How to Maximise Impact

How to Maximise Impact

Suppose we want to make sure that RADIANT project will generate an impact, namely contributing to the transition towards a more agrobiodiverse paradigm by showcasing that the transition is wise, possible, and worth it (economically, environmentally, nutritionally and socially). In that case, we need to ensure that at least some of the RADIANT's results will be used by the actors of the relevant value chains after the end of the project. 
RADIANT’s main results go from new UCs, such as Henry Taylor’s Scottish Bean, to new legume protein compounds and surrogates, from a traceability system based on blockchain to guidelines for the application of a new labelling system for UCs, passing through the generation of a dataset of selected UCs.

To ensure the use of these results, we must identify the problems these novel solutions are addressing, who are the ones who feel this problem the most (the users and/or your “customers”), the unique value proposition (what makes the novel solution much better than current ones) and to identify how we are planning to reach them out (business model and distribution channels).  Task 7.5 will define a business model and plan which provide an answer to the above-mentioned issues. The final exploitation plan, incorporating all these models and plans, will be shared with all RADIANT partners.

To these results are utilized after the project ends, it is necessary to engage with the owners of the results (some of RADIANT’s partners) and obtain their willingness/involvement in working together, following the guidelines provided in the exploitation plan. This will ensure that the work carried out in RADIANT can lead to long-term beneficial changes and contribute to increasing biodiversity in the European agri-food sector.
