Organic Knowledge Network on Monogastric Animal Feed (H2020-RUR-CSA-773911)
OK-Net EcoFeed (link is external) is funded within the EU Horizon 2020 program, started in January 2018 and runs for 3 years until December 2020. The project has 19 partners covering 11 European countries. The consortium includes multiple actors including feed processors and mills, farmers and farmer’s organizations, research institutes, universities and advisory agencies.
100% use of organic and regional feed for monogastrics
General objectives
The project will synthesize the scientific and practical knowledge available about organic and regional feed production for monogastrics.
It will create a European network of innovation groups to facilitate exchange and co-creation of knowledge among farmers, business actors, researchers and advisors.
It will collect end-user material and develop new tools adapted to the needs of farmers and business actors. All material and tools will be summarized in the EIP common format for practice abstracts.
Finally, the project will extend the OK-Net knowledge platform (farmknowledge.org) to include the topic of monogastric animal feed.
Role of the University of Cordoba
• Co-ordinate and facilitate the interaction and exchange between the national and regional practitioner’s innovation groups (IG) and international thematic groups (TG).
• Develop a framework that facilitates structured data collection and comparison on the experiences around organic feed for monogastrics based on practitioner’s tacit knowledge.
• Test innovative end-user material, tools and innovations; and understand reasons for acceptance and successful implementation. • Promote the project and its outcomes via the innovation groups at regional and national levels.
