HENNOVATION - Practice-led innovation supported by science and market-driven actors in the laying hen and other livestock sectors

Hennovación demonstrates the potential for producer-led innovation and industry practices (on the farm, during transport, and at the slaughterhouse) by establishing innovation networks that proactively seek out and utilize new ideas to make their businesses more efficient and sustainable. The project will also develop the skills of participants in the innovation networks and facilitate communication among individuals within each network.

These are the expected objectives:

1. To demonstrate the potential of practice-based innovation networks, supported by existing scientific and market actors, to develop practical and cost-effective solutions to sustainability challenges.
2. Develop multi-stakeholder networks that will develop technical innovations to address harmful pecking and end-of-life management of laying hens, based on practice, economics, and scientific information
3. Creating web communication tools, facilitation guides, and online training programs, designed to assist scientific and market stakeholders, will be available to support practice-based innovation networks in other livestock sectors.
4. Develop policy recommendations that contribute to realizing the full potential of practice-based innovation through multi-stakeholder networks in the livestock sectors
