Don't forget to respond to this survey. It will help considerably in identifying and addressing the knowledge and communication needs of farmers.
📣Calling All Farmers – We Want to Hear From You! A farmer survey focusing on the knowledge and communication needs of farmers has been launched. This survey has been collaboratively developed by the AKIS Coordination Group (Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine, Agricultural Consultants Association, Teagasc and CAP Network Ireland) to better understand the current needs of farmers in relation to how they currently source knowledge and information. Results will be used to inform AKIS actors to help ensure a well-functioning Irish AKIS that connects people and facilitates knowledge flows between research, cooperation and advisory services and is more responsive to the growing information needs of farmers, rural economy actors, advisors, researchers and other food system & bioeconomy stakeholders.
