It is the vision of the modernAKIS project that the AKIS approach will become an indispensable and effective tool for all actors in the EU MS’ agri-food systems to develop sustainable, climate change proof and multifunctional forms of agriculture and resource use. Embracing the AKIS approach will contribute to removing institutional barriers to the needed transformations and overcome inequalities and blockades in politics and society.

Thus, the project’s main objective is 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.
