12 A. Topsector policy: public private partnerships

13 New Public Private Partnerships Breed4Food Feed4Foodure 1Health4Food Sustainable Dairy Chain Cooperating Pork Chain Poultry4Food

14 B. Focus on application: Innovation centres Dairy Campus Pig Innovation centre Sterksel Thematic knowledge centre de Marke

15 Positioning of innovation centres Applied research: Essential link in the knowledge chain Wageningen UR. Breeding ground for innovations in cooperation with entrepreneurs (partnerships). Training site for the farmer of the future Knowledge exchange in cooperation with Dutch farmers association (Pigs network, Dairy Academy).

16 Dairy Campus as a network organization

17 Knowledge Transfer Centre De Marke

18 What kind of research? Applied research with a focus to mitigate environmental issues. For example: e=player_detailpage EU-standard: 50 mg NO 3- /liter Nitrate levels in upper groundwater in sandy, clay and peat soils,

19 C. Livestock farming with care

20 High Value Netherlands Livestock Sector Traditionally efficient and innovative: smart breeding customized feed modern housing animal welfare quality control But also criticized

21 Challenge: Livestock Farming with Care

22 3. Anticipating on Horizon 2020

23 Anticipating on H2020 Our strategy: Focus on core areas Use our strength (interdisciplinary approach) Balanced consortia (participation of different regions) More focus on implementation =Connecting Dutch private partner(ships) to EU funded projects in order to enhance application of knowledge. Partners of Pig Innovation Centre Sterksel Partners of Dairy Campus Partners of de Marke

24 EIP agriculture productivity & sustainability Our strategy: Organizing thematic groups within existing partnerships (Innovation centres - Dutch Federation of agriculture) Connect them to European thematic networks Start with pilot in Dairy regional innovation Regional innovation new knowledge research questions Research in H2020

25 Example: De Marke as climate smart dairy farm Remaining focus on mitigation (how to prevent climatic change): focus on CO2/CH4 reduction, reduction of phosphorous and nitrogen emissions etc. New: focus on adaptation (how to deal with climatic change as dairy farmer): e.g. in field of water management, crop growth (maize), pests & diseases Linking De Marke and it s network with other experimental farms abroad (EU-financing?)

26 Thank you for your attention.
