🌱 Glad to be part of this event where I joined Andy Hall for overseas work in Vietnam as part of the #Aus4Innovation program! We had the chance to exchange valuable insights based on case studies from Australia and Vietnam. I have shared some lessons we learned from the #PestREADI project on how to better understand the gaps in Agri-Innovation Systems through a rapid diagnostic study to help inform the co-design of an information-sharing platform to promote area-wide IPM. Lot of learning from other case studies presented on how they are addressing sustainability challenges through institutional innovation by reorganising networks of actors through farmers’ clubs and similar innovation platforms and how digital tools are helping them exchange information. Often context-specific innovative strategies to deal with similar and complex challenges we are facing in both countries. Identifying what works and elevating these findings to the policy level can be a powerful tool for building resilient, sustainable agricultural innovation systems. https://lnkd.in/dDjhFBak
