Abstract :PASTINNOVA is one of the approved projects by the PRIMA foundation of the European Union HORIZON 2020 program. The general target of PASTINNOVA is to increase the resilience of small-scale farms producing in rural areas under the pressure of changing climatic conditions, to improve production and marketing opportunities with innovative approaches, and to create sustainable business and organizational models for the economic empowerment of rural women. Living Labs (LL) is an open, user-oriented system whose overall scope is principle-based, based on the discovery and discovery of tangible objects in living communities. Within the scope of the project, we are also starting our efforts to establish the first Regional Living Lab, which is highly preferred in the international disciplines, which will adapt to Mediterranean animal husbandry. Living Laboratories are application-oriented networks where all relevant stakeholders are involved, where problems are identified, new solutions are developed, and which facilitate and encourage the implementation of open, collaborative, innovative practices in pastoral livestock production. In this study the contributions of stakeholders, Identification of problems and first meeting outputs of the 1st RLL meeting in Adana-Turkey will be presented.
