Result description
Drawing from key interventions and lessons learned from the FOODPathS project, this toolkit aims to provide pragmatic tools to amplify the potential of such partnerships. This toolkit is organized to cover four key areas that include inclusive partnership models, strategies for mapping and engaging funders, strategies for mapping and engaging research and education- establishing living labs, and communication and dissemination. For each area, the document provides essential concepts and practical tools designed to help maximize benefits and reduce trade-offs. This toolkit should be viewed as a flexible toolkit to experiment, learn, and adapted to specific needs and context.
