AgriLearn360 – Digital Skills for a Resilient and Smart Agricultural Future

AgriLearn360 aims to empower farmers, farm workers, and advisors by providing targeted, accessible, and practice-oriented training in digital technologies, sustainable practices, and functional food innovation. The project responds to the urgent need to equip rural stakeholders with the knowledge and skills required to adapt to rapid technological and climate-related changes in agriculture.

Objectives:

• To develop and pilot a modular training program focused on precision livestock farming, digital traceability, and functional food value chains.

• To co-create learning materials with end-users (farmers, advisors) through participatory workshops and case studies.

• To deliver knowledge at the right time and place through a blended learning approach (digital tools, field visits, mobile apps, and local training hubs).

• To foster collaboration between researchers, SMEs, and farmer networks across Eastern Europe and the EU.

Expected Impact:

• Enhanced digital and sustainable farming competencies among rural actors.

• Increased resilience and competitiveness of small and medium-sized farms.

• Strengthened advisory systems through continuous learning and innovation sharing.
