Green education for sustainable agriculture in Ukraine

This project facilitates the set-up of a tailormade online training on sustainable agriculture practices (under the sustainable food system approach) for students of agricultural educational institutions, farmers, experts in the field and wider interested audience of Ukraine.

The training facilitates knowledge transfer from the Dutch experience of introduction of the sustainable agriculture practices in the Netherlands. The project will showcase the knowledge and expertise of the Dutch agrifood and horticulture sectors in promoting sustainable food systems and creating social and economic opportunities in Ukraine.

In order to address the local needs, an expert group will be created with the teachers from Agricultural Universities (partners of AgroKebety and its coordinators) and local businesses that are members of UCAB. This expert group will study the cases of EU countries on sustainable agriculture and use them for the development of the “study course + models for Ukraine” which will further be incorporated into the curriculum of the local agricultural institutes.

Finally, the project will provide to knowledge transfer capacity building in the field of sustainable agriculture in Ukraine and will fill in the gap between priorities of the recently adopted policy and business needs on the way to the integration to the European Union (EU).
