Co-creation delays in a Trøndelag Living Lab for crop rotation advisory services are driven by project reorganisation, leadership changes, budget cuts, and limited LL methodology experience. Key dialogues between farmers, advisors, and researchers face challenges due to instability and low prioritisation. Trust and collaboration require sustained engagement, which has been disrupted. Ruralis researchers Gunn-Turid Kvang and Egil Petter Strate examine barriers to innovation in farmer advisory systems.
