No‐tillage farming: co‐creation of innovation through network building

Flurina Schneider, David Steiger, Thomas Ledermann, P. S. Fry, Stephan Rist · 2010 · Land Degradation and Development

Summary. No-tillage farming development in Switzerland involves complex networks of farmers, experts, scientists, and equipment working together to create innovation. Despite economic and environmental benefits, no-tillage spreads slowly because it requires radical transformations in farm equipment, work practices, institutional arrangements, and farmers' professional identities. Policy works best as a mediator facilitating these reciprocal translations rather than imposing top-down directives.
