Studies in Agricultural Economics
Participators in AgriSpin, Eelke Wielinga, Alex Koutsouris, Andrea Knierim and Adrien Guichaoua, have written the article “Generating space for innovations in agriculture: the AgriSpin projector” which has been accepted by the journal Studies in Agricultural Economics. The article appears in the journal no. 119 (2017).
“Good initiatives for sustainable innovations are everywhere. The biotope selects. How can a conducive biotope be created where such initiatives will flourish and develop into successful innovations? Where can initiators easily find partners and funds to make their dreams come true? What can innovation support agencies do concretely to make a difference? These are the central questions in the European Union Horizon 2020 project AgriSpin. … Firstly, we summarise some bottlenecks that are frequently mentioned in the literature. Then the design of the project is described. A key element is the series of ‘cross-visits’ hosted by the partners. At the time of writing, all cross-visits have been made, and the project has entered a digestion period in which we try to make sense of what has been observed. The next step is to design action plans for each partner organisation and the key actors in the regions where they operate. So, this paper reports work in progress. Nevertheless, some interesting ‘pearls’ and ‘puzzles’ can already be reported.” (excerpts from the abstract)
