The EIP-AGRI in short approach
• 2010: European Innovation Partnerships want to speed up
innovation through collaboration and linking policies and
instruments: IMPACT!!!
• The EIP-AGRI was launched by DG AGRI in 2012: COM (2012)79
• The EIP-AGRI applies an overarching "Open innovation" concept
based on the interactive innovation model (applied in CAP
Operational Groups and H2020 Multi-Actor projects):
Collaboration between various actors to make best use of
complementary types of knowledge (scientific, practical,
organisational, etc) in view of co-creation and diffusion of
solutions/opportunities ready to implement in practice.
• EU wide EIP network linking actors: communication, partnering,
dissemination, knowledge flows and collecting practice needs
(Open science)
* In line with the main recommendation of the 2015 Milan Scientific Committee on impact: 'more research into
practice'

2. EIP-AGRI's Rural Development side
What is an Operational Group (OG) ? • EIP operational groups funded under rural development programmes are multi-actor, project based and tackle a certain practical problem or opportunity which may lead to an innovation • The operational group is tailored to this problem/opportunity and makes the best use of different types of knowledge (practical, scientific, technical, organisational, etc) in an interactive way. • The operational group is composed of those key actors (farmers, advisors, researchers, businesses, NGOs etc) which are in the best position to realize the project's goals and to share experiences broadly.
Interactive innovation: Cross-fertilisation is key for tackling complex challenges and developing opportunities for innovation Du choc des idées jaillit la lumière Nicolas Boileau, french philosopher, 17th century > Enlightenment comes when views collide > From the clash of opposing minds, new ideas arise
EIP Operational Groups 2014-2020 • The EIP implementation aims at a flexible and open system for the creation of a multiplicity of operational groups (OGs) • 27 MS and 98 RDPs are implementing the EIP in their 2014- 2020 Rural Development programmes with regular calls for Operational Group projects during this period • 3200 OGs planned in 2014-2020, with cooperation in innovative activities such as the development of new products or practices, pilot projects, supply chain cooperation, environmental projects or climate change actions, cooperation in biomass provision or renewable energy, forest management and much more • EIP provides unique opportunity for better cooperation projects thanks to attention for supporting environment and through the (possible) funding of the preparation process of a project
The first OGs were set up in 2016 ... Some examples:
• ValorInVitis – using indigenous varieties and increasing the resilience of
production systems to climate change (IT-ER)
• Pig health – reducing the use of antibiotics (DE-NS)
• Robust lamb in Pyrénées (France)
• Winter harvest: seasonal, energy extensive and innovative vegetable
production (Austria)
• Establishing a sustainable and environment friendly wheat value chain
(Germany)
• FruitNet - control of Monilinia spp. in stone fruits (Spain)
• Aquaponics: nutrients from fish for plant growth (DE – MV)
• Organic dock control in grasslands (Austria)
• Zero herbicides in Mediterranean perennial crops (France)

3. EIP-AGRI's H2020 research and innovation side
H2020 Multi-actor approach - Key elements
EU research and innovation projects
The two most important principles are:
• to focus on end-users’ problems/opportunities and
develop innovative solutions which cover real needs. End-users
like farmers, foresters or businesses will be more motivated to
use the project results, because they were incorporated in
generating them and therefore feel "co-ownership"
• to bring together the most relevant partners with the needed
complementary type of knowledge which helps solving
problems and tackling opportunities e.g.: farmers, advisors,
researchers, suppliers, processors, agencies and/or other
actors, who co-operate and co-innovate in project activities
from the beginning till the end.

