Asociacion Valenciana de agricultures

AVA-ASAJA is a Spanish farmers’ association representing agricultural producers and defending their professional, economic, and environmental interests. The organisation promotes sustainable farming practices, supports innovation uptake, and acts as a bridge between farmers, policymakers, and research initiatives.

Role within Nemesis

Within Nemesis, AVA-ASAJA contributes direct engagement with the farming community, particularly within the Spanish Living Lab. The association facilitates the involvement of farmers in co-design activities, field testing, and feedback processes related to soil health co-solutions. By representing producers’ perspectives, AVA-ASAJA ensures that proposed practices are realistic, economically viable, and aligned with farmers’ operational needs. Its extensive network strengthens outreach, peer learning, and dissemination at regional level. Through this role, AVA-ASAJA enhances the practical relevance, acceptance, and long-term uptake of Nemesis outcomes within the agricultural sector.
