The idea behind the approach of AgriSpin project is that all partners have their own experiences, ideas and approaches which are worth sharing with others. Nobody pretends to know best. A golden standard or silver bullet for stimulating innovations does not exist. Every partner is working in a context that has been historically grown and that has its cultural particularities. But there is a lot to learn from exchanging experiences between these different systems, and that is what the project intends to facilitate. The fifteen partners in the consortium are mainly farmer’s organisations and farm advisory services, with an intermediate role between farmers, researchers and other stakeholders. Three of these partners are scientific institutes with a focus on knowledge systems in agriculture. One is an international network of regional partners in biological farming, and there is also one European network of regional partners in the German speaking area. In the next paragraph all partners present themselves in brief. The focus is on regional systems. This is because in many countries there are considerable differences in cultures between different regions, as well as organisational structures. Often agricultural policies are a regional affair.