Compiling knowledge ready for practice
• Multi-actor coordination action: Partners should summarise,
share and present existing scientific knowledge & best
practices that are not sufficiently known (and applied) by
practitioners , in an easy understandable concise way ready
for practice
• Themes to be chosen bottom-up, contributing to a more
competitive sustainable agriculture and forestry
• Themes must focus on the most urgent needs of agricultural
or forestry production sectors,

4. Conclusions EIP evaluation study a) Published February 2017, by 5 external contractors b) https://ec.europa.eu/agriculture/sites/agriculture/files/external- studies/2016/eip-2016/eval_en.pdf
Conclusions: • The EIP is a unique funding for innovative opportunities, highly appreciated also, because of bottom-up + coverage of real needs/opportunities • This is demonstrated by the vast majority of Member States having prioritised and programmed this new and voluntary measure • The EIP flexibility allows it to be shaped to widely different circumstances and innovation infrastructure, tackling the gap between research and practice • Where EIP networks and National Rural Networks have been active in MS, they have strongly promoted the EIP Recommendations: • Avoid watering down EIP’s distinctive practical bottom-up approach • Enable advance payments and innovation support services • Create further networking, multiplication and linkages generating extra EU added value => connecting and widening EU AKIS (e.g. cross-visits, …)

29CAP post 2020 Communication "The future of food and farming": involves also the future for AKISs “The European Innovation Partnership for Agricultural Productivity and Sustainability (EIP-AGRI) and the European Innovation Partnership on Water have proven their value in mobilising the agricultural sector for innovation. It has funded multi-participant pilot projects and is networking across Europe to make new knowledge generally available. Its success depends on the combined performance of advisors, agricultural training and educational systems, researchers and farmer organisations often referred to as the Agricultural Knowledge and Innovation System (AKIS) which operates very differently from one Member States to another. The role of the farm advisor stands out as particularly important. A modern CAP should support the strengthening of farm advisory services within the AKIS systems. This should become a condition for the approval of CAP Strategic plans.” Read the Communication: https://ec.europa.eu/agriculture/sites/agriculture/files/future-of- cap/future_of_food_and_farming_communication_en.pdf
CAP post 2020 Communication – The future of food and farming – Clarification memo on AKISs (1) “Why does the CAP need to support innovation? What is the rationale? Agriculture and our rural areas face a number of challenges for which new solutions need to be found. We need better advice and more innovation. Public involvement in research and innovation is necessary to bridge the gap between rural areas in demand of digital innovations and better connectivity and providers of new technologies. It makes sense to cooperate on research an innovation at EU level. By learning from each other in different parts of the EU we will develop better knowledge and will adopt innovation faster. Read the Memo: http://europa.eu/rapid/press-release_MEMO-17-4842_en.htm
CAP post 2020 Communication – The future of food and farming – Clarification memo on AKIS (2) “How will this new approach function in practice?” The Union should set the basic policy parameters based on the objectives of the CAP, …the already agreed objectives and targets on for instance the environment, climate change (COP 21), and a number of sustainable development goals. Each Member State should establish a "CAP strategic plan", which would cover interventions in both pillar I and pillar II. This plan will tailor CAP interventions to maximise their contribution to EU objectives taking better into account local conditions and needs, against such objectives and targets. At the same time, Member States would also have a greater say in designing the compliance and control framework applicable to beneficiaries (including controls and penalties). ….
CAP post 2020 Communication – The future of food and farming – Clarification memo on AKIS (3) “How will this new approach function in practice?” (continued) These strategic plans would be prepared not in isolation but in the framework of a structured process and the Commission would assess and approve such plans. This would maximise the contribution of the CAP towards the EU priorities and objectives and the achievement of Member States' climate and energy targets. It would also enhance the EU added value and preserve a functioning agricultural internal market. While Member States should bear greater responsibility and be more accountable as to how they meet the objectives and achieve agreed targets, the new approach will continue to ensure a level playing field, preserving the common nature and the two pillars of the policy. http://europa.eu/rapid/press-release_MEMO-17-4842_en.htm
CAP post 2020 Communication – The future of food and farming – Clarification memo on AKIS (4) “How will the future CAP support farmers in protecting the environment?” (+ young farmers etc) As a foundation, farmers receiving income support from the CAP will have to apply various environment- and climate-friendly practices. Member States will determine the detail of these - in line with the need to meet EU-level objectives but also taking into account national, regional and local circumstances. Eco-friendly action which goes beyond this foundational level of good practice will be supported through schemes which are voluntary for farmers - at a relatively basic level, and above that more advanced schemes. The CAP will also place strong emphasis on unlocking the potential of research, innovation, training and the use of advice to improve care for the environment and climate, including through greater resource (as in Baltic Deal etc)
CAP post 2020 – The future of food and farming –
involves also the future for AKIS
• The rationale for these sentences is that the efficiency and
effectiveness of advisory services can best be upgraded by
improving their connections within the Agricultural
Knowledge and Innovation Systems and sharing
knowledge and innovative applications more
intensively.

