13 METKA: Profitable Energy from the Forest Core of the project Research and development project the goal is increased profitability and better quality in the supply chain for forest energy the development of the forest energy supply chain will benefit directly from the research, through e.g. correct equipment choices and logistics control It is necessary to get wood chip fuel to user locations at a competitive price. The forest energy supply chain must also be profitable for all parties. The large forest management associations Kanta-Häme and Päijät- Häme, TTS (Työtehoseura), and the Finnish Forest Research Institute (Metla) are all involved in the cooperation project as research institutes The results will be immediately put into use in the forest energy supply chain The project created an operational model for forest energy based on the research results Sivu

17 Environmental management and water protection in agriculture in Pirkanmaa Environment compass YMPÄRISTÖKOMPASSI PROJECT Poor quality of surface water in agricultural areas was a challenge; a pilot area was selected in the municipality of Urjala. 2. Drainage basin -specific, farm-oriented design: a complete information package on cultivation and the environment shown on maps is tailored to the farmer by taking advantage of e.g. GIS data. Financial and environmentally sustainable solutions for developing cultivation and managing the agricultural environment are found through farm-specific guidance. The goal is to find practical solutions and actions through cooperation between experts from different fields. Public events are also organised in participatory planning.

18 The Responsible Pork Production project is a development project implemented in Varsinais-Suomi and Satakunta. The areas' pork producers form the target group for this project. The project is divided into entities, the goals of which are to improve feeding, spend fixed costs more efficiently and improve documentation as well as the sections of production responsibility. The project has utilized its own experts, HK Agri's experts, MTT's researchers as well as other expert services. The website was created in order for the -producer to achieve an competitive cost level -pig to receive good care -consumer to receive high-quality products It will bring the highest level of success if all stakeholders in the pork industry have a common vision on the best practices of production. On the website, you will find a handbook that describes the best practices of pork production in terms of feeding, care, construction and ventilation. Russian and English translations have been created for feeding and care. Their aim is to describe the best Finnish practices also to foreign piggery employees. The target groups and ideas of the project We hope that the manual is read and used by: pork producers workforce employed by piggeries veterinarians the meat production industry the feed industry and other input producers and input marketers agricultural experts banks and financiers educational institutes agricultural lobbyists other people interested in production Sivu

20 Rural Innovation Camps Innovation camps Summary Innovation Camps are a tool to encourage the development of new ideas, products and services and also different ways of working in rural areas. Finnish NSU has arranged both national and regional camps. They have brought together specialists and entrepreneurs to develop innovative solutions to the threats and opportunities apparent in Finnish rural areas. Over three days and two nights the ideas are developed in to new products, services and methods. Main Activities Key Success Finnish NSU organized with its partners a national Innovation Camp in An open call for rural innovation ideas was launched. 47 different ideas were identified and 8 of these were developed further in the Camp. In 2013 the Innovation Cams were taken to regional level. Through open call 5 areas were selected where regional camps are organized. A new model for developing innovation was launched and it has been disseminated at a regional level. New actors took part in the process - even urban actors were interested in participating. We have built new innovations and ways of doing things and promoted the potential of rural areas for new growth.

21 Innovation camps Conclusion Innovation Camps are an excellent tool to develop the rural innovation environment in order to increase and improve co-operation between experts and develop and share a new method of working. It works both on national and regional level. Innovation Camps showcase the strengths of the countryside, develop new rural innovations in product development and service provision and raise awareness of the opportunities provided by the RDP's. Innovation Camps can also be used as tool to build and develop EIPs, European Innovation Parnerships.
