Networks and platforms

best4soil provides videos (YouTube), data sheets and 2 databases including decision support tool. The videos, databases and fact sheets are published in 22 official EU languages, to facilitate innovation management for professionals across Europe. Information will be freely accessible to ensure smooth knowledge transfer from research to practice.

Technological platform for animal breeding and reproduction

Eurodairy covers 40% of EU dairy farmers, 45% of cows and 60% of milk production, drawn from emerging and mature milk producing regions of Europe. Farmer groups coming together in regions (as "operational groups") will be linked, so that good ideas can be captured and exchanged.

Recognizing the role of farmers as innovators, Bovine will build on the reservoir of knowledge that exists at the farm level across the four key related themes of: Socio-economic resilience, animal health; Wellbeing, production efficiency & and meat quality and environmental sustainability.

Collect cutting-edge knowledge ready to be put into practice by "end users" but not yet implemented well. Establish and maintain a knowledge sharing/qualification environment between farmers, business actors, researchers and advisors as a common ground to identify needs, evaluate new tools and innovations and facilitate exchange.

To achieve its objective, AFINET has included the participation of more than 900 agroforestry actors directly involved in agroforestry through an interregional European network (consisting of 9 regional innovation agroforestry networks (Rain)) that was articulated through the figure of the ""Innovation Broker"".

This project will create an EU-wide pig network that currently does not exist, providing significant added value by identifying and addressing the most pertinent challenges facing the EU pig industry and combining scientific knowledge with best practices on the farm.

A 600-member multi-stakeholder community of practice * 10 Best Practice Guides, 100 Best Practice Summaries and 100 short videos to explain how farms have successfully adopted innovative practices * Working with 40 farms (in 8 countries) to develop plans multi-stakeholder agricultural health programs, case studies to show other farms how working with their veterinary, feed or equipment supplier

Euraknos will increase the compilation of practice-ready knowledge by intensifying the interaction between various agricultural or forestry food networks, thus maximizing results for practitioners. Cross-fertilization will be organized among existing thematic networks spanning different countries, regions and production systems.

Best Practice Hens (BPH) will prepare and provide practical support to egg producers to encourage them to move from caged to cage-free systems. This applies to both the breeding of laying hens and the maintenance of laying hens in the production period.

Sm@RT uses an original interactive, transdisciplinary and multi-actor approach, based on 3 levels of networks: 1) a network of well-equipped demonstration farms ('digifarms'), 2) a network of innovative commercial farms to encourage exchanges with 3 ) the small ruminant industry in each country.
