Abstract
Innovation is vital in developing a climate robust way of agriculture. But solely innovation is not enough. That innovation must also be available for upscaling to other regions. The innovations need to be approachable, understandable, and affordable for the farmers that will have to implement them. Therefore, farmers and other agricultural institutions play a big role in the implementation of innovation. This research wants to find out how the interaction and co-creation of knowledge between the farmers and policymakers & knowledge institutions within the KLIMAP project is. This is done by conducting online interviews with policymakers from various levels of government, researchers from knowledge institutions and a farmer. The result would be that the interaction and co-creation of knowledge between van de Borne and knowledge institutions & policymakers within Klimap casus de Reusel are going well. Van de Borne is seen as a forerunner and the hope is that other farmers are learning from him. But the other farmers are not involved in the co-creation of knowledge. Therefore more focus on the involvement of the other farmers is needed. Van de Borne tries to involve the other farmers more with his precision academy. This is an opportunity for the knowledge institutions and policymakers to support those efforts.
