Dialogic conducts research on a wide range of topics, particularly for the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries, Food Security and Nature. Here are some examples:
- Recently, we conducted the Periodic Reporting on Agricultural Policy. For this study, Dialogic assessed the effectiveness and efficiency of the agricultural policy implemented by the Ministry over the period 2019-2024. The research covered all themes related to agricultural policy during that period, ranging from ensuring food safety and quality to promoting sustainability in production and consumption (through circular agriculture).
- From 2023 to 2024, Dialogic carried out an evaluation on External Offsetting. When an initiator wishes to develop an activity that would lead to an increase in nitrogen deposition in nitrogen-sensitive Natura 2000 areas where significant negative effects cannot be ruled out, they must mitigate these potential consequences (Article 6, Paragraph 3 of the EU Habitats Directive) to obtain permission. External offsetting – using residual nitrogen capacity from a farm that is partially or completely ceasing operations – is an example of such a mitigating measure.
- From 2024 to 2025, Dialogic conducted an evaluation of the Subsidy Modules for Source-Oriented Sustainability in Stable and Management Measures (Sbv). The scheme aims to support livestock farmers through the innovation module in researching and developing innovations to make proven techniques available for broader practical applications in the future. The investment module provides subsidies for the widespread adoption and investment in proven techniques in stable systems.
- Robotisation and digitalisation are playing an increasingly crucial role in boosting sector productivity and implementing more sustainable agricultural methods (e.g. precision agriculture). Over the years, Dialogic has conducted various research projects on the deployment of robotics in the sector. An example includes our study on the skills required by independent agricultural business advisors to support farmers in implementing robotics. We have also extensively covered the digitalisation of the agricultural sector in the impact analysis of digital key technologies.
