They take stock of the state of play in research and practice and highlight possible solutions to the problems identified. Based on this, the Focus Groups suggest and prioritise innovative actions. They identify ideas for applied research and for testing solutions in the field, involving farmers, advisers, the industry and other relevant stakeholders, and propose ways to disseminate good practices.
