INNO-VEG

INNO-VEG aims to increase the speed and uptake of innovation in the field vegetable and potato sectors by (i) defining and implementing a new approach for delivering cost effective research and (ii) establishing a cross-border innovation network which will create the framework conditions for innovation to facilitate uptake of the new approach. The new approach will reduce the cost of delivering research, enabling the current research funding to address a wider range of research priorities. It will also facilitate a change from predominately research organization and commercial company led research to one where farmer led research forms an important component. This approach places the farmer at the centre of the research process which helps to up-skill the industry and drive improvements in crop production efficiency by testing and implementing new approaches or products on commercial farms.
