Responding to this, and to the growing severity of global threats to agricultural and food systems, national and international research funders are increasingly demanding that funded projects achieve real-world transformation of farming systems towards true sustainability and resilience. This development is not only a new funding opportunity for researchers. Because separating the roles of knowledge generation and knowledge exchange with practice will often fail to achieve the necessary transformation, (at least some) researchers will need to engage in this transdisciplinary process of transformative agricultural research. As a consequence, the roles of these researchers need to shift towards stronger integration in farming practice, and deeper exchange with practitioners, adding a new key role to teaching and research. We argue that meeting the goals of the mission of transformative research in agriculture requires three essential freedoms. First, researchers need to be free to engage in this transformative research. This entails a freed mindset, which enables researchers to leave behind traditional roles, e.g. for true knowledge exchange, co-design of projects, and learning from farmers. In addition, there needs to be a stronger appreciation for transdisciplinary and transformative research in the research community, accompanied by a reduced pressure to perform in other currently dominating assessment categories. Second, farmers need to be free to engage in this process as well. Again, this requires an open mindset, e.g. to engage in, and learn from collaborative research, but also available funds and time to engage in the process. Third, transformative agricultural research needs freedom in the project structure and in administrative rules. This includes the permission to fail and to tolerate errors, so that the people involved in the process are able to learn from mistakes. In addition, this is required so that projects are not set up to avoid risks, and can really be transformative and contain innovative elements. Finally, funders will need to show trust in the parties and to reduce administrative burden. Within this framework we discuss the success factors and limitations of transformative agricultural research using examples from various recent national and international projects.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{BrucknerKlingDroscha2021, author = {Bruckner, August and Kling, Charlotte and Droscha, Anne}, title = {Concepts to include farmers as co-researchers - the living lab approach of the project "NutriNet"}, series = {Landscape 2021 Diversity for sustainable and resilient agriculture, Online conference, 20.-22.09.2021}, booktitle = {Landscape 2021 Diversity for sustainable and resilient agriculture, Online conference, 20.-22.09.2021}, editor = {Leibniz-Zentrum f{\"u}r Agrarlandschaftsforschung (ZALF),}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:eb1-opus-7698}, pages = {49}, year = {2021}, abstract = {A key characteristic of current and future challenges towards a climate-resilient and sustainable agricultural landscape is their complexity, that leads to difficulties in implementation of scientific findings in agricultural practice. The implementation of new strategies in nutrient management on organic farms is such a complex challenge due to regional differences in perception and soil resources as well as individual prerequisites on farms. The project "NutriNet: competence- and co-research network for development of nutrient management in organic farming" meets this challenge by building a living lab according to Dell'Erra \& Landoni (2014) and Rose et al. (2018) and aims i) to derive region-specific nutrient management advice for organic farms from scientific findings in field trials (nutrient management research), ii) to ensure implementation of these advice through group motivation and enable an exchange of expert knowledge in Field Schools (transformative research), iii) as well as to evaluate key methods, roles, competences and resources for an implementation-oriented co-research process (process research). Sixty farmers organized in six regions in Germany build the basis of the "NutriNet" living lab, each accompanied by a regional consultant and a group of scientists on a joint level. All actors are involved in the co-research process to varying degrees depending on the stage of the process and can take on different roles. Process steps are ideation, development of the experimental question and design, trial implementation, data analysis, interpretation of data and implementation and transfer of results. The living lab character is especially addressed in the structure of the co-research process for conducting field trials in the "NutriNet" project as it describes a learning system within the system. The co-research concept allows to take different experimental designs into account, namely field trials with a demonstrative character that provide methodological skills for farmers and pre-test results as well as field trials with spatial and temporal repetitions that meet scientific requirements. In order to reduce the scientific framework conditions to such an extent that, on the one hand, scientifically valid results and, on the other hand, the highest possible feasibility of the experiments by the farmers can be guaranteed, so-called regional and network trials are being tested in NutriNet. The concept is based on taking randomization and spatial repetition into account by repeatedly setting up the trial at several locations. In order to take environmental influences (soil, climate) into account, the possible sites are divided into groups according to site characteristics by using a cluster analysis. By involving not only one but many farmers throughout the whole co-research process and enabling exchange among them in Field-Schools, methodological training and implementation of findings are addressed as a part of the research. After one year of field trials two regional trials with ten and seven farmers were set up as well as one network trial on thirteen farms in four regions. Methodological evaluation of the process led to adjustments in experimental design, data collection and coordination between experts that are implemented in a new series of network trials starting in autumn 2021.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{StegmannSchulzBruckneretal.2023, author = {Stegmann, W and Schulz, H and Bruckner, August and Droscha, A}, title = {Auswirkungen von Kleegrasmulch auf die Stickstoffdynamik und den Ertrag von Kartoffeln}, series = {One Step Ahead - einen Schritt voraus! : Beitr{\"a}ge zur 16.
