Quel a été le défi/problème abordé?
The main goal of the project is to form a bridge between farmers and the R&D sector and give a helping in knowledge transfer. There is a large scale of ready-to-use (but not used) new techniques and innovations to reduce the very vulnerable market situation and raise the profitability in sheep breeding.

The number of the registered agricultural advisors and instructors could mean a solid basis to improve the knowledge-transfer and innovation in the sector. The advisors and other players have a demand for interactive, practice-oriented trainings, etc., but as long as the advisors do not possess appropriate methodological competences, there is no efficient knowledge-transfer towards the farmers.
