseminate   the   FATIMA   project   in   different   target   audiences   than   those   attended   workshops.  
Participation   in   Agricultural   fairs   to   be   held   in  FATIMA   pilot   countries  can   generate   excitement   and   interest  
in  the  project,  engage  related  stakeholders  and  find  potential  customers.    
All   partners   are   encouraged   to   inform   partner   DRAXIS   about   such   events   to   be   held   in   their   region.   A  
detailed   list   of   workshops   and   other   Open   events   relevant   to   FATIMA   project   is   available   in   ANNEX   G   –  
Targeted  external  non-­‐project  events.  The  list  will  be  updated  during  the  course  of  the  project.  
 

6.6 Actions  organized  by  FATIMA  


As  the  project  matures  and  further  results  become  available,  the   FATIMA  consortium  will  organise  selected  
dissemination  events  in  order  to  engage  further  external  stakeholders,  such  as  public  organisations,  NGOs,  
strategic  decision  makers,  policy  makers,  think  tanks,  scholars,  public  and  private  administrations  etc.  

   32  |  77  
D6.3  FATIMA  Dissemination  Strategy   27/11/2015   v0.5  

The  following  options  will  be  strategically  decided  and  integrated  with  the  sequence  of    Regional  Meetings,  
which  are  taking  place  in  each  pilot  area  every  six  months  and  which  normally  have  a  consortium-­‐internal  
part  as  well  as  a  stakeholder-­‐actors  part.  

6.6.1 FATIMA  workshops  and  pilot  open  days  

These   workshops   will   be   set   up   in   order   to   provide   an   overview   of   the   project   objectives   and   activities,  
present   and   discuss   the   results   of   the   project,   and   share   experiences   and   lessons   learned   to   local  
stakeholders   and   scientific   community.   The   workshops   will   be   organised   by   the   Regional   Managers   in  
coordination   and   collaboration   with   the   leader   of   WP6   and   particular   attention   will   be   paid   to   the  
participation  of  the  members  of  the  FATIMA  multi-­‐actor  community  platform.    
Initially,   emphasis   will   be   given   to   the   design   of   the   pilots,   while   at   later   stages   the   focus   will   be   on   the  
assessment  and  validation  of  the  results  of  the  operation  of  the  pilots.  
Prior   to   all   pilot   workshops,   a   co-­‐developing   of   local   dissemination   strategies   workshop   has   already  
implemented.  The  workshop  took  place  during  the  1st  plenary  meeting  of  FATIMA  project  in  Albacete,  Spain  
and   was   organized   by   DRAXIS   SA,   the   Lead   partner   of   WP6   -­‐   Market   consolidation,   dissemination,   and  
training  and  the  participants  were  all  partners  from  all  the  eight  pilot  areas  of  FATIMA  project.  
Furthermore  in  the  context  of  pilot  workshops  special  actions  for  women  and  families,  elementary  and  high  
schools  but  also  for  stakeholders  and  civil  society  will  be  organised.  

6.6.2 Scientific  workshops  and  policy  info  days  

Scientific-­‐technical   workshops   in   relevant   research   areas   can   serve   to   communicate   interim   and   final  
project   results,   and   help   validate   project   outcomes   in   cooperation   with   project   partners   and   the   respective  
scientific   and   academic   community.   Workshops   with   external   stakeholders   aim   to   facilitate   the   policy  
debate   around   the   various   means   and   mechanisms   that   could   be   applied   at   regional,   national   and  
European   level   to   reinforce   the   adoption   of   similar   patterns   and   practices.   More   specifically,   policy  
workshops  can  help  communicate  project  results  to  external  stakeholders  and  key  decision  makers,  while  
also  gathering  feedback  to  further  fine-­‐tune  FATIMA  research  context  (from  the  policy  point  of  view).    

6.7 Networking  and  Informal  person-­‐to-­‐person  meetings  


Networking   will   be   performed   through   the   participation   in   relevant   events   linked   to   the   project   theme,  
operating  by  all  project  partners  throughout  the  duration  of  the  project.  This  will  be  coupled  by  informal  
person-­‐to-­‐person   meetings   with   relevant   stakeholders.   These   are   additional   activities   to   the   project   events  
organized   in   FATIMA   for   dissemination   (i.e.   project   workshops)   and   other   purposes   (i.e.   multi-­‐actor  
community  meeting  in  WP1.1,  among  others).  

6.8  Collaboration  with  similar  projects/  initiatives  


The   consortium   will   network   with   other   relevant   initiatives   and   projects,   such   as   the   e-­‐Agriculture  
Community   (http://eagriculture.org)   and   the   Community   on   Agricultural   Policy   Implementation   and   Geo-­‐
Information   (CAPIGI,   www.capigi.eu).   The   e-­‐Agriculture   Community   is   a   global   community   of   practice  
where   people   exchange   information,   ideas   and   resources   related   to   the   use   of   ICT   for   sustainable  
agriculture  and  rural  development.  The  Community  counts  over  12,000  members  from  170  countries  and  
territories   worldwide,   among   which   there   are   researchers,   farmers,   policy   makers,   and   development

practitioners.  The  scope  of  this  network  is  to  improve  decision-­‐making  policies  concerning  the  vital  role  of  
ICTs  to  empower  rural  communities,  and  build  sustainable  agriculture  and  food  security.  
Making  and  maintaining  contact  with  other  projects  might  maximise  resources.  Even  if  only  FATIMA  project  
was   selected   under   the   call   “SFS-­‐02a-­‐2014:   External   nutrient   inputs”,   it   is   worth   finding   out   what   other  
projects  working  in  the  same  subject  area  or  around  the  same  topics  are  doing  and  then  approaching  them  
with   a   view   to   collaborating   since   such   a   contact   will   probably   improve   the   impact   of   dissemination   as   well  
as  reduce  overall  costs.  
Some  other  indicative  networks  are  presented  below:

7 Internal  communication  
This  Chapter  aims  to  define  the  internal  communication  guidelines  that  will  ensure:  
That  all  partners  have  access  to  the  same  information  at  the  same  time,  
That  information  is  equally  fast  transmitted  to  all  partners,  
That  the  rules  of  behaviour  are  obeyed,  
That  consistent  formats  and  communication  procedures  are  used,  
That   the   transmitted   information   minimises   overload,   is   fast   accessible   and   reduced   to   the  
essential.  

7.1 Document  Sharing  


For  fulfilling  the  need  of  accessing  and  sharing  materials  around  the  project,  FTP  storage  tool  will  be  used  
since   it   provides   plenty   of   useful   storage   space   for   project   partners   to   share   and   store   data   so   they   can  
work  together  from  anywhere.  FTP  access  credentials  are  available  in  the  Partners  area  of  the  website.    
In   order   for   the   FTP   to   be   as   useful   and   navigable   as   possible   all   partners   who   have   access   to   the   folder  
should  follow  the  following  guidelines:  

   34  |  77  
D6.3  FATIMA  Dissemination  Strategy   27/11/2015   v0.5  

Documents   must   be   filed   under   the   appropriate   Work   package.   A   top-­‐level   folder   has   been  
established  for  each  Work  Package  and  existing  materials  have  been,  where  possible,  reorganized  
into  this  structure.  
Documents  must  be  filed  under  the  specific  appropriate  deliverables.  
Any  file  or  document  deposited  in  FTP  must  include  the  date,  version  and  author  details  for  version  
tracking.  
Documents  must  be  named  in  a  consistent  way  that  indicates  date  and  version.  
Furthermore   as   stated   above   the   FATIMA   Website   partners   are   contains   the   Document   Revisions  
WordPress   plugin5  that   can   be   used   in   order   to   enable   the   project   partners   to   collaborate   on   documents  
while  allowing  document  version  control.  
Finally,   for   further   document   storage   and   co-­‐authoring,   partners   are   free   to   use   any   of   the   commercially  
available   such   as   Dropbox,   Google   Drive   or   Microsoft   Cloud   after   checking   compatibility   with   the   IT  
departments  of  their  institutions.  

