Identifying potential eco-innovations

Identifying potential eco-innovations is the main objective of this project. Looking back at earlier systems and their respective crisis will help recast the recent policy rupture in a historical perspective.

The project will research the main barriers (institutional lock-in, inadequate perceptions) to the emergence of eco-innovative products, and identify potential solutions to those barriers.

Results, focusing on the feasibility and promotion of niche markets for selected goods and services, will include a diagnostic of the farming dynamics and decision-aid tools.
