Abstract

By means of its policy and supportive tools, the European Commission has undertaken numerous initiatives to increase the innovativeness of the agricultural sector, with the overall aim of making Europe’s farms more competitive, environmentally sustainable and socially responsible (European Commission 2019). Recognising the importance of learning processes to innovation, in the past decade the European Commission commissioned a series of projects addressing agricultural knowledge and innovation systems (AKIS): Solinsa (Moschitz et al. 2015); FarmPath (Sutherland et al. 2015); PROAKIS (Knierim et al. 2017); AgriSpin (Koutsouris and Zacosta 2020); Agrilink (Labarthe et al. 2018); and I2 Connect. This special issue presents recent European Commissionfunded research into on-farm demonstration, undertaken through the Horizon 2020 PLAID (Peer-to-peer learning: Accessing innovation through demonstration), AgriDemo-F2F (building an interactive agridemo-hub community: enhancing peer-to-peer learning), and NEFERTITI (Networking European Farms to Enhance Cross Fertilisation and Innovation Uptake through Demonstration) projects, jointly branded ‘FarmDemo’. The European Commission (2014, 3) defines a demonstration project/activity as a:

农场演示：实现对等学习

欧盟委员会通过其政策和支持工具，采取了许多举措来提高农业部门的创新性，总体目标是使欧洲的农场更具竞争力、环境可持续性和社会责任感（欧盟委员会2019）。认识到学习过程对创新的重要性，在过去十年中，欧盟委员会委托开展了一系列涉及农业知识和创新系统的项目：Solinsa（Moschitz等人，2015）；FarmPath（Sutherland等人，2015）；PROAKIS（Knierim等人，2017）；AgriSpin（Koutsouris和Zacosta，2020）；Agrilink（Labarthe等人，2018）；和I2连接。本特刊介绍了欧盟委员会最近资助的农场示范研究，该研究通过地平线2020 PLAID（对等学习：通过示范获得创新）、AgriDemo-F2F（建立互动农业示范中心社区：加强对等学习）、，以及NEFERTITI（通过示范加强欧洲农场的交叉施肥和创新吸收）项目，联合品牌为“FarmDemo”。欧盟委员会（2014，3）将示范项目/活动定义为：

期刊介绍： The Journal of Agricultural Education & Extension is published to inform experts who do or use research on agricultural education and extension about research conducted in this field worldwide. Information about this research is needed to improve policies, strategies, methods and practices for agricultural education and extension. The Journal of Agricultural Education & Extension accepts authorative and well-referenced scientific articles within the field of agricultural education and extension after a double-blind peer review process. Agricultural education and extension faces profound change, and therefore its core area of attention is moving towards communication, competence development and performance improvement for a wide variety of fields and audiences, most of which can be studied from a multi-disciplinary perspective, including: -Communication for Development- Competence Management and Development- Corporate Social Responsibility and Human Resource Development- Design and Implementation of Competence–based Education- Environmental and Natural Resource Management- Entrepreneurship and Learning- Facilitating Multiple-Stakeholder Processes- Health and Society- Innovation of Agricultural-Technical Education- Innovation Systems and Learning- Integrated Rural Development- Interdisciplinary and Social Learning- Learning, Conflict and Decision Making- Poverty Reduction- Performance Improvement- Sustainable Agricultural Production