7.2 Chat,  instant  messaging,  conference  calls  


For   fulfilling   the   communication   needs   among   project   partners   the   use   of   Skype   is   recommended.   Skype  
can  be  used  for  chat,  instant  messaging  communications  and  for  conference  calls  since  it  is  already  being  
widely  used  across  the  project  to  connect  partners  who  are  widely  geographically  spread.  
Additional   conference   call   facilities   will   depend   on   each   partner   and   it   is   therefore   up   to   individual   Work  
Package   leaders   to   ensure   that   their   choices   of   real-­‐time   communication   tools   are   appropriate   and  
accessible  to  all  attendees  of  their  meetings/virtual  meetings.  Additional  tools  such  as  WebEx  or  Google+  
Hangouts  will  be  used  if  needed.  

7.3 E-­‐mail  communication  


A  mailing  list  for  the  internal  communication  between  the  project  partners  has  already  been  created.  This  
Chapter  further  defines  the  internal  communication  guidelines  through  the  FATIMA  mailing  list  as  follows:

D6.3  FATIMA  Dissemination  Strategy   27/11/2015   v0.5  

For  contacting  all  partners  at  once,  a  mailing  list  has  been  created.  
The   mailing   list   will   be   maintained   and   updated   if   needed   by   the   project   coordinator   and   the  
partners   responsible   for   Dissemination.   All   changes   of   the   mailing   list   must   be   sent   to   the  
coordinator  who  will  adapt  the  list  as  soon  as  possible.  
To   ensure   high   and   continuous   coverage   when   distributing   information   it   is   highly   recommended  
that  partners  use  this  mailing  list.  
The  e-­‐mail  subject  should  be  clearly  marked;  ideally,  all  e-­‐mails  concerning  FATIMA  shall  start  with  
“FATIMA”  in  the  subject,  followed  by  the  topic.  
Partners  should  refrain  from  sending  large  files  via  e-­‐mail  but  rather  use  the  documenting  sharing  
means  that  will  be  agreed  in  order  to  upload  the  file  and  send  out  only  a  text  e-­‐mail  to  the  target  
group  with  the  notification  about  the  new  content.  
All  partners  have  to  be  aware  of  computer  viruses.  
The  email  list  is  being  hosted  and  is  available  in  the  Partners  area  of  the  project  website.  

8 Project  partners’  role  in  dissemination  


The   FATIMA   consortium   consists   of   partners   with   significant   links   with   stakeholders   that   have   potential  
interest  to  the  project  and  with  experience  in  disseminating  similar  activities.  All  project  partners  are  in  a  
strong  position  to  develop  an  effective  “personal”  dissemination  strategy,  building  on  key  existing  channels.  
These  channels  and  links  will  provide  direct  access  to  the  target  groups  and  will  act  as  core  channels  that  
will   support   the   project’s   sustainability   and   its   effective   exit   strategy.   The   responsibilities   of   each   project  
partner  for  the  dissemination  of  FATIMA,  they  are  summarized  in  the  following  table:

9 Dissemination  Strategy  monitoring,  reporting  and  


evaluation  
To   ensure   accurate   monitoring   and   reporting   of   dissemination   activities,   FATIMA   deliverables   include   a  
number   of   reports   linked   to   dissemination   activities.   The   WP6   leader   will   be   responsible   for   drafting   the  
content   of   these   reports,   in   collaboration   with   Project   coordinator   UCLM   and   partner   UTAEM.   The  
following   sections   outline   the   FATIMA   reporting   schedule,   as   well   as   the   requirements   for   individual  
partners   to   provide   information   on   their   own   dissemination   activities.   The   reporting   schedule   for   the  
formal  FATIMA  dissemination  deliverables  is  as  follows:  
Table  5:  WP6  deliverables  schedule  

Time   Deliverable  name  


M6   D6.4  Project  Website  and  Dissemination  Material  
M9   D6.3  FATIMA  Dissemination  Strategy  
M18,  32   D6.5  FATIMA  Training  Strategy  &  Material  
M18,  36   D6.6  Gender  Action  Report  
As   mentioned   above,   the   leader   of   WP6   will   be   in   charge   of   the   overall   monitoring   of   all   dissemination  
activities  and  will  report  to  the  project  coordinator  in  case  of  any  problem.  However,  each  partner  will  be  in  
charge   of   locally   monitoring   its   own   dissemination   activity   and   reporting   the   progress   and   pitfalls   to   the  
WP6   leader.   All   partners   are   responsible   for   liaising   with   national   and   local   media   for   dissemination  
purposes,  and  for  ensuring  that  they  engage  enough  stakeholders  to  properly  enlarge  the  community.  Each  
partner   has   already   nominated   a   dissemination   contact   point   who   will   send   the   following   to   the   WP6  
leader  on  a  regular  basis  (i.e.  whenever  there  are  activities  to  report  on,  at  latest  a  week  after  the  activity):  
A   description   of   all   dissemination   publications   published   or   posted   by   project   partner   or   other  
organisations,   using   the   template   for   monitoring   dissemination   activities   in   Annex   H1   Template   for  
Reporting  Dissemination  Publications  
A  description  of  all  dissemination  events  held  using  the  template  for  dissemination  events  in  Annex  
H2  Template  for  Reporting  Dissemination  Events.  
To  facilitate  reporting,  these  templates  have  been  designed  to  be  as  simple  and  easy  to  fill  in  as  possible.  
The  WP6  leader  stresses  the  importance  of  receiving  this  information  to  allow  the  accurate  monitoring  and  
adjustment  of  dissemination  activities  as  necessary.  Moreover,  all  project  partners  are  asked  to  send  to  the  
WP6  leader  any  photocopy,  print-­‐out,  photo,  link,  screenshot,  etc.  relevant  to  the  project  whenever  they  
find  them.  
Regarding  the  evaluation  of  FATIMA  dissemination  activities,  a  specific  ongoing  evaluation  procedure  will  
be   executed   so   that   the   impact   of   the   dissemination   strategy   can   be   measured   in   all   the   project   phases  
from   its   very   beginning   to   its   end.   The   main   issues   that   will   be   evaluated   are   the   quality   of   the  
dissemination   tools   and   activities,   and   the   impact   of   the   dissemination   activities   on   the   target   groups  
defined  by  the  project,  emphasizing  on  the  impact  of  the  project  on  FATIMA  related  stakeholders.  
As   described   in   the   following   chapter,   the   achievement   of   the   objectives   of   the   FATIMA   dissemination  
strategy   will   be   evaluated   by   assessing   the   dissemination   impact   indicators   in   comparison   with   the  
predefined   target   values.   Regular   updates   of   the   project   achievements   will   be   communicated,   including  

