This manual is the result of a process of critical analysis by the LIFE MIDMACC project stakeholders involved in each of the project actions. Based on the identification of the successes and errors in the design and development of the 3 types of pilot experience (forest management, clearing and management of pastures and vineyards in mid-mountain), it has been possible to select the key elements and factors that have determined the achievement of the expected results in the pilot adaptation experiences in mid-mountain. This manual aims to be the final point of support for transfer and replicability, through the compilation of all the learning accumulated throughout the project. These lessons learned, organised by phases of implementation and target audience (livestock farmers, project technicians and public administrations) are a key deliverable aimed at facilitating the future replication of these practices in different mid-mountain contexts.
The document is structured in 7 sections. The first section consists of a brief summary of the project, with special attention to the description of the different pilot actions of the project. The second section describes the objectives of the handbook, as well as the methodology of elaboration and its different phases of development. The third section briefly describes the different target audiences that the lessons learned handbook aims to reach. The fourth section is aimed at facilitating the consultation of the information contained in the handbook. The fifth section is devoted to lessons learned and recommendations for project managers. The sixth section, on the other hand, presents the set of lessons learned and recommendations for technical staff and public administration managers. Finally, the seventh section highlights the recommendations and lessons learned addressed to productive actors.
