Further training program “modern ecological agriculture”
Our continuing education program in Modern Ecological Agriculture focuses on the critical role of ecology in farming. Key components include farmers’ contributions to climate protection, sustainable development, and the efficient management of natural resources such as water, soil, and air. The program also emphasizes the protection of biodiversity, improvement of ecosystem services, and conservation of habitats and landscapes.
Given that only 7.5% of agricultural land in the EU is managed organically (EP, 2018) and that at least 70% of European farmers lack professional training (EP, 2017), this program addresses a pressing need. With increasing pressure to adopt sustainable farming practices, our training program is designed to equip farmers with the knowledge and skills necessary for sustainable and eco-friendly agriculture.
This initiative is essential for promoting environmentally responsible farming practices, ensuring that farmers are well-prepared to meet the challenges of modern agriculture while contributing to the preservation of our natural resources and ecosystems.
