The LIFE consortium will map all stakeholders, activities, benefits and concerns in the hydroponics and manure-based liquid fertilizer supply chains. Stakeholders include communities, entrepreneurs, academia, and policymakers involved in food production, processing, research, distribution, waste and water management, and land tenure. The concerns will be addressed via focus group discussions (FGDs) and validated using a Delphi study (see Stetkiewicz et al., 2023). Each FGD will consist of 6-12 participants to ensure diverse perspectives. The consortium will select experts for the FGD and Delphi study from academic institutions, professional associations, industry networks, consultancies, and government agencies using adverts, literature reviews, online databases, conference contacts, and recommendations from project partners' events. The result of each stakeholder engagement will be communicated and disseminated in a joint communiqué or policy briefs.