   37  |  77  
D6.3  FATIMA  Dissemination  Strategy   27/11/2015   v0.5  

results  (presentations,  press  releases,  participation  in  events,  etc.)  which  will  be  highlighted  on  the  FATIMA  
website,  social  media  groups/accounts,  etc.  
For  each  of  the  dissemination  activities,  one  or  more  measurement  or  feedback  mechanisms  will  be  used  to  
measure  the  effectiveness  of  the  dissemination.  Indicatively:  
Website:  Setup  Google  Analytics  and  measure  the  number  of  visitor/  traffic  to  the  website/  amount  
of  time  spent  on  the  site  and  all  the  rest  of  the  available  variables  
Facebook:  Number  of  “likes”  in  project  page  
LinkedIn,  Twitter,  Google+,  YouTube:  Number  of  group  memberships

Non-­‐project   events:   Number   of   non-­‐project   events   in   which   FATIMA   is   presented;   number   of  
participants  
Newsletter:  Number  of  newsletters  promoted;  number  of  subscribed  people  
Project  printed  material:  Distribution  rate  versus  website  traffic  
Publications:  Number  of  publications  and  audience  per  publication;  traffic  rate  on  the  website  
Press   releases/   articles:   Coverage   (number   of   media),   frequency   (positive   or   negative   media  
evaluation),  level  of  involvement  of  news  agencies  in  dissemination  
Network  of  Interest:  Number  of  stakeholders  registered  
Other  initiatives:  Level  of  collaboration  with  other  similar  initiatives;  number  of  joint  events.  

10  Dissemination  Impact  Indicators    


Impact   with   regard   to   dissemination   and   exploitation   can   help   partners   to   understand   the   reach   and  
sustainability  of  the  project’s  results.  Furthermore,  the  impact  can  also  be  used  to  measure  and  assess  the  
promotion   activities   in   terms   of   their   relevance,   quality,   and   promotion   channel.   Both   quantitative   and  
qualitative  will  be  used  to  monitor  the  impact  of  dissemination  activities.  Some  of  the  proposed  indicators  
are  included  in  the  table  below:

12  Conclusion  
Through   the   implementation   of   this   Dissemination   Strategy,   FATIMA   will   maximise   its   impact   to   the  
agricultural  world  and  policy  makers  across  Europe.  Its  impact  depends  on  the  successful  configuration  of  
the   implementation   of   the   pilot   projects.   As   the   project   evolves,   the   Dissemination   Strategy   will   be  
adjusted  to  match  the  results  and  impacts  of  the  project.

ANNEX  A  –  Project  Partners  

A.1  UNIVERSIDAD  DE  CASTILLA  -­‐  LA  MANCHA  (UCLM)  


The  Instituto  de  Desarrollo  Regional  (IDR)  is  an  RTD  centre  belonging  to  the  higher  education  and  research  
entity   of   Universidad   de   Castilla   –   La   Mancha   (UCLM).   Th   Remote   Sensing   and   GIS   Section   (Sección   de  
Teledetección  y  S.I.G.),  participates  in  FATIMA  project  as  coordinator  and  as  a  research  partner.  The  team  
brings   accumulated   expertise   gained   since   1996   on   Remote   Sensing   and   GIS   based   methods   for   agro-­‐
environmental   modelling,   crop   classification   and   mapping   techniques,   evapotranspiration,   water   balance  
and  crop  growth  monitoring  by  using  time  series  of  EO  images.  This  expertise  has  been  achieved  through  
the  participation  in  numerous  national  and  international  research  projects,  and  through  the  collaboration  
with  other  important  research  centres  in  Europe.  IDR-­‐UCLM  has  been  collaborating  for  over  fifteen  years  
with   farmers,   Water   Use   Associations   and   authorities   to   achieve   an   optimum   water   management   in  
irrigated   areas   by   using   EO.   This   collaboration   has   led   to   an   operational   EO-­‐based   service   for   irrigation  
water   management,   paid   by   the   users   jointly   with   the   regional   government   and   the   river-­‐basin   authority  
(project  ERMOT,  renewed  annually).  

A.2  INSTITUTO  TECNICO  AGRONOMICO  PROVINCIAL  SA  


(ITAP)  
The   ITAP   is   an   institute   belonging   to   the   Provincial   Council   of   Albacete.   It   is   responsible   for   the   effective  
management   of   Investigation   and   Experimentation   Agrifood   Services   and   especially   concerning   the  
planning   and   management   of   water   for   irrigation.   In   1988,   ITAP   created   the   Irrigation   Advisory   Service  
(SAR)   with   the   main   objective   of   development,   support   and   management   irrigation   of   the   Mancha   Oriental  
y   el   Alto   Segura   (150.000   ha).   In   1990,   ITAP   launched   the   Fertilization   Advisory   Service,   (SAF)   to   help  
farmers   and   technicians   on   fertilization   related   to   criteria   of   productivity   and   quality,   all   based   on   the  
evaluation   of   the   potential   of   the   crop   capacity   and   under   technical,   socioeconomic   and   environmental  
restrictions   imposed   by   each   particular   situation.   Within   the   area   of   Research   and   Development,   the  
Section   of   Remote   Sensing   and   GIS   participates   in   various   projects   aimed   at   setting   their   water   needs   by  
remote  sensing  (field  and  satellite  radiometry).  

A.3  ALIARA  AGRÍCOLA  SL  (ALIARA)  


Aliara  Agrícola  S.L.,  is  an  SME  which  has  been  providing  agronomic  advice  to  farmers  in  Castilla-­‐La  Mancha  
region   for   more   than   ten   years.   AA   has   focused   in   new   technologies   such   as   in-­‐field   sensors   and   remote  
sensing,   as   farm   management   decision   support   tools.   At   present,   AA   is   involved   in   the   agronomic  
management   of   several   thousand   hectares   in   a   wide   range   of   farms,   rain   feed   and   irrigated.   Aliara   Agrícola

each  one  of  the  Local  Dissemination  Strategies  in  the  pilot  areas.  The  Local  Dissemination  Strategy  outline  
is   ensuring,   on   the   one   hand,   a   common   approach   of   the   use   of   the   dissemination   activities   and   tools,  
while,  on  the  other  hand,  is  providing  the  conditions  for  the  necessary  specialization  on  each  distinct  area.  
For  this  to  be  realised,  a  4-­‐phase  approach  is  being  outlined,  aiming  to  engage  all  the  involved  parties  on  
local   level   in   order   to   implement   the   Dissemination   Strategy,   based   on   the   specific   needs   and   conditions   of  
each  area.      
As   already   mentioned   a   co-­‐developing   of   local   dissemination   strategies   workshop   has   already  
implemented.   The   workshop   took   place   during   the   1st   Plenary   Meeting   of   FATIMA   project   during   7-­‐9  
October   2015   in   Albacete,   Spain   and   was   organized   by   DRAXIS   SA,   the   Lead   partner   of   WP6   -­‐   Market  
consolidation,   dissemination,   and   training   and   the   participants   were   all   partners   from   all   the   eight   pilot  
areas   of   FATIMA   project.   During   the   workshop   Regional   Partners   from   pilot   countries   discussed   and  
designed  together  their  local  dissemination  strategies.  

