DIONYSUS PROJECT: Looking Back at the Second DIONYSUS Action Panel Workshop

Posted on April 29, 2026

On 14 April 2026, the second Action Panel Workshop was successfully held within the framework of the DIONYSUS Project (Section 1), bringing together key stakeholders to co-design a long-term roadmap for sustainability.
The discussions focused on strengthening the resilience and sustainability of three strategic sectors:
🍊 Citrus production
💧 Water resources
⚡ Energy systems
Facing the growing challenges of climate change, this participatory platform enabled participants to identify priority actions, exchange perspectives, and reinforce cooperation among institutions, professionals, and local actors.
🤝 Through dialogue and collective intelligence, the DIONYSUS Action Panels continue to transform the WEFE Nexus into concrete territorial solutions adapted to local realities.
👉 Together, we move forward toward sustainable, integrated, and future-ready solutions for Mediterranean territories.

NATAE: Tizi Ouzou Living Lab: a successful participatory review of agroecological practices

Posted on April 13, 2026

As part of the NATAE project, the participatory results review workshop was successfully held at the Tizi Ouzou Living Lab. The workshop followed a visit to the trial sites. The results relating to three agroecological practices were presented and discussed: agroforestry, organic fertilisation, and local seed. For each of these practices, we discussed the results of the trials (plot level), the bioeconomic model simulation (farm level), and the causal maps (territorial level). The aim was threefold: to interpret the results, to validate them, and to share them. The discussions were fruitful and enabled us to achieve these objectives.
