Oper8 will set-up a self-sustainable, multi-actor, EU-wide Thematic Network to support and promote solutions for non-chemical weed control by building upon the knowledge and outcomes of 8 Operational Groups 7 countries, and stimulate knowledge exchange among all relevant actors and stakeholders. With the ambition to achieve a high impact and improve the sustainability of the European agricultural sector, the synthesis of partner OGs is based on their expertise, geographical location, novelty of solutions, as well as the established connections with the AKIS actors. Special emphasis has been placed on collaboration schemes among these OGs that progress at a different pace providing the opportunity to learn from the ‘early birds’, which will bring hands-on experience. The project will follow a multi-actor approach, implement a bottom up and top down model and build upon co-creation & cross fertilisation activities to help farmers access up-to-date knowledge, tools and techniques, applicable to specific conditions and needs.To this end, Oper8 will: (i) establish a stakeholder engagement processes to assemble the 7 National Networks (NNs); (ii) capture the drivers, barriers, and root causes of lack of non-chemical weed control adoption as part of a bottom-up approach; (iii) establish cross-fertilisation activities within and between the NNs to co-create, showcase, and evaluate non-chemical weed control methods; and (iv) deploy knowledge transfer tools and techniques (workshops, demo farms, CAP Measures) to adapt and scale up alternative weed control solutions and ensure their diffusion across EU. A series of actions (e.g., demonstration activities, policy recommendations and training sessions) for integrating project resultsinto the CAP Nationalstrategic plans will be implemented,strengthening the AKIS and, ultimately, paving the way towards a transition to a sustainable agriculture in adherence to the Green Deal and its Farm to Fork strategy.

Oper8将建立一个自我可持续的、多行为体的、全欧盟范围的专题网络，以8个行动小组7个国家的知识和成果为基础，支持和促进非化学品杂草控制的解决方案，并促进所有相关行为体和利益攸关方之间的知识交流。为了实现高影响力和提高欧洲农业部门的可持续性，合作OGs的综合是基于他们的专业知识、地理位置、解决方案的新颖性以及与AKIS参与者建立的联系。特别强调的是这些政府组织之间的合作计划，这些计划以不同的速度进展，提供了向“早起的鸟儿”学习的机会，这将带来实践经验。该项目将采用多方参与的方法，实施自下而上和自上而下的模式，并以共同创造和交叉施肥活动为基础，帮助农民获得适用于特定条件和需求的最新知识、工具和技术。为此，Oper8将：(i)建立利益相关者参与程序，以组装7个国家网络；（ii）捕捉驱动因素、障碍和缺乏采用非化学杂草控制的根本原因，作为自下而上方法的一部分；（iii）在网络内部和网络之间建立交叉施肥活动，共同创造、展示和评估非化学杂草控制方法；（iv）部署知识转移工具和技术（研讨会、示范农场、CAP措施），以适应和扩大替代杂草控制解决方案，并确保其在欧盟范围内传播。将实施一系列行动（如示范活动、政策建议和培训课程），将项目成果纳入CAP国家战略计划，加强AKIS，并最终为遵循绿色协议及其“从农场到餐桌”战略向可持续农业过渡铺平道路。
