Agri-environmental knowledge management and networks of practice: a workshop background paper

INTRODUCTION The workshop session was designed to capture and map the thinking of conference participants on the key components of a knowledge management system for hedgerows. It seeks to identify which people and what types of knowledge are involved in the various knowledge exchanges and the nature of the exchanges between those involved. The session drew on our experiences of knowledge exchange processes in environmental settings when working with policymakers, researchers, business and NGOs across a number of participatory research projects.
