📣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.

🌱 Soil health is crucial for a thriving ecosystem and sustainability in agriculture and the European food supply. 💡 Within this context, the Soil Mission aims to develop a comprehensive, harmonized soil monitoring framework. A critical component of this mission is integrating existing monitoring programs and improving methodologies, an effort that spans across Europe. 🌿 To tackle this issue, one of PREPSOIL goals is to bridge this gap by extending the findings from agricultural soil projects to other types of soils. 📃 Want to know more about how PREPSOIL is dealing with soil monitoring?

Research shows that combining specialized and mixed farms is the most cost-effective way to achieve diverse NUTS2 regions. 📊🌍 Our analyses reveal consistent synergies between efficiency and resilience across multiple EU regions, characterized by high crop and livestock diversity as well as circularity. 🌾🐄🔄 🌱💰 Good News for Farmers! Achieving mixed regions doesn’t mean sacrificing profit. In fact, imposing mixedness at the regional level can boost profit potential compared to current land uses. 📈💵 Simultaneously optimizing production and nutrient balances can enhance crop diversity at both farm and regional levels. 🤝🌾 Plus, regional collaboration improves income and soil quality! 🌻🌿 🔄 Whether through top-down or bottom-up analyses, we see clear synergies between efficiency and resilience. Extending efficiency to environmental indicators and embracing diversity and connectedness enriches our understanding of #mixedfarming systems. 🔗 Find out more and read the full report on our website: https://lnkd.in/de6CSd39 #FarmResilience #EURegions #Agroecology #SustainableFarming #EfficiencyAndResilience
