The analytical framework on which the Cross Visits are based have helped the AgriSpin partners link their practical experiences in AgriSpin to theory in general as well as to communicate in a consistent way throughout the Cross Visits.

The conceptual framework of AgriSpin aims at facilitating the exchange of existing knowledge on innovative approaches in agriculture, agricultural supply chains and rural areas. Thus, it serves as a guide to understand and analyse innovations, innovation processes and related concepts with a specific focus on innovation support services. In that capacity, the AgriSpin framework may serve as an inspiration to professionals in other professions.

By summarizing and drawing conclusions from the reviewed literature, the scientific team of AgriSpin has proposed operational definitions and an understanding of terms and concepts relevant for the AgriSpin project as well as to a broader audience.
