How can seminars, symposia, and conferences be better leveraged to ensure wide dissemination and practical application of scientific knowledge in farming communities?
Seminars, symposia and conferences can be leveraged for wide dissemination and practical application by shifting from lecture-heavy formats to problem-focused, action-oriented sessions that pair short evidence presentations with hands-on demonstrations, farmer-facing “how-to” clinics, live tool/product pilots, and funded follow-up extension packages; organizers should require concise policy/practice one-pagers, publish open-data toolkits after the event, fund small implementation grants to attendees, and track adoption metrics so meetings become launchpads for demonstrable field uptake rather than one-off talks.
