EU-DARE proposes to develop a highly practical training course that will increase the adoption of sustainable agricultural practices, specifically Agroecology. Agroecology is a holistic and integrated approach that simultaneously applies ecological and social concepts and principles to the design and management of sustainable agriculture and food systems. It seeks to optimise the interactions between plants, animals, humans and the environment, while addressing the need for socially equitable food systems within which people can exercise choice over what they eat and how and where it is produced. It is no longer possible to look at food, livelihoods, health and natural resource management separately. Addressing these complex and interdependent challenges requires embracing systems thinking through holistic approaches. EU-DARE will bring together European directives on sustainable agriculture, from the Farm to Fork strategy to the 2030 biodiversity strategy for smallholder farmers in Europe’s rural areas who are the backbone of European agriculture.
The EU-DARE project aims to develop a highly qualified training course that addresses the needs of smallholders in European rural areas, specifically:
1. Explaining what agroecology is and what role it plays in combating climate change, increasing resilience, increasing land productivity;
2. Illustrate the value of using smallholder farmers as a container for improvements in agricultural performance and as a particular means of enabling a new, more appropriate sustainable process; 3.Motivate the objectives with practical guidance on how to introduce ‘Sustainable and regenerative farming systems’ education into their organisations.
Another objective that EU-DARE wants to achieve is to increase the level of lifelong learning among farmers.
The main TARGET GROUP of EU-DARE is farmers in rural areas, who have received little training and lifelong learning. Specifically, it will fill the gaps in continuous vocational training to manage the transition into the labour market by acquiring green practices in agriculture by offering a highly practical and straightforward course that is easily accessible to their needs. VET institutions acting in formal and non-formal education and training that can act to improve agro-ecological practices for small farmers. It also addresses VET providers adapting their training offerings to the changing needs for green transition skills. All of our learning resources will be highly digitized -Digital.
