Summary in the original language of the document
The hub fosters:
• Comprehensive and coordinated trainings across the national territory to develop the organic farming sector
• Professional organic advisers’ knowledge and skills.
• Impactful collaboration and partnerships between organic AKIS actors operating at national and regional level to meet the sector’s evolving challenges.
Practical recommendations for AKIS actors
• Seek out peer-to-peer coordination and collaboration to build up a comprehensive and integrated information base
• Promote horizontal support for organic AKIS rather than for separate sub-systems
• Invest in increasing expertise addressing multiple aspects of organic farming
• Adopt a demand-driven approach to organic advisory services
• Ensure structured and continuous provision of organic advisory services and the adoption of more participatory and innovative methods and tools
• Implement the virtual hub to create a reference point for Italian organic operators and stakeholders
The tool provides a list of the main AKIS actors supporting organic farming development in Italy.
