NUTRI-KNOW - BROADENING THE IMPACT OF EIP-AGRI OPERATIONAL GROUPS IN THE FIELD OF NUTRIENT MANAGEMENT: KNOWLEDGE EXPLOITATION AND EASY-TO-UNDERSTAND MATERIAL FOR FARMERS AND PRACTITIONERS

Project description

Easy-to-understand knowledge for agriculture practitioners

There is a lot of new knowledge and recommendations being generated on agricultural managing practices and new technologies and products being developed. However, few are being taken up by practitioners. The EIP-AGRI Operational Group (OG) brings together farmers, researchers, advisers, businesses, environmental groups, consumer interest groups, and NGOs to advance innovation in the agricultural sector. The EU-funded NUTRI-KNOW project will expand OG outcomes on the issue of nutrient management across borders. The project aims to modernise the agricultural sector by collecting, translating, and sharing easy-to-understand and practice-oriented knowledge. NUTRI-KNOW will support the appropriate adoption of the OG results and experience by relevant end-users through 12 OGs from Spain, Italy, Belgium and Ireland.

Objective

Over the past years, a great amount of knowledge on managing practices, technologies, products and recommendations in the primary sector has been developed by several EU funded projects. Despite the continuous flow of information, new or improved managing choices have not been appropriated by practitioners as expected.
The main objective of NUTRI-KNOW is to broaden EIP-AGRI Operational Group (OG) outcomes on the thematic of nutrient management across borders to modernise and dynamise the agricultural sector by collecting, translating and sharing easy-to-understand and practice-oriented knowledge. NUTRI-KNOW will assure the appropriate adoption of the OGs results and experience by farmers, practitioners and other relevant end-users. To reach this ambitious goal, NUTRI-KNOW is built considering 12 EIP-AGRI OGs from 4 Member States (Spain, Italy, Belgium and Ireland), ensuring that at least one partner of the consortium has been involved in each OG. The engaged projects cover the whole value chain of nutrient management (livestock farming, storage systems, processing technologies, fertiliser production, transport and application). NUTRI-KNOW methodology is divided in 5 different steps: (1) Data collection and analysis of all the outcomes of the engaged OGs, (2) Multi-approach analysis to establish a solid baseline of the current situation (policies, farming practices, needs and challenges), (3) Consolidation and translation of the knowledge in a language that can be easy to understand for farmers and practitioners, (4) Delivery and transfer of the practice-oriented material created in the communication channels most consulted by farmers and (5) Interconnection of actors and territories with the creation of a Community of Practice. Finally, with all the knowledge gained during NUTRI-KNOW execution, the project will develop a Results Amplification Methodology that will serve as a guideline to upscale and broaden project outcomes effectively in any thematic of interest.
