AMDI was founded by a team of individuals that believe that sustainable economic growth, development, and poverty reduction in transitional countries can be achieved through increased well reasoned, operational, and accomplishable reform efforts in the agrarian sector and agricultural markets development.

In its activities AMDI relies on the following three cornerstone principles:
1. Priority of locally developed, internalized, and owned policies know-how over external “hit and run” recommendations.
2. Sustainability of agrarian markets reform processes based on institutional motivations to implement them, capacity to do this, transparency of all processes and procedures, honesty in the evaluation of results.
3. A success definition by measurable outcomes of implemented recommendations or proposed policies as opposed to the conducted events.
