The scale and complexity behind CoCo's pan-European farmer survey: A conversation with CITA researchers

What does it actually take to understand how farmers across Europe live alongside wolves, bears and wolverine? For the CoCo project, it starts with a questionnaire and approximately 1,000 of them, collected from farms in 12 countries and 30 case study areas. Getting those questionnaires filled in was a feat in itself. But turning the resulting mountain of data into something researchers can actually analyse? That has been a different challenge entirely. We spoke to Ana Grau Valenciano and Eduardo Torres Martínez, researchers at CITA Spain, to find out what that process actually looks like.
