Stan i pożądane kierunki rozwoju systemu wiedzy i innowacji w rolnictwie (AKIS) w Polsce w świetle globalnych wyzwań

The aim of the publication was to identify the current state of the agricultural knowledge and innovation system (AKIS) and to indicate the most desirable directions for development in the context of environmental, social, economic, technological, and Common Agricultural Policy implementation challenges. The evolution of the system was presented, and the importance of its individual actors, mainly research and advisory institutions and agricultural organizations, was discussed. Experts' opinions were also presented. It was noted that contemporary challenges require farmers to implement modern and resource-efficient solutions, which in turn involves developing innovations and implementing them in agricultural practice. The need to support these activities with funds from the Common Agricultural Policy was also pointed out. In the context of the AKIS system in Poland, it was noted that there are well-developed organizations (including scientific and advisory ones) capable of creating and implementing innovations, but measures (including at the political level) should be taken to strengthen cooperation between them.
