📣Calling All Farmers – We Want to Hear From You! A farmer survey focusing on the knowledge and communication needs of farmers has been launched. This survey has been collaboratively developed by the AKIS Coordination Group (Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine , Agricultural Consultants Association, Teagasc and CAP Network Ireland) to better understand the current needs of farmers in relation to how they currently source knowledge and information. Results will be used to inform AKIS actors to help ensure a well-functioning Irish AKIS that connects people and facilitates knowledge flows between research, cooperation and advisory services and is more responsive to the growing information needs of farmers, rural economy actors, advisors, researchers and other food system & bioeconomy stakeholders.

After 7 months of intensive work for CEJA Young Farmers, we are faced with a new task: ensure that the outcomes of the strategic dialogue are communicated efficiently yet thoroughly. It has been a challenge for all participating stakeholders: the length of the report and the level of detailing of certain recommendations highly contrast with the pace of our sphere, where immediate communications and reporting are the norm. As the Chair himself said during the press conference last Wednesday, and as many stakeholders have vocalised: the report should be read in its entirety to understand the many connections established. For us, it is fundamental to be able to communicate in a way that is appropriate to our audience of young farmers and colleagues in the agri-food sphere. That is why, after identifying certain of the main editorial lines around the dialogue, we came out with a series of visuals dedicated to re-establish some of the nuances that may have been forgotten in the marathon of the last days. Find out more in the visuals below. ⬇

If the Agricultural Professionals Registration and Licensing Bill 2024 is passed, you will be required to have a degree, diploma, or certificate in an agricultural course to sell farm inputs, or you could face a two-year jail term and a fine of 200,000/=. What does this mean for the farmers in the country? How will it affect the Food Security in Kenya? We will be answering these and many other questions. This is a conversation you don't want to miss!
