Sharing Agroecological Innovations

ETHZ D-USYS, Department of Environmental Systems Science

  • For many agroecologists, the sharing of one’s research is fundamentally important. But how can agroecological innovations be shared in ways that are accessible and efficient, and work for various types of stakeholders? In our co-design process, we addressed that question and decided on producing two videos and a set of cards that focus on tools such as design thinking and the real-life experience of a scientist. In addition, MML has offered four teachings on the following topics: infographics for lecturers and for students; storytelling for students and smartphone videography for students.
