EIP-AGRI Network Priorities in 2018

A. Fostering a thriving

Innovation Ecosystem in

agriculture

Making the most of the

digital transformation

B. Promoting innovation in:

Managing natural resources

&

Improving farm resilience

C. Strengthening

agricultural value chains

within a circular, decarbonised bio-economy

EIP-AGRI Network Priorities in 2018

Fostering a thriving Agricultural Innovation System in the EU

Seminar: Upscaling OG results and learning from EIP-AGRI implementation Objective: • Capitalize on the results of OGs and learn from EIP implementation • Feed the discussion about the new CAP

Fostering a thriving Agricultural Innovation System in the EU

Communicating the digital transformation in agriculture

Digitisation Toolbox Objective: • Communicate the outcomes of past digitisation activities in a simple and

accessible way through several communication products

Fostering a thriving Agricultural Innovation System in the EU

Communicating the digital transformation in agriculture

Workshop:

Access the digital transformation in agriculture: the role of AKIS

Objective: • Promote the communication of digitisation through Agricultural Knowledge

and Innovation Systems (esp. advisors and NRNs) and contribute to the development of the Digitisation Toolbox

• Feed the discussion about the new CAP

Fostering a thriving Agricultural Innovation System in the EU

Communicating the digital transformation in agriculture

Seminar: Multi-level digital strategies for agriculture and rural areas Objective: • Promote multi-level strategic plans for digitisation in agriculture (and rural

areas) and raise awareness about the Digitisation Toolbox • Feed the discussion about the new CAP

Promoting innovation in managing natural resources and improving farm resilience

Workshop: Innovative water management in agriculture

• Bring together recent and current activities relating to innovation in water

management in agriculture, with special attention to water quality • Gather OGs working on water-related projects • Exchange information from different groups working on the topic (e.g. EIP

water, Commission Water Task-Force, ENRD Thematic Group, OECD... ) • Territorial approaches in agricultural water management and water quality

at landscape level (e.g. examples how farmers work together at catchment level with advisors' support)

Promoting innovation in managing natural resources and improving farm resilience

Focus Groups:

• Non-chemical weed management

• Protecting agricultural productions from

frost damage

• Anti Microbial Resistance in the poultry

sector

Strengthening agricultural value chains within a circular, decarbonised bio-economy

Focus Groups:

• New feed for livestock

• Reducing food loss on the farm

Strengthening agricultural value chains within a circular, decarbonised bio-economy

Workshop: Opportunities for farm diversification in the circular bio-economy • Diversification as a way of managing risks

• Strategies for optimising the use of biomass on

the farm, consistently with the farm size and type

• New uses of biomass from agricultural supply

chains;

• New products, new markets and related logistics

• involvement of new entrants
