| Résumé : | As an outermost region of Europe, the Canary Islands, with their limited territory and particular climatic conditions, are highly vulnerable to future rising temperatures linked to climate change. In particular, tropical crops-the main agricultural production site in the Canary Islands-will be among those most affected by heat. Within the framework of the ARSINOE project, we implemented a participatory research process based on living labs, where a diverse pool of stakeholders from the water and food production sectors, civil society, higher education and research, and the political sphere self-assessed the state of their system, envisioned desired futures, and codesigned climate change adaptation pathways for the region. The living labs consisted of three workshops held six months apart. The workshops created the conditions for higher-order learning among the group, moving beyond problem solving to incorporate values, attitudes, and underlying conditions. The outcomes show that (1) beyond economic factors, cooperative work and mutual help are seen by the group as essential drivers of transformative processes, (2) the community's readiness to transform is hindered by current land use regulations and financial incentives for unsustainable food production, and (3) research-based knowledge does not often find its way to farms due to a lack of training and conflicts with traditional practices. In conclusion, the living laboratory process acted as a trigger for the development of novel, nuanced, situated strategies supported by community values and practices that respond to the main challenges faced by food producers. |
