Emphasising the importance of peer-to-peer learning in agri-food innovation uptake and building on the experience of the H2020 NEFERTITI: On-Farm  demonstrations  and  peer-to-peer  learning  are  essential  to  ensure  new  and  innovative solutions  and are widely  deployed and  adopted by  farmers and  the  farming  sector.  With  a strong commitment  under  the  new  Green  Deal,  European  Farmers  and  the  farming  sector  at  large  face ambitious  environmental  and  sustainability  targets.  

The  workshop  is  intended  to  make  a  strong contribution to the improvement and broader adoption of policy tools at the national and regional levels. The session builds on the experience of three Horizon 2020 projects (NEFERTITI, which will run until 2022;  AGRIDEMO  and  PLAID).  

This  "family"  of  H2020  projects  has  provided  the  basis  for  an interconnected European community of Demo(nstration) Farms. Nevertheless, there is still a gap in how policies support the role of Demo farms and several practical and  legal  issues  continue  to  hinder  the  broad  adoption  of  the  concept  in  peer-to-peer  learning facilities for farmers.

The workshop provides relevant opportunities for Regional and Local policymakers to understand the importance of, and the need to support Demo Farms, providing  interactive discussion with some outstanding hands-on examples from the practice.