B.0.1  Local  Dissemination  Strategy  phases  

Local   dissemination   strategies   are   structured   in   four   distinct   phases   in   order   to   make   use   of   a   variety   of  
activities   and   tools.   Using   distinct   channels   through   a   circular   flow   of   4   dissemination   streams,   the   local  
dissemination  strategy  aims  to  combine  global  knowledge  and  expertise  with  local  first-­‐hand  experience,  in  
creating  local  action  motivation,  in  order  to  raise  awareness  and  enhance  participation.  
1st  Phase:  Commitment  of  the  Multi-­‐actor  community  platform  
During   the   first   phase,   the   project   partners   who   are   responsible   for   the   implementation   of   the   local  
dissemination  strategy  make  use  of  the  project’s  communication  tools  and  channels  to  ensure  commitment  
of   experts   from   related   fields   with   high-­‐level   of   knowledge   and   experience   in   precision   agriculture.   The  
objective  is  to  form  a  Multi-­‐actor  platform  in  order  to  act  as  a  main  dissemination  pole  to  the  next  phase.    
2nd  Phase:  Knowledge  exchange  
During  the  second  phase  the  project,  partners  together  with  the  Multi-­‐actor  community  platform  provide  
the   necessary   knowledge   dissemination   towards   the   most   interested   and   active   parties   on   local   level.  
Through   a   number   of   interactive   information   and   knowledge   exchange   events   (workshops   etc.)   targeted  to  
local   stakeholders   including   local   authorities   and   business   bodies   and   other   stakeholders   concerned   on  
local   level   (journalists,   local   media,   etc.),   knowledge   and   experience   is   being   exchanged,   with   the   objective  
to  build  synergies  in  order  to  co-­‐organise  participatory  targeted  events.  
3rd  Phase:  Action  motivation  
During  the  third  phase  a  set  of  participatory  events  will  be  organised  jointly  by  the  project  partners  with  the  
interested  parties  from  the  2nd  phase.  The  activities  will  be  especially  targeted  to  enhance  participation  of  
stakeholders   from   local   level,   disseminating   the   projects   objectives   towards   them,   while   providing   them  
with   the   appropriate   tools   and   motivate   them   to   participate   actively   in   the   activities   of   the   project   in   order  
to   communicate   their   own   message   to   the   parties   concerned   (local   authorities,   policy   making   bodies,   etc.).

D6.3  FATIMA  Dissemination  Strategy   27/11/2015   v0.5  

At   the   same   time,   the   results   of   the   participatory   events   will   provide   useful   experience   data   for   experts  
(Network  of  Interest)  in  order  to  expand  and  assess  the  current  knowledge  and  disseminate  the  project’s  
outcomes.  
4th  Phase:  Feedback  and  Dissemination  
The   fourth   phase   includes   all   dissemination   streams   that   will   result   from   the   experience   gained   by   the   first  
three  phases.  All  the  above  concerned  parties  (project  partners,  field  experts,  local  stakeholders  etc.)  will  
make  use  and  exploit    the  experience  from  the  dissemination  activities  (information  events,  participatory  
events),   as   means   of   communicating   themselves   and   creating   a   positive   pressure   stream   towards   the  
stakeholders  concerned  with  policy  making  and  environmental  policy,  on  local  and  global  level.  
The   project’s   outputs   from   the   4th   phase   will   be   publications   and   mass   media   entries,   newsletters   and  
information  and  publicity  activities  (e.g.  participation  in  events,  public  presentations,  etc.)  aiming  to  diffuse  
the  knowledge  and  experience  gained,  targeted  to  all  concerned  parties  on  local  and  global  level  (academia  
&   experts,   policy   making   stakeholders,   local   authorities,   NGOs,   etc.).   Furthermore,   all   the   participating  
parties  are  expected  to  act  as  multipliers  of  the  project’s  outcomes,  using  the  tools  provided,  in  creatively  
expressing   and   communicating   themselves   in   the   public   sphere,   creating   further   dissemination   streams  
towards  the  targeted  audiences.  

B.1  La  Mancha  Oriental  

B.1.1  Current  situation  

The  Mancha  Oriental  area  is  characterized  by  having  a  relatively  flat  surface  with  an  average  height  of  650  
m.   It   is   located   in   the   South-­‐East   of   the   Iberian   Peninsula,   at   39.7N-­‐38.6N   and   2.53W-­‐0.9W,   in   the   Jucar  
River  Basin.  It  occupies  about  10.000  km²  of  which  more  than  500.000  ha  are  devoted  to  agriculture.  
It   has   a   semi-­‐arid   climate   with   an   annual   precipitation   below   350   mm   and   an   evapotranspiration   above  
1200  mm.  Its  main  characteristic  is  a  high  variation  between  seasons  and  between  years,  according  to  the  
Mediterranean-­‐Continental   type.   The   averages   temperatures   vary   between   5   ºC   on   January   to   24   ºC   on  
July.  The  oscillation  between  dry  and  wet  years  ranges  from  124  mm  to  750  mm.  
 The   total   population   is   close   to   400.000   people   and   the   biggest   settlement   are   Albacete   (170.000  
inhabitants)  and  La  Roda  (16.000  inhabitants).    
The   soil   is   shallow   with   limestone   bedrock.   It   is   highly   variable   with   sandy   loam,   loam   and   clay   loam  
texture,  often  stony  but  easy  to  cultivate  and  quite  fertile  under  appropriate  agronomic  management.    
The  area  features  mainly  medium  to  large  farms  with  70%  of  the  farms  being  larger  than  100  ha.  Around  
10%  of  the  farms  practice  organic  agriculture  and  7,5%  conservation  agriculture.    
Dominant  crops  cultivated  in  the  area  are  presented  in  the  table  below.

The  water  for  irrigation  is  mainly  supplied  by  groundwater  (93%).  Agriculture  is  the  largest  water  consumer  
summing   up   to   95%   of   the   water   demand,   with   a   share   of   89%   of   the   supplied   water   being   used   by  
individual   farmers   and   6%   by   water   user   associations.   Regarding   irrigation   technology   only   pressurized  
systems  are  used,  in  annual  crops:  central  pivot  (75%)  and  other  sprinkler  systems  (25%),  in  woody  crops:  
drip  irrigation  (100%).  
The  Mancha  Oriental  Aquifer  is  a  large  groundwater  body  that  is  connected  to  the  Jucar  River  in  terms  of  
drainage   and   recharge.   The   groundwater   level   lies   at   a   depth   of   60-­‐200   m.     The   aquifer   is   threatened   by  
over-­‐extraction  and  features  no  “good  status”  as  defined  in  the  EU  Water  Framework  Directive.  The  biggest  
part  of  the  area  is  designated  Nitrogen  Vulnerable  Zone,  the  amount  of  applied  nitrogen  is  restricted.  
The   major   problems   identified   in   the   area   related   to   agriculture   are   the   increased   energy   cost   for   pumping  
water,  the  need  balance  between  quality  against  quantity,  the  fact  that  sustainable  agriculture  not  used  in  
big  farms,  low  crop  yields,  the  Unpredictability  of  rainfall  and  the  variability  of  product  process.  
The  main  challenges  identified  are:  
Aquifer  depletion.  
Nitrate  aquifer  pollution.  
Increased  energy  cost  for  pumping  water.  
Predominance  of  low  added-­‐value  crops.  
High  volatility  of  commodities  price.  
Soil  degradation  and  desertification.  
Irrigated  crops  CO2  balance  

