Training farmers in new digital technologies and innovative practices

Training farmers in new digital technologies and innovative practices

SERVICE DESCRIPTION

Embrace the future of agriculture by joining our Training Program, designed to empower farmers with the latest digital technologies and innovative practices. Cultivation and animal husbandry practices are constantly evolving because of technological progress as well as the requirements of European legislation. Therefore, constant adaptation of agricultural and livestock practices is imposed by imperatives of both the market and European legislation. Given the complexity of agricultural production, farmers need multidimensional training programs balanced and integrated accordingly. A comprehensive training program should conflate theoretical training in fundamental principles and practical applications with experiential learning through which trainees will assimilate knowledge and experiences provided. In-class learning combined with on-line sessions are the most convenient method for meeting this purpose. In-class and on-field learning has the advantage of fewer distractions, increased concentration, and more direct, personalized learning experiences. On-line sessions, on the other hand, allow for the integration of auxiliary educational/learning digital tools which facilitate knowledge transfer and diminish limitations resulting from the physical distance between trainers and trainees.
