Jinghan Li

Jinghan Li is a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Department of Knowledge Technology and Innovation at Wageningen University, Netherlands, specializing in agricultural innovation systems with a focus on China. Her work bridges social sciences and agricultural engineering to address sustainability challenges in smallholder farming.

Her research expertise includes:

• Community-based innovation intermediaries (Science and Technology Backyards)
• ICT applications for agricultural advisory services
• Climate-resilient farming system design
• Nitrogen management optimization
• Rural development policy analysis

Dr. Li's publication trajectory (2022-2024) reveals concentrated investigation into how socio-technical innovation systems transform Chinese agriculture. Her work consistently examines the intersection of traditional farming practices with modern technological interventions, particularly emphasizing climate adaptation in apple and wheat production systems through community-level knowledge exchange.

Her doctoral project 'The social impact of science and technology backyard (STBs) towards rural revitalization in China' (2021-2024) established foundational understanding of innovation intermediaries, now informing her postdoctoral research on scaling these models. She operates within Wageningen University's Knowledge Technology and Innovation group, which specializes in interdisciplinary agricultural innovation research.
