- What can we learn from the co-innovation process of the Roundel laying hen husbandry system in the Netherlands?
Severine van Bommel
This presentation analyses the co-innovation process of the Dutch sustainable laying hen husbandry system ‘the Roundel’. When studying such co-innovations, the tendency has been to look at them from the perspective of the (governmental) objectives and problem definitions that led to their emergence. Instead, this study starts from the practices and perspectives of societal actors who tried to achieve something including their relationships with their nonhuman environment (laying hens, technology, etc.). This shows how societal agents strove to solve problems and achieve innovation, how they went about accessing relevant expertise, how they experienced governmental organizations, and how their relationships with ‘happy’ hens influenced their quest to induce change. I conclude by reflecting on 1) how the co-innovation changed the relations between people as well as people and non-human actors; 2) what the consequences of this are in terms of resilience of agro systems.
This presentation is part of a seminar series within SAFS covering Rural Development, Agricultural Economics and Agribusiness. The seminars include a range of interesting topics relating to ongoing or completed research and will be held fortnightly at Tuesday lunchtimes.
NOTE: This seminar is held at St Lucia , but will also be available via videolink in Room 8117-103, Gatton Campus.
