The Farm Journal Foundation has commissioned this policy brief to inform an advocacy strategy in the EU in support of Agriculture R&D.
It is against that background that this policy brief first captures the EU innovation and research public expenditure’s trends over the past decades with a focus on agriculture R&D after having identified the relevant EU policies for agriculture innovation in the European Union (chapter 2).
It then proposes a snapshot of Member states’ national expenditures (chapter 3) and list the upcoming key political milestones affecting agriculture R&D policies (chapter 3).
It finally informs possible pathways for advocacy by including a map of key influencers of public research and innovation in Europe with a view to inform coalition building and partnerships (chapter 4).
