Objective & Description

NUTRI-KNOW aims to enhance the cross-border impact of EIP-AGRI Operational Groups (OGs) in nutrient management by making practical knowledge accessible and actionable for farmers and practitioners. The project brings together 12 OGs from Spain, Italy, Belgium, and Ireland, covering the full nutrient management chain—from livestock farming to fertilizer application.

Through a five-step methodology, NUTRI-KNOW collects and analyses OG outcomes, assesses the current landscape, translates findings into farmer-friendly formats, shares them via trusted channels, and fosters collaboration through a Community of Practice. The project will also deliver a Results Amplification Methodology to guide the scaling and replication of successful approaches in other agricultural domains.

Services provided by WE&B

Under the Project, WE&B successfully developed/delivered the following services:
• Leading Work Package 2, focused on aligning EIP-AGRI OG outcomes with stakeholder needs through a co-creation process.
• Assess alignment between OG results and current EU policies, market trends, and legislative frameworks.
• Identify sector needs by engaging with farmers and stakeholders to capture pressing challenges and opportunities.
• Map actors and networks involved in nutrient management to understand connections and enhance collaboration.
• Develop a thematic analysis methodology to tailor knowledge to regional and sectoral contexts.
• Prevent duplication by reviewing existing and past projects to ensure complementarity and added value.
