Interested in ways innovation and the pace of practice change can be fostered? Then this Webinar, presented by Dr James Turner from AgResearch in New Zealand, is for you.
It introduces work from the Primary Innovation project, led by James, who is a Senior Resource Economist. The project worked with a cross discipline team (pastoral, horticulture and forestry), involving eleven industry based organisations and a Community of Practice of forty-four members who formed an innovation network. James shares the principles and processes they have used and their key learnings.
