and collaborative reflection exercise of the Participatory Rural Appraisal of Odemira. The PRA began in February 2022, having
already conducted three participatory workshops where Odemira's agri-food systems have been characterised, the main problems
identified and analysed, and the pathways to change mapped out. This latest workshop looks at lessons learned to construct
concrete proposals for the municipality. (2023/10/28 - 2023/10/28)

| 2023/07/30 - 2023/08/01 | "Vivência Agroecológcia | AE experience": This agroecological communication experience is a peer-to-peer training based on
participatory agrophysical diagnosis methodologies. Content is built on the experiences of each participant, opening up an
experimental methodological space. We look at the farm's metabolism in three different ways: biomimicry (looking at the farm's
production system), neuromimicry (looking at the social networks in which the farmer operates) and ethnomimicry (looking at
how we learn and build our knowledge about agroecology). (2023/07/30 - 2023/08/01)

initiatives in our country and reflect with Clara Nicholls and Miguel Altieri on what kind of Agroecology Network we want
to build in Portugal. Clara Inés Nicholls and Miguel Altieri, professors from the University of California, Berkeley, mentored
