Martin Collison was one of 70 people from Multi-actor projects across Europe to attend an event organised with the EU Commission at Copa-Cogeca to discuss the role that Thematic Networks have within the H202o and EIP Agro programmes in facilitating the dissemination of research and commercial best practice. Thematic Networks bring together innovative farmers and food businesses with industry, researchers, academics and advisory services to promote successful innovative best practices so that more farmers and food companies can benefit from them.
Thematic Networks complement investments by farmers and growers and in research, by making it easier for other businesses to learn from best practice. Collison and Associates are partners in both the SKIN Thematic Network which promotes best practices in short food chains and the ENABLING Thematic Network which promotes best practice in creating value in the bio-economy.
