ACAAF - The Three Pillars
Pillar II — Capturing Market Opportunities
by Advancing Research Results
Among the challenges facing the agriculture
and agri-food sector is to make research readily transferable
into the marketplace, and thereby foster the development of
value added opportunities and generate economic growth. Governments
and non-government institutions alike have been making large
investments in agriculture and agri-food research, but moving
the results of this research into mainstream industry practice
requires adaptive research and various other pre-commercialization
activities.
Pillar II of the ACAAF program, "Capturing
Market Opportunities by Advancing Research Results,"
focuses on helping to create market opportunities within the
agriculture and agri-food sector by supporting the transfer
of research results from governments, industry, and educational
institutions. This pillar is aimed at leveraging research
results into market opportunities, strengthening the capacity
of the sector to commercialize research results, encouraging
business growth, and improving the sector's international
competitiveness.
