Resumo
Há três anos atrás, em 2013, foi lançada em Lisboa a iniciativa SKAN - Sharing Knowledge Agrifood Networks (http://www.skanplatform.org/). O principal objetivo desta iniciativa era criar uma “rede de redes” que promovesse o diálogo internacional entre todos os atores relevantes ao nível político e diplomático, e ao nível da comunidade empresarial, universidades e meio académico, com um foco em três continentes: Europa, África e América Latina. Mais especificamente, o intuito era promover a partilha de conhecimento e tecnologia a um nível internacional e abrangente no setor agroalimentar. Em três anos a Plataforma SKAN assumiu um lugar de destaque no desenvolvimento de redes de partilha de conhecimento nos países de língua Portuguesa. O objetivo para o futuro é aumentar o número de iniciativas nos países onde tem atuado e começar a desenvolver iniciativas noutros países. O projeto tem produzido resultados significativos e o retorno do investimento que inicialmente foi alocado tem sido elevado. Esperamos que esta iniciativa possa ter um impacto positivo em desafios globais tais como a segurança alimentar, o desenvolvimento da agricultura, ou a transferência de tecnologia, tendo a capacidade de fortalecer as ligações e a colaboração entre a Europa, a África e a América Latina no sector agroalimentar.
Three years ago, in 2013, the SKAN initiative - Sharing Knowledge Agrifood Networks (http://www.skanplatform. org/) was launched in Lisbon. The main objective was to create a "network of networks" to promote an international dialogue between all relevant actors at a political and diplomatic level, as well as the business community, universities and academia, with a focus on three continents: Europe, Africa and Latin America. More specifically, the initial aim was to promote the sharing of knowledge and technology at an international and comprehensive level in the agrifood sector. In only three years the SKAN Platform achieved a prominent place in the development of networks of knowledge sharing in Portuguese speaking countries. The goal for the future is to increase the number of initiatives in the countries where SKAN is established and begin to collaborate and develop new initiatives in other countries. The project has produced significant outcomes and the return on the investment that was initially allocated has been high. We expect this initiative will have an impact on global challenges such as food security, agricultural development, or the transfer of technology, as well as the ability to strengthen the cooperation between Europe, Africa and Latin America in the agrifood sector.
