Improving farm advisory services to stimulate transition to sustainable agriculture

Original language description

Transitions towards more sustainable European agriculture are influenced advisory organisations that support farmer decision-making. However, there is a large bias in both policy and research in starting from the side of advice provision while having little or no attention for farmers’ advice needs. This paper describes results based on 26 case studies in 13 European countries that was analysed based on a ‘multiple level approach’, addressing the micro-level of individual farmers, the meso-level of national (or regional) AKIS and the EU macro-level. Results show a variety of shortcomings in advisors meeting farmers’ need for advice which cannot easily be addressed in a coherent way in current thinking on farming advice. For that reason, we propose using a new overall perspective on farming advice which we call a ‘farmer centred advice paradigm’.The main features of this new paradigm need to address the following topics: 1) farmers’ advice needs; 2) what is meant by ‘farming advice’; 3) who is an ‘advisor’; 4) advice setting and methods; 5) the gap between AKIS and microAKIS; 5) training and AKIS coordination; 6) maturity of innovation; 7) the macro perspective: contribute to sustainable development; and 8) role of policy.
