Modernisation of Agriculture through more efficient and effective Agricultural Knowledge and Innovation Systems

Project description

An Agricultural Knowledge and Information System to boost the agrifood sector

An Agricultural Knowledge and Information System (AKIS) improves the flow of knowledge. In this context, the EU-funded modernAKIS project will build and foster a European network of at least 1 000 key AKIS actors, including AKIS coordination bodies, from all EU Member States. They will serve as linchpins in the transformation of the AKIS systems towards more effective governance and modernisation of the European agri-food sector. The project will also build the capacities of these key AKIS actors towards systems understanding and engagement. This will allow them to put into practice long-term system changes that will improve the AKIS.

Objective

modernAKIS aims to improve AKIS actors’ capacities to leverage individual, organizational and systemic resources needed for the transformation towards more coherent, effective and efficient AKIS systems and the transition to a more sustainable management and use of natural resources in farming and forestry.

To this end it will build and foster a European network of at least 1.000 key AKIS actors, including AKIS coordination bodies, from all EU MS, who will act as linchpins in the transformation of the AKIS systems towards a more effective governance and the modernization of the European agri-food sector. The project will also build the capacities of these key AKIS actors towards systems understanding and engagement, enabling them to enact long-term system changes that will improve the AKIS. In addition, it will set up at least 1 Community of Practice in each Member State, enabling thus participants to act as vectors of change in their communities. In addition, modernAKIS will provide a comprehensive digital catalogue with new know-how, and at least 80 tools and methods supporting key AKIS actors to improve the knowledge flows and develop a well-functioning AKIS in line with relevant policy objectives, e.g the Green Deal, Farm2Fork, SDGs.
