AgriSpin - Space for innovations in Agriculture

The project already started in March 2015, while the official kick off meeting, organized in Denmark took place in April 2015. At this kickoff meeting, AgriSpin officially started the process of hunting down “Space for innovations in Agriculture” which is the main goal of the project. By uncovering the so-called blind spots in innovation projects, AgriSpin’s is specifically out to contribute to improved methods of innovation in European agriculture.

The AgriSpin project will examine the practice of innovation today by answering questions such as: How does the European farmer seek information and support? What competencies does he expect of his adviser? What kind of support system is in place today? By doing so, AgriSpin intends to uncover best cases for innovation and identify the type of innovation support system that makes for the most optimal innovation process.
