€ 210,000 for research into innovation and knowledge transfer in agriculture
A research grant of € 210,000 has been made available by the Ministry, LTO Nederland (the Dutch Organization for Agriculture and Horticulture), SNN (the Northern Netherlands Assembly) and the cooperative Cosun.
Three different projects will be started in the areas of innovation, knowledge transfer and improvement of the use of decision-supporting systems. The idea for this initiative originates from a number of agricultural entrepreneurs from LTO, HPA (the Central Arable Farming Marketing Board), the agricultural cooperatives Cosun and AVEBE and the department of Innovation Management and Strategy. The projects follow on from the experience and external contacts that Prof. René Jorna and the researchers Laura Maruster, Niels Faber and Irmgard Starmann of the department have gained in recent years in the area of sustainable innovation in arable farming.
