In Province 2, there are five AKCs but they are detached from the wider system both vertically and horizontally in terms of knowledge gathering and knowledge dissemination. A collectively owned and vibrant set of AKCs can help accelerate agriculture modernisation, through better coordination between existing agriculture development, research and extension institutions learning from the evolutionary process from India&#8217;s Krishi Vigyan Kendras (KVKs). This study explored the potential of AKCs as an effective vehicle to support food security and sustainable food systems in the context of the COVID-19 crisis, to share the knowledge and learning to feed into the agriculture sector policy of provincial and municipal governments.<\/p>\n\n<h3>Find out more about:<\/h3>\n<ul data-rte-list=\"default\">\n \t<li>\n<p class=\"\"><a href=\"https:\/\/research.aciar.gov.au\/sdip\/about-the-project\/\">Project background<\/a><\/p>\n<\/li>\n \t<li>\n<p class=\"\"><a href=\"https:\/\/research.aciar.gov.au\/sdip\/aciar-sdip1\">ACIAR SDIP 1<\/a><\/p>\n<\/li>\n \t<li>\n<p class=\"\"><a href=\"https:\/\/research.aciar.gov.au\/sdip\/component-1\/\">Component 1: Coordination, systems analysis, synthesis and communications<\/a><\/p>\n<\/li>\n \t<li>\n<p class=\"\"><a href=\"https:\/\/research.aciar.gov.au\/sdip\/component-2\/\">Component 2: Regional food systems foresight and dialogue<\/a><\/p>\n<\/li>\n \t<li>\n<p class=\"\"><a href=\"https:\/\/research.aciar.gov.au\/sdip\/component-3\/\">Component 3: Policy and institutional innovations<\/a><\/p>\n<\/li>\n \t<li>\n<p class=\"\"><a href=\"https:\/\/research.aciar.gov.au\/sdip\/component-4\/\">Component 4: Field scale innovations<\/a><\/p>\n<\/li>\n \t<li>\n<p class=\"\"><a href=\"https:\/\/research.aciar.gov.au\/sdip\/component-5\/\">Component 5: Analytical studies<\/a><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-7b9c00f2\" data-id=\"7b9c00f2\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Component 5 Analytical studies Objective To fill critical knowledge gaps on priority topics that require further investigation to support overall project objectives.\u00a0 Key Activities Identifying priority areas for analysis Undertaking analysis of primary and secondary data Undertaking critical modeling work Major areas of research: Models for access to mechanisation The role of women in agriculture [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/research.aciar.gov.au\/sdip\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/790"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/research.aciar.gov.au\/sdip\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/research.aciar.gov.au\/sdip\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/research.aciar.gov.au\/sdip\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/research.aciar.gov.au\/sdip\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=790"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/research.aciar.gov.au\/sdip\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/790\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4878,"href":"https:\/\/research.aciar.gov.au\/sdip\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/790\/revisions\/4878"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/research.aciar.gov.au\/sdip\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=790"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
