  1. FIGARO WP9. Demonstration WP Planning Valencia, 20-23 January 2014 Fernando Martínez

  2. Project structure WP2 to WP6 : Development WP9 Demonstration Flexible and precIse irriGation plAtform to improve faRm scale water prOductivity

  3. Goals Slide 2 Flexible and precIse irriGation plAtform to improve faRm scale water prOductivity Go ahead testing stage into demonstration state to increase the impact of results Run for an entire season the optimized and fine-tuned systems (M36-48) Training of end users and other stakeholders (open field days, on-site training workshops, web courses ..) Site visits to ensure the equipment and platform is running smoothly and to assess ease of use by end users Questionnairesregarding end-user opinion (M42)

  4. Objectives Slide 3 Flexible and precIse irriGation plAtform to improve faRm scale water prOductivity • Select specific sites from the Field Testing sites, covering various technology configurations, a range of strategy choices, different soil and climate conditions, .. • End user feedback on the FIGARO system ease of use, interfaces, robustness of system , apparent water savings, extension workers managing demo,.. • Comparison between FIGARO managed fields and fields which are unmanaged or managed using different tools. • Demonstration sites will serve as training opportunities using the developed training materials from WP 10.

  7. Inside Tasks Task 9.1 Selection of demonstrationsitesM36 (Netafim, Eden, UPVLC, AU, Agrosens, DUTH, C-Tech, IST) • Most of the field testing sites may be chosen for demonstration. In each case, the background conditions and success of the previous stage will either support inclusion or exclusion of a particular site. • The most successful configuration of the technology at a given site during the field tests will be selected for use.

  8. Inside Tasks Task 9.2 DemonstrationsM36 – M48 (Netafim, Eden, IIT, HR, UPVLC, AU, CER, Hidromod, Agrosens, DUTH, C-Tech, IST) • Parallel demonstrations will run along the last year of the projectat least one site in each participant country. • Demonstration sites will provide data and output information forongoing assessment activities. • A selection of the most effective, will be shown at the Permanent Technological Demonstrationfield that CER is managing since 1989.

  9. Inside Tasks Task 9.3 Workshops- M36 (Netafim, Eden, HR, UPVLC, AU, CER, Hidromod, Agrosens, Unibo, DUTH, IST) • A training Workshop will be run in M36 for participating farmers and local agronomists with the aim of data tracking and other monitoring activities. • Participants will be instructed onhow often they have to collect specific data, how to structure reports of collected data and how to transmit the data to the RTD partners for ongoing assessment (WP7).

  10. Inside Tasks Task 9.4 Endusersfeedback- M42 (UPVLC, Netafim, AU, DUTH, CER, Eden, Agrosens, Unibo, PED-AMT, IST) • After six months of operating the platform in the field the local farmers will be asked to respond to a user satisfaction questionnaireprepared in WP10. • They will meet with developers of the system and other stakeholders in order to relate their experiences. • This will take place as part of 2 workshops and open field days (in WP10) hosted in Greece at the DUTH demonstration site andin Italy at the CER demonstration site.

  11. Commitments MILESTONES DELIVERABLES Slide 10 Flexible and precIse irriGation plAtform to improve faRm scale water prOductivity

  12. Next steps … • Start selecting the most suitable test fields to be included in demonstrations • Start contacts with the stakeholders that will hold workshops and demo events • Prepare the information to be included in the FIGARO web page concerning future demos • Think about the structure and the way the demos will be carried out in future Slide 11 Flexible and precIse irriGation plAtform to improve faRm scale water prOductivity