B.1.2  Target  audiences  

Farmers:   The   type   of   technology   developed   by   FATIMA   is   only   suitable   for   the   most   innovative  
sector,  so  in  the  first  phase  communication  effort  should  focus  on  the  quality  and  not  the  quantity  of  
the   audience,   without   underestimating   the   possibility   of   reaching   a   wider   audience   but   less  
receptive.  Farmers  need  to  be  confident  with  new  technologies  because  cultivation  routines  can  be  
done   in   another   way.   They   should   be   involved   in   the   process.   Also   young   farmers,   who   are   lacking   in  
the   region,   under   setting   up   process   are   also   considered,   in   this   case   personal   from   FATIMA   can   take  
advantage   of   training   courses   organized   by   local   authorities   participating   in   the   program   definition  
and  teaching.    
• Current   farmers:   first   phase   15   (12   male,   3   females)   “innovative   leaders”,   already   identified   in  
Spanish   Pilot   Area.   Second   phase,   several   hundred   (most   of   them   male)   in   the   pilot   area   and  
beyond  in  cooperation  with  agribusiness  partners  (see  below)  
• Setting  up  young  farmers:  80  (fifty-­‐fifty).  
Agribusiness:   big   cooperatives,   inputs   and   machinery   companies   are   in   need   of   innovations   to  
convey  to  their   customers  an  attractive  message  tied  to  its  products  able  to  create  value  and  loyalty.  
In   many   cases   the   FATIMA   final   services   and   products   fit   in   their   approach,   with   the   additional  
advantage   to   be   supported   by   prestigious   universities   and   research   centers.   Therefore   it   can   be  

   51  |  77  
D6.3  FATIMA  Dissemination  Strategy   27/11/2015   v0.5  

stated   with   some   of   them   some   kind   of   collaboration   that   contributes   to   the   dissemination   of   the  
achievements  of  the  FATIMA  project.  
• Big  cooperatives:  4  regional.  
• Fertilizer  companies:  2  national  companies.  
• Irrigation  equipment  companies:  3  local  enterprises.  
• Crop   protection   and   seeds   companies:   4   multinationals   and   their   commercial   network   of  
distributors  and  retailers  all  over  Spain.  
Policy  makers  and  other  authorities:  people  of  political  and  administrative  relevance  to  be  informed  
on   the   progress   in   technology   and   agricultural   knowledge   aimed   at   optimizing   agricultural   inputs.  
They  can  create  favorable  scenario  where  these  initiatives  can  grow  and  develop  with  the  implication  
of   all   agriculture   agents.   Become   believers   (really   ones)   or   new   tools   for   water   management   and  
nutrients.  
• Policy  makers:  Farmers  Unions  (2),  Delegate  of  the  regional  government  (1),  regional  government  
Minister  (1),  Albacete  Councilor  (1).  
• Other  authorities:  President  of  Jucar  river  basin  (1),  President  of  “Junta  Central  de  Regantes  de  La  
Mancha  Oriental”  (main  water  users  association)  (1).  
Students   from   agricultural   institutes   and   university:   in   the   pilot   area   there   are   several   agronomic  
study   centers   where   any   new   and   complementary   contribution   to   the   official   program   will   always   be  
welcome,  in  this  regard  the  issues  addressed  by  FATIMA  could  be  of  interest  to  students.  
• University  of  Castilla  La  Mancha  School  of  Agronomic:  30  students.    
• Center  of  Professional  Studies  of  Aguas  Nuevas:  20  students.  
Consumers   and   general   public:  public  opinion  in  Spanish  Pilot  Area,  despite  living  in  an  agricultural  
environment,   has   a   great   lack   of   understanding   and   generally   perceived   farmers   as   pollutants   and  
destroyers   of   the   environment.   In   this   regard,   it   is   particularly   important   to   communicate   the  
research   and   technology   transfer   efforts   are   being   done   in   FATIMA   project   to   improve   agricultural  
resource  management  from  a  sustainability  point  of  view.  
• General  Public:  several  thousand.  
• Environmentalist  NGOs:  2  organizations,  a  hundred  of  members.

B.2  Piana  di  Tarquinia  (Lazio)  

B.2.1  Current  situation  

The   Italian   pilot   area,   “Piana   di   Tarquinia”,   is   located   inside   the   “Maremma   Etrusca”   Water   User  
Associations,  near  the  city  of  Tarquinia,  in  the  Lazio  Region,  less  than  90km  from  Rome.  
It’s  a  plain  area  characterized  by  tourism  and  agriculture  activities.  The  Etruscan  cemetery  of  Tarquinia  is  an    
UNESCO  World  Heritage  list  from  2004;  the  agriculture  of  the  area  is  intensive  and  various  with  a  range  of  
irrigated  and  rainfed  productions  mainly  tomatoes,  vegetables,  durum  wheat,  vineyard.  
For  irrigated  production,  the   Marta   river   is   the   main   source   of  water,  strongly  regulated  through   a  network  
of   channels   and   dams   designed   to   guarantee   water   supply.   Better   irrigation   and   nutrient   efficiency   is  
however  necessary  to  improve  farming  system  profitability,  overcome  pressures  on  resources  and  preserve  
environmental  and  water  quality  in  aquifers.    
The   typical   problems   of   the   area   are   due   to   groundwater   pollution   and   water   management.   Both   in   quality  
than  in  quantity  perspective.  As  a  matter  of  fact  the  area  has  been  identified  as  nitrates  vulnerable  zone  
(EU   Nitrates).   FATIMA   project   will   tackle   these   problems   by   providing   fertilizer   and   water   management  
recommendation  to  both  farmers  and  institutional  stakeholders.  

   53  |  77  
D6.3  FATIMA  Dissemination  Strategy   27/11/2015   v0.5  

Further   reported   problems   by   the   farmers   are   uncertainty   for   the   future,   high   costs   of   production  
especially  due  to  water  costs,  the  fear  the  old  Etruscan  way  of  would  not  be  inherited  by  young  people  and  
ground  water  pollution.  

B.2.2  Target  audiences  

Target  audiences  in  pilot  area  are:  


Farmers:  Components  of  water  basin  management.  
Citizens:  tourists-­‐consumers,  tourists  who  are  users  of  archeological  area  and  seaside  infrastructure.  
Students:  primary  for  environmental  feeling  and  from  agricultural  institutes  for  new  technology  and  
management.  
Policy   makers:   Authority   of   water   basin   management,   local   and   regional   authority,   river   basin  
management  authority    

B.2.3  Specialization  of  the  strategy  

Specialization   of   the   strategy   in   Piana   di   Tarquinia   will   follow   the   same   pattern   as   in   the   Spanish   pilot.  
Additional  specialization  will  be  provided  during  the  course  of  the  project.  
Local   champions:   Charismatic,   aware   of   the   risk   but   ready   to   face   the   challenges,   curious   of   new  
technology,   involve   in   the   local   community   association   to   help   other   farmers   of   the   territory,   respect   for  
the   environment,   he   loves   his   soil   and   he   wants   to   evaluate   his   own   soil   even   though   he   is   open   to  
technology.  He  is  a  risk  taker.  He  is  a  hunter,  president  of  the  water  association,  charismatic.  
Slogan:   1   From   Space   to   Soil   –   Going   to   the   future/   2.   Classical   heritage   and   technological   future   –   Satellite  
will   change   farming   /   3.   FATIMA   –   The   new   agricultural   secrets/   From   past   to   the   future   –   Satellite   will  
change  Farming  /  From  classical  heritage  to  technological  future  

B.3  Thessaly  

B.3.1  Current  situation  

Pinios  river  basin  -­‐  General  Description    


The   Pinios   River   Basin   is   located   in   Thessalia   in   central   Greece,   covering   an   area   of   10.500   km²   of   which  
450.000   ha   are   agricultural   land   (36%)   and   forests   (19%).   It   is   considered   to   be   the   principal   agricultural  
region   of   Greece,   as   its   plain   is   the   most   intensely   cultivated   and   productive   agricultural   area   in   the  
country.   The   economy   of   the   Thessaly   region   depends   strongly   on   agriculture   as   a   relatively   high  
percentage  of  the  population  is  partly  or  fully  employed  in  agriculture.  The  capital  of  the  region  is  Larissa  
with  180.000  inhabitants  and  other  major  cities  are  Trikala  and  Karditsa.  
The  climate  of  Pinios  river  basin  is  continental  at  the  western  and  central  side  and  Mediterranean  at  the  
eastern   side.   Winters   are   cold   and   wet   and   summers   are   hot   and   dry   with   large   temperature   variation  
between  these  two  seasons.  Mean  annual  precipitation   over  the  Thessaly  region  is  about  700  mm  and  it  is  
distributed  irregularly  in  space  and  time.  The  mean  annual  precipitation  varies  from  about  400  mm  at  the  
central  plain  area  to  more  than  1850  mm  at  the  western  mountainous  areas.  Generally,  rainfall  is  rare  from  
June   to   August.   Mountainous   areas   receive   significant   amounts   of   snow   during   the   winter   months   and  
transient  snowpacks  are  developed.    

