The European Union (EU) promotes collaboration across functions and borders in its funded innovation projects, which are seen as complex collaboration to co-create knowledge. This requires the engagement of multiple stakeholders throughout the duration of the project. To probe complexity in EU-funded innovation projects the research question is: How does complexity affect the co-creation of knowledge in innovation projects, according to project participants?

The overall objective of the Comprehensive Assessment of the Agricultural Sector (CAAS) is to provide an evidence base to enable appropriate strategic policy responses by the Government of Liberia (GoL) and its development partners in order to maximize the contribution of the agriculture sector to the Government's overarching policy objectives. Given the strong relationship between growth in agricultural productivity and poverty reduction, future efforts in Liberia need to focus on productivity enhancing measures with a pro-poor focus that increase incomes.

Automation of essential processes in agriculture is becoming widespread, especially when fast action is required. However, some processes that could greatly benefit from some degree of automation have such difficult characteristics, that even small improvements pose a great challenge. This is the case of fish disease diagnosis, a problem of great economic, social and ecological interest. Difficult problems like this often require a interdisciplinary approach to be tackled properly, as multifaceted issues can greatly benefit from the inclusion of different perspectives.
Esta presentación muestra como la historieta puede ser un medio de divulgación del conocimiento agrícola para los productores.
Se indagan las respuestas de comunidades campesinas indígenas a las variaciones climáticas locales a partir de un caso en Chilchota, Michoacán, México. Es importante conocer los procesos emergentes que afectan la capacidad de producir parte de sus alimentos, en tanto que pueden elevar más el contexto de vulnerabilidad de dichas comunidades. Se presentan siete tipos de adaptaciones de los campesinos, los factores que inciden en la capacidad adaptativa y las diferenciaciones socio-productivas de los agricultores.
