The EU-FarmBook Platform operates based on the principles of the Knowledge Flows.
The EU-FarmBook Knowledge Flows is divided into four phases:
In this process, each element of the Agricultural Knowledge and Innovation Systems (AKIS) plays its role.
In this process, each element of the Agricultural Knowledge and Innovation Systems (AKIS) plays its role.
EU-FarmBook is an under-development online platform that gathers and provides practice-oriented materials from the domain of agriculture and forestry.
Who can contribute?
A contributor is a partner or coordinator of an H2020/Horizon Europe project or Operational Group who produces, uploads, or reuses practice-oriented materials.
Why to contribute?

Fosters their transposition into practice.
Ensures their ready availability.
Boosts their visibility through a customizable project page
Respects authors rights.

Funded and endorsed by the European Commission
Open-access and free of maintenance or hosting fees.
What is a practice-oriented material?
A practice-oriented material or knowledge object refers to documents, videos, presentations, or other items developed under research and innovation projects funded by the EU (Horizon 2020 and Horizon Europe Framework Programmes or EIP-AGRI Operational Groups) or available at National and/or Regional Knowledge Reservoirs. A practice-oriented material should address needs of farmers, foresters, and advisors, and be in non-technical and/or non-political language.