   54  |  77  
D6.3  FATIMA  Dissemination  Strategy   27/11/2015   v0.5  

The   landscape   is   characterized   by   the   intensive   agriculture   in   the   plain.   Fertile   soils   in   general   with   low  
organic  matter  concentrations  receive  large  amounts  of  fertilizers  uniformly  independently  on  the  spatial  
soil   variation.   Around   55%   of   the   agricultural   land   is   irrigated.   Usually,   the   dry   periods   are   accompanied  
with   high   temperatures,   which   lead   to   higher   evapotranspiration   rates   and   dry   soils.   These   conditions  
inversely   affect   both   the   natural   vegetation   and   the   agriculture   of   the   region   resulting   in   irrigation  
cutbacks,  overexploitation  of  groundwater  and  significant  losses  of  crop  yields.  
Agriculture   is   by   far   the   main   water   consumer   representing   the   90-­‐95%   of   the   annual   water   demand   of   the  
area,  with  irrigated  land  covering  half  of  the  total  cultivated  area.  There  is  limited  availability  of  irrigation  
water  during  the  summer  growing  season  leading  to  water  over  exploitation  and  illegal  drillings.  Depletion  
of  ground  water  levels  increases  cost  of  irrigation.    
In   general   soils   have   low   organic   matter   concentrations   (<1.8%)   that   influence   both   productivity   and  
resilience.   Fertilizers   and   pesticides   are   uniformly   and   excessively   applied   independently   on   soil   spatial  
variability.   Soil   degradation   coupled   with   the   climatic   characteristics   and   the   pressure   of   intensive  
agriculture  has  led  some  areas  in  Pinios  river  basin  at  the  final  stage  of  desertification,    which    highlights  the  
delicate  balance  and  interdependence  between  people  and  the  environment.    
Small  size  of  the  farms  (around  5  ha  in  average)  and  single  plots  (1ha)  constitute  major  obstacles  for  the  
design  of  sustainable  farming  systems.  
Excessive   pumping,   and   inefficient   irrigation   coupled   with   soil   mismanagement   on   the   farm   level,  
endangers  not  only  the  fragile  ecosystem  of  Pinios  River  Basin  but  also  the  economy  of  the  Thessaly  plain  
and  the  wellbeing  of  the  local  society.  
Other   problems   defined   during   workshop   are   the   lack   of   water   resources,   the   low   educational   level   of  
farmers   but   they   have   experience,   lack   of   environmental   sensibility   (Crop   yield   maximization),   lack   of  
infrastructure  and  lack  of  state  support,  high  production  costs,  high  fluctuation  in  agricultural  production,  
too  much  privatization  of  the  agricultural  sector,  salty  soils,  bad  drainage  that  causes  damages  to  houses  
and  strong  winds.  

B.3.2  Target  audiences  

Farmers:     Especially   new   farmers   that   could   have   an   interest   in   new   technologies   and   are   susceptible   in  
new  mentalities  regarding  soil  and  water  management.    Although  most  of  farmers  are  aware  of  the  water  
scarcity   problem   and   soil   management   issues   in   the   Pinios   River   Basin,   they   should   be   better   informed  
about   the   impacts   of   water   /soil   resource   deteriorations   and   the   methods   of   saving   costs   with   effective  
irrigation  and  fertilization  practices.  Fatima  proposed  fertilization  strategy  that  takes  in  to  account  spatial  
variability  of  fertilization  needs  in  the  Greek  pilots  has  to  highlight  both  to  the  environmental  and  economic  
viability.            
Policy  makers:  The  challenge  has  to  be  of  a  long-­‐term  strategy  which  does  not  sacrifice  the  viability  of  the  
environment  and  the  society  that  depends  on  it  on  the  altar  of  quick  profit  and  make  shift  solutions.  What  
is   of   the   essence   is   a   long   term   strategy   that   regards   water/soil   resources   as   a   unity   and   respects   the  
capacities  and  timing  of  nature.  Fatima  tools  for  efficient  fertilization  at  farm  level  has  to  be  included  in  the  
long  term  design  of  agriculture  systems  and  promoted  by  appropriate  policies.      
Local   Agribusiness:   The   economic   feasibility   of   FATIMA   tools   in   Greek   pilots   is   the   key   feature   for   the  
promotion  of  them  from  local  agribusiness  that  constitutes  the  link  with  local  agriculture  community.    
Citizens   (consumers):  Citizens  have  to  realize  the  environmental  benefits  of  this  FATIMA  project,  which  also  
reduces  the  production  costs  leading  to  regional  economic  development.

D6.3  FATIMA  Dissemination  Strategy   27/11/2015   v0.5  

B.3.3  Specialization  of  the  strategy  

Greek  pilot  experiments  are  conducted  in  farms  managed  by  agronomists  farmers:    
Giorgos  Samaras  for  cotton  and  corn  experiments.    
Nikolaos  Tserlikakis  for    the  wheat  experiments.        
Summer   2015   and   winter   2015-­‐2016   experiments   has   already   became   known   in   the   local   community   of  
“Platykampos”   and   “Nea   Lefki”   respectively.   Informal   talks   with   local   farmers   about   the   Fatima   new  
fertilization  strategy  has  already  made    
The  2nd  Regional  Meeting  that  will  be  organized  in  Larisa  in  summer  2016  will  be  dedicated  in  dissemination  
of  Fatima  proposed  tools  for  efficient  irrigation  and  fertilization  to  specific  invited  stakeholders.  Targets:  30  
Farmers,  10  Policy  makers,  15  local  agribusiness,  10  experts.      
After  completion  of  summer  2016  experiments  a  campaign  to  local  and  national  media  (3  newspapers,  3  TV  
stations)   will   be   conducted   presenting   the   experimental   results   and   the   proposed   Fatima   tools   for   efficient  
irrigation  and  fertilization  management  with  environmental  and  economic  benefits.    
Furthermore,  the  selected  local  campion  is  an  educated  farmer  this  is  why  he  cares  about  the  environment.  
He   supports   the   reducing   in   the   use   of   fertilizers,   so   to   have   less   pollution   and   spend   less.   He   wants   to  
convince  the  state  to  help  farmer  to  get  out  of  te  crises.  He  asks  the  state  to  be  trusted  and  believed.  He  
took  the  family  farm  after  his  study  to  make  the  farm  environmentally  sustainable.  

B.4  Avignon  

B.4.1  Current  situation  

Traditional   farmers   are   not   open   to   adopt   new   technologies   which   create   a   huge   waste   of   water.   In  
particularly  in  South  of  France  conventional  farming,  like  use  of  pesticides  or  other  phytosanitary  products  
when  it  could  have  alternative  solutions  more  adapted  for  the  environment.  Farmers  need  to  be  informed  
of  the  possibilities  they  have  to  be  more  specific  and  equally  productive.  

