Kurzfassung der Präsentation "From transfer to co-production of knowledge - enhancement of social
learning processes through transdisciplinary research":
"Mainstream approaches for relating science and sustainable management of natural resources are widely
based on the idea that scientific research produces solutions that should be transferred to policy
makers, business sector or farmer, whose main task is conceived of in taking over and spreading out the
solutions created by sciences. There are many examples of the such 'diffusion of innovations' developed
in agricultural research stations, which were than disseminated through a combined effort of policy
makers and extension services to farmers and other resource users. However, there is growing evidence
that mainly in the field of sustainable resource management this approach must be broadened.
Due to the complexity, uncertainty and controversy related to scientific knowledge, e.g. about organic
agriculture, transgenic crops, indigenous farming systems, science, rather than being the solution, is
just one among other ingredients, which has to be brought into interaction with other forms of knowledge
in order to start co-producing knowledge for more sustainable use of natural resources.
Co-production of knowledge turns into a social learning process that involves the different forms of
knowledge hold by researchers, farmers, extensionsts and policy makers. The potentials, limitations and
conditions for a successful co-production of knowledge for more sustainable management of natural
resources and how it can be enhanced by the application of transdisciplinary research will be shown on
the basis of case studies referring to the development of organic agriculture in Switzerland and a new
approach emphasising on the revitalization of indigenous farming systems in the Bolivian Andes."
