“Advisors play a crucial role in helping farmers apply optimal fertilization techniques, especially admits high prices and shortages due to the war in Ukraine, which caused a 149% increase in fertilizer prices in September 2022 compared to 2021. They are key sources of information and drive innovation adoption among farmers. Under the new CAP, advisors must be integrated into the MS Agricultural Knowledge and Innovation Systems (AKIS) and address economic, environmental, and social domains. This requieres them to stay updated on research and innovations while also deploying soft skills to adapt knowledge to local contexts.”
