About the project: AgriDemo-F2F- Building an interactive AgriDemo-Hub community: enhancing farmer-to-farmer learning

The overall aim of Agridemo FtF is to enhance peer to peer learning, within the commercial farming community. This overall aim will be realized through the following general objectives:

1. Understanding the role of European commercial demonstration farms in the application of scientific findings and the spreading of best practices and innovative farming approaches within the farming community
2. Building on this understanding, evidence and tool for organizing effective farmer to farmer learning approaches will be synthesized and made available to end users
3. Opportunities will be identified and supported for strengthening these activities  i) by the project consortium building an Agridemo-Hub community, and ii) by the wider AKIS (Agricultural Knowledge and Innovation Systems) and policies in order to maximize impact.
