Description of the project content:
On 1 June 2023, the ETICOF (Education, training and innovations in conversion to organic farming) Erasmus + KA2 Strategic Partnership (2022-1-SK01-KA220-HED-000086079) project was launched. The three-year project aims to promote organic farming and conversion to organic farming in higher education and lifelong learning. The project partners will develop educational materials focusing on the transition to organic farming. The teaching material will be accompanied by a pedagogical methodological guide and, last but not least, a training curriculum covering the issues identified by farmers' experiences as the most challenging during the transition. The teaching material will be applicable in higher education, adapted for agricultural practice and adult education.
