Innovation is currently presented as one of the best assets in the agri-food sector to overcome the challenges posed by climate change, on the one hand, and the transformation of the market and its consumption patterns, on the other. Through it, we hope to find continuous adaptation to the various changes occurring and to take advantage of the new opportunities that arise for the agricultural, forestry, and livestock sectors.

Horizon 2020 (H2020) is the framework program for European research and innovation, and its main objective is to ensure Europe's global competitiveness in R&D&I. H2020 funds the i2connect project , which promotes interactive innovation processes in agriculture and forestry by enhancing the skills of advisors and their organizations to engage and support European farmers and foresters. Ultimately, the i2connect project seeks to create networks and synergies between all these stakeholders through innovation advisory services.
