Practice abstracts and factsheets

Twenty-four practice abstracts in the EIP Agri format based on PPILOW research will be produced. These will include practice abstracts on scenarios in partners’ countries, each produced in English and the national language. A “practice abstract” is a short summary which describes a main information/recommendation/practice that can be used by the end-users in their daily practice.
