ATF-EAAP Special Session - Innovative Farmers

Minimize
Innovative farmers – how farmers use research to innovate in animal husbandry
 
How do farmers innovate? How does research contribute to on-farm innovation? And, how can farmers contribute to innovative research?
The Animal Task Force and EAAP Special Session ‘Innovative farmers – how farmers use research to innovate in animal husbandry’ on Thursday August 28, 2014 in Copenhagen focussed on these questions.


The ATF Special Session focussed on farmers: how farmers arrange innovation, how research can contribute to innovation on farm, and how farmers can contribute to applicable research. The Session addressed best practices of innovative farmers from across Europe.

With the start of the European Innovation Partnership on Agricultural Productivity and Sustainability (EIP-Agri) in 2014, more emphasize will be paid to multi-actor innovation with farmers in the lead and research in a support role. Bringing research to practice will be more and more important. A key role in this process and in the EIP-Agri is reserved to farmers. With this Special Session The ATF and EAAP intended to contribute to the understanding of the roles of farmers and their interaction with scientists in innovation processes.
