What was the challenge/problem addressed?
Encourage farmers to adopt a change of practice to limit the use of chemical products. for the benefit of all, but they are the only ones who can put it into practice.
How did you solve the problem?
Taking a multi-factorial approach that broadly questions the players in the value chaine : socio-économic survey, Research and demonstration trials on farms in parallel, wide distribution to advisors who lead producer groups
What is innovative in your practical case?
This innovation is based on technological innovation based on semiochemicals, a categorization of biocontrol wich is less known and so less used
What are the success factors in solving the problem?
That the proposed strategy is economically viable, easy to implement, effective and compatible with their current practice
Lessons learned
it is important to involve all stakeholders at the start of the project
What role does the advisor or advisory service play with the practical case?
allows the results to be disseminated on a larger scale and to monitor the evolution of the adoption of the practice for its territory
Can your approach be transferred and/or adapted for other innovation challenges and regions?
Yes
Estimated transferability on a scale from 1 to 5
(where 1 is easy and 5 very difficult)
2
