Interactions with stakeholders on farm typology presented in this deliverable D1.2 are part of Task 1.2 in LIFT workpackage (WP) 1. WP1 aims to provide the framework for farm typologies to be used in the LIFT project and beyond, and to develop a user-friendly typology tool assigning farms to specific farming systems based on information on the degree of uptake of ecological practices. This is necessary in order to study for example the determinants of the adoption of these practices. The LIFT typology will be used in other WPs (besides WP2, in WP3, WP4 and WP5 as well) to evaluate and compare the performance and overall sustainability of farming systems across different levels of incorporation of ecological approaches. The LIFT typology will finally be materialised into a typology-tool that will assign a farm to a system depending on the level of incorporation of ecological approaches. Task 1.2, reported here, was designed to investigate the perceptions of various local stakeholders involved at different levels (professional, institutional or political) and able to have an opinion on ecological practices. The literature review (see LIFT deliverable D1.1) provided the foundation of the framework of a typology, taking into account existing typologies and nomenclatures about the degree to which farmers adopt ecological practices. However, local stakeholders could have developed specific typologies in line with their objectives and in accordance to their own context (pedo-climatic conditions, the main agricultural productions, the political and economic conditions...). Therefore, it is important to investigate the opinion of local stakeholders. They may have an alternative (or complementary) understanding of practices (or indicators) to capture the degree of ecological practices in different production systems (i.e. crop, livestock or mixed systems), in relation to principles and nomenclatures coming from the literature review. These interactions with local stakeholders must be consistent with other interactions all along the LIFT project such as annual stakeholders’ workshops, large-scale farmer survey and qualitative interviews.
