Monika Beck, Head of the agriculture, rural development and environment department at ADE participated in an AKIS workshop on September 26, 2024 organised by the James Hutton Institute. The purpose of the workshop was to support the development of a Scottish Agriculture Knowledge Innovation System (AKIS) by learning from AKIS structures across Europe.
The workshop was organized on behalf of the Scottish Government to learn from developing European AKIS structures and aims to establish the current emerging thinking on the EU development of the AKIS in the CAP.
Drawn conclusions from the workshop will assist the Scottish Government in identifying viable and feasible policy options.
The workshops are designed mainly to assess the current and emerging issues experienced by EU Member States in developing and implementing AKIS under the Common Agricultural Policy in recent years, to identify policies and best practices that could be considered in Scotland.
