D2.7: Annual case development report (year 3)

In this document, we report on the activities and outcomes in the 12 Nextfood cases. The cases have reported these outcomes using a revised template, that was developed to further streamline case development reporting (see Appendix 4.1). The template covers both the descriptive elements of each case, and the reporting of the case development process and case research. The filled templates, i.e. the individual case development reports from the cases, form the basis of this document.<br> The third year of the Nextfood project started, like previous years, after the deliverables had been submitted at the end of June 2020. Unfortunately, the Ethiopia case has been put on hold in view of the situation in northern Ethiopia. The Chile case was started in the third year of the Nextfood project.<br> In this third year, further case development was facilitated through workshops for all cases and peer-learning groups for the cases. Additionally, the WP2 leaders set up an individual meeting with each case in October 2020. The workshops covered challenges that several cases were facing, and guidance from the WP2 leaders on how to overcome those challenges. Through these workshops, the work across the cases became more streamlined.<br> The four peer learning groups focused on the following topics, as selected by the cases themselves: Analysing competence development, qualitative data analysis, reflection, and the multi-actor approach. This last peer learning group gradually started focusing more on the topic of online action-oriented learning, due to the significance of that topic under the given Covid-19 pandemic. Several facilitators and researchers in the cases gave very positive feedback on their participation in the peer learning groups. They mentioned that they learned a lot from participating, specifically on issues that they had been struggling with for a while already.<br> This document will start by presenting the amended template structure, before providing summaries from each of the case development reports. All the individual case development reports will follow thereafter.
