The aim of the project is to set up an implementation accelerator for common fields, to check it on the basis of a prototype and to demonstrate the prototype implementation with realistic complex problems in practice. With the help of the Implementation Accelerator, a standardized program for building community fields, the processes are to be simplified, costs reduced and the success of the implementation increased. Common fields or rental fields offer townspeople the opportunity to grow their own vegetables on an arable area divided into plots. They are advised and supported digitally and analogously. The content of the Micro Agriculture Implementation Accelerator, the implementation method, is a package of matching, preconfigured support services. Online tools are being developed to support operators with the start-up and operational support of the communal fields, communication and advertising. There is a social media tool, the micro-farming community, for the organizational support of the communal fields. In addition, the production of instruction videos, checklists, the search for adapted sources of supply, the coordination of online workshops will become part of the Micro Agriculture Implementation Accelerator. The introduction of new rental fields from new providers is accompanied by advice, services, communication and a complete supply chain. The Implementation Accelerator makes starting new common fields easier, cheaper, safer and faster. By using best practice processes and resources, costs are reduced, there are fewer risks during the introduction and less stress for the providers. With the micro-farming implementation method, providers get a preconfigured solution that they can implement step by step with less manpower.