B.4.2  Target  audiences  

New  generation  of  young  farmers.  Motivate  the  by  showing  benefits  of  the  result,  the  new  method.  They  
need  to  see  and  not  only  read  a  simple  paper.  
 

B.4.3  Specialization  of  the  strategy  

Jerome   Grangier,   French   farmer.   The   use   of   new   tools,   new   methods.   He   likes   what   he   does,   he   has   an  
attitude  to  improve.  He  knows  the  conditions  of  his  plot  (plants,  kind  of  soil,  water).  He  is  very  connected  to  
the  land.  He  uses  water  efficiently

D6.3  FATIMA  Dissemination  Strategy   27/11/2015   v0.5  

B.5  Dehtare  

B.5.1  Current  situation  

The  pilot  area  Dehtáře  is  situated  in  the  south-­‐west  Bohemo-­‐Moravian  Highland  (Czech  Republic),  at  49°28´  
N  –  15°  12´  E,  close  to  Pelhřimov  town.  The  fields  in  Dehtáře  are  not  irrigated,  which  is  a  special  feature  of  
this   case   study   compared   to   all   other   FATIMA   pilot   areas.   The   experimental   site   was   established   in   late  
1970´s  for  the  research  of  linkages  between  land  use  and  management  in  various  geomorphological  zones  
and  water  quantity  and  quality  dynamics.  Dehtáře  has  an  area  of  59.6  ha,  with  tile  drained  areas  occupying  
19  ha  (~32%).  The  catchment  area  is  mainly  agricultural  land  (89.3%).  Minor  forested  areas  (3.3%)  lie  at  its  
northwestern  and  northern  borders.  Grassland  (20.3%)  covers  the  southern  part  of  the  catchment,  as  well  
as   the   adjacent   lowest   lying   southwestern   area,   which   is   tile-­‐drained.   The   remaining   area   (69%)   is   arable  
land,  which  is  used  mainly  for  production  of  cereals.  The  catchment  geomorphology  belongs  to  the  erosion-­‐
accumulation   relief   type.   The   altitude   ranges   between   497   and   550   m.   Dehtáře   site   is   located   within   the  
Svihov   drinking   water   reservoir   catchment,   on   the   Zelivka   river.   Svihov   reservoir   is   Czech   largest   surface  
drinking   water   supply   for   Prague   and   Central   Bohemia.   The   whole   Zelivka   river   basin   is   designated   as   a  
nitrate   vulnerable   zone.   The   main   crops   are   cereals   (winter   wheat,   spring   barley),   winter   rape,   potatoes  
and  red  clover.  
In  the  vicinity  of  Dehtáře,  there  occur  some  agri-­‐environmental  problems  related  to  farming  management.  
Surface,  drainage  and  groundwater  pollution  by  nitrates  persists.  In  the  year  2015,  a  lack  of  precipitation  
and  thus  available  soil  water  content  occurred.  This  year,  a  problem  with  shortage  of  potable  water  araised  
in   some   nearby   villages   and   potable   water   was   distributed   in   tanks.   On   the   other   hand,   in   the   same   region,  
flood  protection  measures  are  desirable  to  prevent  property  damages  after  torrential  rains  in  some  years.  
As   in   many   other   sites   in   the   region,   there   are   problems   with   functioning   and   maintenance   of   land  
drainage.   A   prevailing   challenge   still   to   be   addressed   is   soil   erosion.   Kojčice   farm,   a   local   traditional  
agricultural  cooperative,  engaged  in  Fatima,  is  eager  in  new  technologies  as  well  as  machinery  for  precise  
farming.  However,  as  many  of  the  farmers  around,  they  need  information  what  is  worth  /  necessary  to  do  
regarding   the   new   farming   approaches   in   the   view   of   maintaining   /   enhancing   crop   yields   with  
simultaneous   soil   and   water   conservation.   A   typical   current   approach   is   the   excessive   and   homogeneous  
use  of  fertilizer  with  a  little  regard  to  different  yield  potential  of  fields  with  different  soil  conditions.  

B.5.2  Target  audiences  

Farmers:  Our  story  is  important  for  local  farmers.  We  think  our  story  could  be  interesting  for  other  people  
in  Kojčice  cooperative  and  also  for  other  farmers  in  the  region  because  FATIMA  methods  are  targeted  to  
cost   minimization   and   improving   yields,   while   preserving   soil   and   water   resources.   Approach:   farmer  
workshops,  field  days,  information  on  farmer  web  pages.  
Other   stakeholders:   We   also   consider   arranging   a   workshop   with   Vltava   river   basin   authority  
representative,   since   precision   farming   management   in   FATIMA   pilot   Dehtáře   will   be   tested   also   how   it   can  
contribute   to   minimize   the   impact   of   fertilization   on   water   quality.   Incorporation   of   precision   farming   in  
watershed   plans   could   have   a   positive   effect   on   water   quality   improvement.   Approach:   meetings,  
information  on  web  pages,  results  in  scientific  papers  
Students  and  general  public:   Students   are   a   promising   target   group,   with   a   certain   way   of   influence   of   the  
neighbouring  opinion  (e.g.  parents,  teachers).  Approach:  meetings,  information  on  web  pages.

D6.3  FATIMA  Dissemination  Strategy   27/11/2015   v0.5  

B.5.3  Specialization  of  the  strategy  

Specialization   of   the   strategy   in   Dehtare   will   follow   the   same   pattern   as   in   the   Spanish   and   Greek   pilot.  
Additional  specialization  will  be  provided  during  the  course  of  the  project.  
Local   champions:  Agronomist  Milan  Vaněček  and  Pavel  Svárovský  (Engineer  in  charge  of  machinery)  from  
the  Kojčice  cooperative.  They  are  open  for  new  ideas,  know  the  agricultural  management  very  well  and  are  
willing  to  adopt  FATIMA  requirements.  These  guys  are  capable  to  show  the  results  from  FATIMA  explain  the  
benefits  and  motivate  other  farmers  to  provide  data  needed  for  upscaling  FATIMA  approach  to  large  fields.  

B.6  Marchfeld  

B.6.1  Current  situation  

1)  Long  tradition  of  farming.  Difficult  to  change  things,  people  are  proud  of  their  farm.  Conservative  type  of  
farming.   New,   young   farmers   who   are   more   environmentally   aware.   High   amount   of   organic   farmers  
(highest   in   Europe).   2)   Water   is   not   seen   as   an   environmental   problem   but   as   an   economic   one.   3)  
Closeness   to   Vienna.   Producers   and   consumers   are   really   close   to   one   another   -­‐>   Adamah   Biohof  
(http://www.adamah.at/)   and   food   cooperatives.   4)   Prices   of   products   are   controlled   from   outside   (big  
seller  are  SPAR).  5)  People  can’t  drink  tap  water  but  farmers  don’t  connect  it  to  their  own.  

