AKIS Farmer Survey
A farmer survey focusing on the knowledge and communication needs of farmers took place in the latter half of 2024. This survey was collaboratively developed by the AKIS Coordination Group (DAFM, ACA, Teagasc, CAP Network Ireland) to better understand the current needs of farmers in relation to how they currently source knowledge and information.
The survey was administered by CAP Network Ireland and the 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.
The survey results were presented at the third meeting of the AKIS Coordination Group. Materials are available here.
