Innovation Challenge “Advisory for Agroecology”

17 May - 2022. Innovation Challenge “Advisory for Agroecology” by GIZ
It featured six innovations in advisory that will provide the basis for a discussion on how to bridge the
gap between science and practice.

Although the relevance of agroecological farm and management approaches for achieving sustainable development goals is widely acknowledged, a gap persists regarding their implementation. Agroecological approaches require the co-creation of knowledge and exchange at eye level between scientist, extensionists and farmers. But how to achieve this goal?

The jury has selected six semi-finalists. 

Representatives from science, advisories, and farming reflected on their approaches, especially with regards to bridging the gap between science and practice.

    Agriculture (CIAT)
  • Rasheed Sulaiman - Center for Research on Innovation and Science Policy (CRISP) + GFRAS