B.6.2  Target  audiences  

Consumers.  Message:  environmental  water  foot  print,  energy  foot  print,  responsible  use  of  natural  
resources.  Approach:  through  big  sellers  like  SPAR,  Hofer,  Rewe,  Billa,  Merkur.  
Farmers.   Message:   Benefits   of   FATIMA   tools   and   services.   Approach:   through   fertilizer   companies,  
through   AGES   when   they   sent   a   sample   for   soil   analyses   and   AGES   farmer   workshops,   through  
farmers  associations  
General  public:  Approach  through  media  press  release  center  at  BOKU  and  AGES  

B.6.3  Specialization  of  the  strategy  

Young  farmers  –  Landjugend  


Large  farm  with  a  young  farmer  who  is  taking  over  the  farm  now  
A  female  organic  farmer.  Laura  knows  her,  has  been  a  politician  before  
Adamah.  Helene  could  contact  them!  Have  also  a  consumer  contact!  

B.7  Menemen  (lower  Gediz  basin)  

B.7.1  Current  situation  

The   Menemen   Plain   in   the   Lower   Gediz   River   Basin   is   located   in   Izmir   province.   The   area   is   intensively  
agriculturally  used  –  the  main  crops  are  cotton,  wine  and  maize  -­‐  and  irrigated  mainly  by  furrow  irrigation.  
The  plain  is  formed  by  the  material  carried  by  the  Gediz  river.  The  layers  are  not  distinctive.  Soil  is  classified  
into  15  series  of  entisol  and  inceptisols.  The  soil  is  especially  risch  in  nutrients  and  productive  where  there  
is  no  drainage  problem.  

   58  |  77  
D6.3  FATIMA  Dissemination  Strategy   27/11/2015   v0.5  

The   main   challenges   are   increasing   pressure   on   the   water   resources   and   pollution   of   water   and   soil.  
Frequent   drought   conditions   lead   to   an   over-­‐exploitation   of   groundwater   and   endanger   the   income   of  
farmers,  who  follow  a  strategy  of  risk  minimization  by  applying  high  water  and  fertilizer  dosages.    
The   average   irrigated   plot   size   in   the   pilot   area   is   small   with   1.3   ha.   The   government   has   already   taken  
measures  to  avoid  the  further  splitting  of  fields.  Almost  all  plots  (98%)  are  irrigated  with  furrow  irrigation.  
Only  for  vineyards  and  vegetables  drip  irrigation  systems  are  installed.  River  water  from  the  Gediz  river  is  
the   main   source   of   water   for   irrigation.   Less   than   10%   of   the   plots   in   the   pilot   are   irrigated   with  
groundwater.    
The   general   strategy   of   farmers   in   this   region   is   “risk   minimizing”   in   terms   of   achieving   the   desired   yield.  
They  do  it  by  “over-­‐fertilizing”  and  “over-­‐irrigating”  as  they  fear  to  lose  yield.  More  inputs  haven’t  brought  
more  money.  Less  inputs  give  safer  environment  especially  cleaner  water.  

B.7.2  Target  audiences  

The   number   of   members   of   Menemen   Left   Bank   Water   Users’   Association   is   about   4500.   These   will   be  
indirect   users   of   the   project   tools   and   services.   Mean   age   range   is   40-­‐50   and   nearly   all   of   the   members   are  
male   because   the   dominant   plant   pattern   is   field   crops.   According   to   the   president,   low   percentage   of  
vegetables  in  the  area  lowers  the  number  of  female  members.    
The  number  of  extensively  monitored  plots  will  be  totally  about  50  for  different  crops  during  project  period  
and  these  farmers  will  be  potentially  direct  users  of  the  project  services.  These  farmers  are  open  to  new  
techniques   and   volunteers   of   dissemination   of   the   FATIMA   products.   Because   the   plots   in   the   area   very  
fragmented,  regional  irrigation  management  and  in  field  fertilization  management  will  be  focused.  Due  to  
old   and   low   tech   irrigation   applications,   decision   support   of   regional   irrigation   water   management   will   be   a  
more  effective  FATIMA  service.  On  the  other  hand,  decision  support  for  fertilization  management  in  small  
plot  fields  will  be  more  interested  by  the  farmers.    
First,   technology   levels   of   current   input   management   in   wheat,   corn   and   cotton   growing   techniques   will   be  
identified   and   classified.   Later   a   monitoring   system   of   small   plots   will   be   established.   Small   size   plots   of   the  
same  farmers  as  well  as  neighboring  plots  which  show  difference  of  FATIMA  services  will  be  compared.  The  
difference  between  farmers  and  plots  and  the  reasons  will  be  identified.  

B.7.3  Specialization  of  the  strategy  

Brochures  and  leaflets  are  easy  to  prepare  and  hand  out.  To  extend  web  site  use  requires  demonstration  or  
short  training  of  the  project  tools  &  services.  Workshops  and  meetings  in  the  field  for  new  techniques  are  
common  in  the  area.    
Therefore  1000  leaflets  to  inform  the  specific  and  general  audience  about  purpose,  progress  and  findings  of  
the  project;  at  least  1  training  for  demonstration  of  the  project  tools  and  services  for  owners  of  extensive  
commercial   plots;   and   2   field   days   (one   for   wheat   and   one   for   maize   and   cotton)   in   2016   are   required.  
Newspaper  and  local  TV  will  be  invited.  Newsletters  will  be  prepared  after  each  regional  meetings  and  each  
milestone   activities.   Branded   and   promotional   items   like   pens   and   notepads   together   with   leaflets,  
factsheets  and  news  letters  will  be  used  in  every  evets.  
Local   project   team   and   stakeholder   advisory   panel   will   develop   and   foster   linkages   between   5   of   the  
farmers  who  member  of  core/focus  group  and  to  transfer  new  techniques  according  to  adaptive  learning  
by   day   by   day   communication   (informal   talks,   semi   structured   interviews,   round   table   discussions,   brain  
storming   whenever   required).   Neighbouring   farmers   as   well   will   be   potential   users   according   to   “law   of  
neighbour”.  Both  the  5  focus  group  and  extension  of  the  users  will  be  developed  by  snow  ball  technique.  

   59  |  77  
D6.3  FATIMA  Dissemination  Strategy   27/11/2015   v0.5  

Owners  of  the  extensive  commercial  plots  for  wheat,  corn  and  cotton  will  be  about  50  farmers.  And  around  
10   companies   of   seed,   fertilizer,   machinery,   marketing,   etc.   might   involve   in   dissemination   activities.  
Farming   communities,   policy   makers,   science&technology   peers   and   professional   associations   of   15-­‐20  
public   institutes   and   NGO’s   Farming   communities   will   be   invited   to   the   events   (workshops   and   the  
meetings).  
The   second   regional   meeting   will   be   held   at   the   beginning   of   February   2016   with   stakeholders.   The   leaflets  
will   be   distributed   to   the   participants.   Before   this   event   the   leaflets   will   be   prepared   and   distributed   to   the  
farmers  who  are  actively  participated  to  the  project.  Informal  talks  to  the  local  farmers  have  been  started  
at  the  beginning  of  the  project  and  they  will  be  continued  during  project  to  sustain  project  campaigns.  
Beside  local  dissemination  the  project  will  be  introduced  to  professionals  at  international  level  in  UTAEM’s  
international  training  courses  by  presentations.  
Local  champions:   Bridge   between   researchers   and   farmers.   Selling   points:   1)   Head   of   WUA   in   the   area   well  
know   farmer,   also   originally   from   the   pilot   area.   He   comes   from   farmers’   family.   He   is   well   know   by   the  
community   of   farmers   and   respected.   2)   He   is   interested   in   the   FATIMA   project,   wants   to   be   part   of   it,  
because  he  took  part  in  other  similar  projects.  3)  He  has  “power”  to  convince  the  farmers  in  the  area  if  we’ll  
succeed  the  project,  as  farmers  do  not  trust  researchers.
