The “AKIS in action” networking event series aims to interconnect AKIS actors across Europe. It provides practice-ready examples on how AKIS measures, knowledge and innovations are used to create value for different actors.
Farmers play the main role in ensuring the sustainability and resilience of the agri-food supply chain. However, their contributions are often undervalued. The aim is to shed light on the essential role farmers’ play within the agri-food value chain and spotlights initiatives, which work on pre-improving their position therein. Presented will be initiatives designed to strengthen the connections between farmers and the other supply chain actors, fostering collaboration and innovation. The event will serve as a platform for sharing insights, exchanging best practices, and discussing practical solutions for enhancing farmers’ engagement and visibility in the food supply chain.
Join us to learn from outstanding experts and exchange with peers as they share their practical insights and strategies for success! Whether you are a seasoned pro or just starting in your field, this event offers a platform to gain new insights, enhance your knowledge, and build valuable relationships. Join us and take your knowledge and network to the next level!
