The Power of Demonstration Cases in FrontAg Nexus
Demonstration cases in FrontAg Nexus are socio-innovative adaptation experiments that showcase the practical implementation and impact of frontier agricultural innovations. These cases allow us to assess different production systems such as hydroponics, aquaponics, insect farming, and vermiculture/vermicomposting in diverse contexts.

Knowledge Generation and Policy Recommendations:
By studying and analysing the demonstration cases, FrontAg Nexus aims to generate evidence-based knowledge and identify best practices.
Findings from these cases will inform policy recommendations for scaling up frontier agriculture in the region, promoting sustainable agriculture and the water-energy-food-ecosystems (WEFE) Nexus approach.
Bridging Theory and Practice:
Demonstration cases serve as practical models that can be replicated and expanded, driving the adoption and diffusion of innovative farming practices.
They act as living laboratories where stakeholders can observe, learn, and collaborate, bridging the gap between theory and practice.
Inspiring Stakeholders and Building Resilience:
Demonstration cases inspire and empower stakeholders, including farmers, researchers, policymakers, and industry players, to embrace frontier agriculture as a viable solution.
These cases contribute to building knowledge, capacity, and resilience within the agricultural sector, fostering sustainable and inclusive development.
