The object of the project is to provide targeted advice to the Argentine Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries (MAGyP) in the area of innovations for the promotion of a sustainable, environmentally and climate-friendly future-oriented agricultural economy. In particular, this involves the development of political recommendations for action in the area of institutional innovation promotion, advice on the establishment of an AgTech platform, the organisation of innovation competitions and dialogue events at national and provincial level, scientific expert exchanges and targeted expert assignments. In addition, innovations are to be disseminated between experts from both countries and applied on a pilot basis in research institutes and selected enterprises.
The expert dialogue comprises three result areas (EB).
EB 1 focuses on advising the MAGyP on the institutional framework conditions for innovation promotion.
EB 2 advises the Ministry on the systemic and organisational development, establishment and institutional anchoring of an AgTech platform with the involvement of private-sector and scientific actors. In this context, a help desk and topic- and technology-specific working groups are being set up and innovation events organised.
In EB 3, the focus is on supporting research cooperation for the dissemination of innovations in sustainable agricultural production and use systems. German and Argentinean applied research institutions play a central role here. In this context, the project works together with the Argentine Institute for Agricultural Technology (INTA). The aim is primarily to disseminate knowledge on the practical application of innovations, not to directly promote research.
