Solutions for Food Security in Masuria
Research and Innovation Centre Pro-Akademia
is organising an online simulation workshop entitled "Resilience of Masurian agriculture in crisis situations", which will be held as part of the EcoReadyMasuria Living Lab.
The workshop aims to jointly develop key elements of a contingency plan for agriculture in Masuria. The meeting will take the form of a decision-making simulation, during which participants will analyse realistic scenarios of disruptions in the region's food system.
Workshop participants will have the opportunity to analyse three hypothetical scenarios:
• the outbreak of a highly contagious cattle disease,
• the sudden suspension of milk collection at several plants in north-eastern Poland,
• disruptions related to military operations in the Masuria region.
During the workshop, each participating group will develop key elements of a contingency plan covering key risks, actions in the first 72 hours, stabilisation measures for 30 days and communication recommendations.
The results of the workshop will be used to draft a document entitled "Contingency Plan for Agriculture in Masuria", which will be submitted to participants for consultation. This will be an excellent opportunity to strengthen cross-sectoral cooperation and improve the adaptability of agriculture in the region.
We invite representatives of various institutions to participate, including crisis management structures, veterinary inspection, agricultural advisory centres, local governments, chambers of agriculture, producer organisations, the processing sector, scientific circles and farmers themselves. Their participation will contribute to the creation of comprehensive and practical solutions that will respond to the specific needs of the region.
Registration for the workshop is available at: https://ecoreadymasuria.pl/warsztaty-symulacyjne.
The workshop will be held in Polish language.
