SOLINSA: Support of learning and innovation networks for sustainable agriculture

The SOLINSA project aims at identifying barriers to the development of Learning and Innovation Networks for sustainable agriculture (LINSA). The project will explore how policy instruments, financial arrangements, research, education and advisory services might support LINSA's in cost-efficient and effective ways.

The outcomes of the project will consist of:

• Tools and methods for practitioners involved in learning and innovation in agriculture
• Recommendations on policy instruments and financial arrangements that support learning and innovation for sustainable agriculture
• Concepts to reflect on learning and innovation processes as drivers of the transition to sustainable rural development
