The event is aimed to promote knowledge sharing in support of agricultural innovation. The promotion of agricultural innovation is the main objective of the Tropical Agriculture Platform (TAP), a G20 initiative launched in 2012, led by FAO and financially supported by the European Union. TAPipedia, the knowledge hub developed in the context of TAP, is positioning itself as the reference gateway for innovation-related practices, stories and case studies, and aims to reach a broader audience and enrich its repository. Participants will be introduced to TAPipedia and to collaborative experiences in support of knowledge sharing on agricultural innovation. The event will feature a panel discussion to strategize the use of online platforms for capacity development for agricultural innovation and possible future developments.