(cross-fertilisation in SWG
SCAR-AKIS ongoing) between key
actorsCAP post 2020 – The future of food and farming – 3 key actors in strengthened AKIS with stronger knowledge flows in and between MSs: • (1) Advisors (broad concept but independent of commercial interests) – often closest to farmers, bring in and funnel needs from farmers/end-users and communicate back to them. Could also be repres. of ngos, farmers’ org etc 2. Many kinds of people are so-called “advisor”. What should be the criteria for being considered an advisor? 2.1. Impartial, having the competence and means to enhance the ability to change Advice comes from an individual advisor, which may belong to an entity (private or public/small or big), with a conscious ambition to intervene so that the customer (broadly defined) improves his/her ability to change. The purpose is communication and an intervention in order to support change. This is only possible if the advisor has the competence and the means (f.i. financial resources) to do it. The advisor should be impartial and not promoting a specific product or technology. One definition of extension/advisory services is that advisory services are 'conscious interventions in order to create better preconditions for change, carried through by an entity having the means and competence to do it'. Farmers may receive substantial and often valuable information from companies in the context of their commercial objectives. However, farmers need to be enabled to receive independent “advice” that is not part of a “product service” package. https://ec.europa.eu/eip/agriculture/sites/agri- eip/files/policy_brief_on_the_future_of_advisory_services_scar_akis_061 02017.pdf
CAP post 2020 – The future of food and farming – 3 key actors in strengthened AKIS with stronger knowledge flows: • (2) Researchers (broad concept but with a focus on impact on end-users) – bring in local/national science & networks (At EU level DG AGRI will continue research efforts under FP9) (3) Networks (again broad) reinforcing MS AKIS, and connecting with EU level AKIS - EIP/rural network): • Rural networks at national levels, local at regional levels • Thematic networks at national/regional/EU • Etc…? Bringing in and translating info from EU and other countries (in particular innovation projects OGs, MA, TN etc) and returning info from MS to EU to other MS

Application of zeolite to reduce nitrates concentration in growing media and soil
Areas like the Albenga plain in Liguria Region (Italy) are classified as “areas vulnerable to
nitrates” and are under specific legislation to limit nitrate contamination of superficial and
deep water bodies.
The addition of zeolite to the source of nitrogen can improve the nitrogen use efficiency
and reduce the environmental impact caused by nitrates leaching. Thanks to the specific atomic
structure of clinoptilolite (a kind of zeolite) nitrifying bacteria are stopped from entering the
tiny pores of the clinoptilolite. The ammonium is held internally on the cation-exchange sites
and is not likely to be leached out easily as water passes through. As a consequence,
nitrification and thus nitrate leaching is reduced. Secondly, zeolites improve nitrogen use
efficiency because they act as a medium that slowly releases fertilisers.
Trials in the Albenga area have demonstrated that the addition of zeolite to the soil substrate
both in open field (vegetables) and in greenhouse (ornamentals) lead to a reduction of nitrates
concentration in the substrate.
For the best result, add clinoptilolite at a rate of 3% weight/weight when preparing the
substrate for crop cultivation:
• for potted plants: mixed in the peat based substrate (normally added with slow
release fertiliser);
• for open field cultivation: mixed in the first 20-30 cm of soil through tillage.1.b) EIP Workprogramme Sep-Dec
