A method of expert evaluation and selection of innovative projects in the agri-business

A component of innovation activities is the selection of innovation projects and the innovation assessment system underlying it. The problem of taking into account the features associated with the heterogeneity of innovative projects in agriculture, complexity of measurement of quality indicators and taking into account effects from social and environmental goals has not been methodically solved yet. It has led to the need to find an affordable method for the assessment of innovative projects that would be able to consider these problems. The method developed will allow selecting an innovative project from the non-homogeneous group. At the same time, various differences associated with the areas of projects, regional characteristics, scales, ultimate effects, and other parameters are levelled out. The method is a flexible tool that allows you to take into account a different number of criteria and set individual weighting depending on the tasks being solved
