Living lab: APEFEL CTT
A living lab is a real-world setting where users, researchers and companies develop and test solutions together. The APEFEL Centre de Transfert de Technologie (CTT) in Agadir is the proposed central setting for integrated demonstration and training within Route2030.
Current situation
The CTT is an existing location of APEFEL, the Moroccan association of fruit and vegetable producers and exporters. Its involvement in Route2030 is described; formal project agreements are being verified.
Planned upgrade
The planned programme foresees upgrading the demonstration greenhouse for integrated trials on water, root zone, climate and crop health. An overview of greenhouse functions follows once the layout is decided.
Research
Each trial gets a research question, responsible party, protocol version and status. The cycle: define the question, experiment, measure, evaluate, adjust and apply.
Training
The CTT is intended as a place for practical modules, demonstrations and train-the-trainer sessions, linked to commercial grower cases.
