For agricultural development and effective counsulting is necessary networking consulting services on a global and local level for better information flow and more efficient transfer of modern technological achievements. International cooperation and networking consulting services and institutions operating in the individual countries and better qualifications of agricultural advisors with the application of scientific and technical research in practice, would significantly contribute to faster rural development. The Agricultural Knowledge and Innovation Systems - AKIS connects all stakeholders involved in rural development. AKIS system is very different from country to country, region and sector. There are different sources of financing of its individual parts, which can be problematic for synergies and successful cooperation between stakeholders. In future work, Croatian Advisory Service should be harder to connect and network with all stakeholders involved in the development of local agriculture and the rural area for the purpose of a more effective transfer of knowledge/innovation in practice. It is necessary to further develop and strengthen international cooperation, especially in the region, in order to take joint action to overcome the negative impacts of climate change, the exchange of knowledge and experience and the creation of project partnerships.
