Introduction

Decision making by farmers becomes more complex as economics, new agricultural policies and environmental aspects demand integration. Information systems require adaptation and there is a special need for innovation in farm accounting.

The objective of the concerted action PACIOLI is to assess the need for and feasibility of projects on the innovation in farm accounting and its consequences for data-gathering on a European level through the Farm Accountancy Data Network (FADN) RICA. Pacioli (AIR3-CT94-2456) was originally a Concerted Action funded by the EC under the AIR specific programme of the Community's Third Framework Programme for Research and Technological Development and managed by DGVI.FII.3. After completion of the contract the partners decided to keep the network alive at their own costs.

 We have the pleasure to announce the 21thPacioli Workshop. I’m happy to inform you that our Swedish colleague Ann-Marie Karlsson has expressed the willingness to organize the 21st edition in Sweden.  

 

Pacioli is the international workshop for coordinators, experts and researchers of microeconomic databases in agriculture, such as FADN in Europe. This edition will take place in the beautiful south west of Sweden:

The previous workshop in Rome, Italy and the other 19 workshops turned out to be very useful yearly events for professionals: they experienced a source of inspiration for their day to day work and to establish contacts in and outside the European Union. You may consult our website www.pacioli.org to find some examples.

Topics of special interest this year are:
