  • Farm inc. - Introducing Marketing Principles in the Agricultural Sector

    Modern farming is far more than growing crops, handling livestock or producing agricultural products: it requires complex business and financial decisions. In an ever more competitive environment, farmers and agricultural managers need to continuously learn about latest developments in the sector and improve their knowledge and skills. Agricultural enterprises (especially the smaller ones) and farmers are often in a disadvantageous position compared to other bigger players in the food chain, such as food manufacturers, wholesalers, retailers, and face a common problem: their efforts to maintain and improve their market position, to upgrade their market share and to expand their business activity internationally, often go unrewarded. Cost effective and easily accessible training opportunities are, therefore, essential and more needed now than ever before.

    To this end, the Farm inc. project, co-funded under the Lifelong Learning Programme of the Europen Union, upgrades the skills and competences of agricultural entrepreneurs, so as to better brand and market their products.

  • GLEAN - Growing Levels of Employability | Entrepreneurship in Agriculture for NEETs

    GLEAN, a project funded by the Erasmus+ programme of the European Union, opens up the way to a career in the agricultural field for young (18-24 years old) NEETs (ot in Education, Employment or Training) looking for alternative career paths. It aspires to capitalise on the agricultural sector’s documented precious potential and added value for employability, by activating 3 learning pathways in 3 european countries greatly affected by the NEETs issue: Greece, Italy and Spain. GLEAN implemented an innovative, engaging approach for learning the job in the agricultural field, based on the design and implementation of a blended course, combining classroom and online/self-learning with an emphasis on hands-on experience. The project developed the NEET Employability/Entrepreneurship Programme (NEEP), a transversal online learning and training programme for the development of technical and soft skills, accompanied by guidelines and recommendations for the adoption of the NEEP by further institutions.
