2. La EIP-Agri es una iniciativa integrada dentro de la Unión por la
Innovacion en el marco de la Estrategia EU 2020 para fomentar un
desarrollo para Europa: inteligente, integrador y sostenible
Objetivos:
Fortalecer la competitividad del sector agro-alimentario, líder en
procesos y productos que contribuya a la seguridad alimentaria global.
Incrementar la productividad a la vez que se asegura la gestión
sostenible de los recursos
Adaptarse a las implicaciones del Cambio Climático y contribuir a la
mitigación reduciendo los GEI.
Acelerar la transferencia del conocimiento desde la investigación a las
explotaciones agrarias asegurando la retroalimentación sobre las
necesidades básicas de la ciencia. (Aproximación Bottom-Up)

3. Orígenes de la EIP-AGRI
En octubre de 2008, la presidencia francesa de la UE organizó un taller acerca
del fortalecimiento de los vínculos entre el conocimiento y la innovación agraria
en Europa. Se concluyó que la agricultura y la agro-industria europea necesitaba
conocimiento procedente de muy diversas fuentes para poder competir con
productos de calidad en un mundo globalizado.
Y se plantearon varias cuestiones:
Cómo mantener un nivel adecuado científico-técnico entre los distintos
actores de la cadena de innovación agroalimentaria que permita responder a los
cambios globales y locales y mejorar los conocimientos emprendedores
Cómo orientar el trabajo de desarrollo y vincularlo con la formación continua.
Cómo se puede plantear una nueva PAC apoyada por robustos sistemas de
innovación agroalimentarios.

4. Orígenes de la EIP-AGRI
Posteriormente desde el Grupo de Trabajo Estratégico (SWG) sobre AKIS del
comité SCAR, se avanzó sobre estas cuestiones haciendo un análisis de la
situación de los sistemas AKIS en Europa:
AKIS 1-Key messages
Systems very different between countries, regions and sectors.
No guarantee they are fit to challenges posed by the need to increase productivity
and sustainability.
Different parts of AKIS face different challenges and are governed by different
incentives:
•Education: weakly connected to Research, extension &Business.
•Applied research: reviewed on scientific output, much less on practical relevance.
Networking and cooperation between research and extension or farmers groups is
crucial
Agenda setting by farmers and food business more Important than just more
research dissemination
CAP should allocate budget to encourage innovation driven research with
empowerment of (groups of) farmers
H2020 could focus on science-driven agricultural Research
Linkage between H2020 and CAP should guarantee the collaboration between both
types

AKIS 2-Key messages
Innovation by interaction in networks Innovation as a process has strong learning aspects: learn how
to do new things, bottom-up.
Thematically-focused learning networks of different actors can help.
Generating learning and innovation through interactions between the involved actors.
Members can include farmers, extension workers, food industry, researchers, government and NGO
representatives and other stakeholders.
AKIS need to innovate themselves and adopt new ways of working to address the challenges.
Governments can stimulate innovation by implementing the EIP through operational groups that work
in a participatory way. This should be translated in an instrument portfolio that:
•Gives incentives for research, development and innovation;
•Stimulates knowledge exchange, adoption of innovation, technical application in the production
process;
•Supports the activities of facilitators, innovation brokers and tutoring paths for farmers to
implement innovations;
•Value the input and knowledge of farmers;
•Supports operational groups also to develop cross-border interactions;
•Invests in AKIS-subsystems that have been underdeveloped in the specific national or regional
situation.

The multi-actor approach* aims at more demand-driven innovation through the genuine and
sufficient involvement of various actors (end-users such as farmers/farmers' groups, fishers/fisher's
groups, advisors, enterprises, etc.) all along the project: from the participation in the planning of work and
experiments, their execution up until the dissemination of results and a possible demonstration phase. The
adequate choice of key actors with complementary types of knowledge (scientific and practical) should be
reflected in the consortium and in the description of the project concept, and result in a broad
implementation of project results. The multi-actor approach is more than a strong dissemination
requirement or than what a broad stakeholders' board can deliver: it should be illustrated in the project
proposal with sufficient quantity and quality of knowledge exchange activities and a clear role for the
different actors in the work. This should generate innovative solutions that are more likely to be applied
thanks to cross-fertilisation of ideas between actors, co-creation and generation of co-ownership for
eventual results. A multi-actor project proposal needs to demonstrate how the project proposal's objectives
and planning are targeted to needs / problems and opportunities of end-users, and its complementarity with
existing research and best practices. The project should result in some practical knowledge which is easily
understandable and accessible, and substantial in qualitative and quantitative terms. As a minimum, this
material should feed into the European Innovation Partnership (EIP) 'Agricultural Productivity and
Sustainability' for broad dissemination as 'practice abstracts' in the common EIP format for practitioners5.
Facilitation/mediation between the different types of actors and involvement of relevant interactive
innovation groups operating in the EIP context, such as EIP Operational Groups funded under Rural
Development Programmes, are strongly recommended. For projects on fisheries, aquaculture, marine and
inland water issues or other areas not covered by the EIP-AGRI, other similarly effective solutions for
dissemination should be explored.
