This is an EU funded project providing training for agricultural stakeholders in the development of agroforestry in the mountain and Mediterranean region
The Agrof-MM project "Training in Agroforestry - Mediterranean - Semi-Arid Zones - Mountain" aims to:
- Train between 130 and 150 agricultural professionals in Europe and neighboring countries over a three year period
- Improve and develop educational tools for training in sustainable agroforestry
- Develop a unique agroforestry qualification program in each European country
Agrof-MM both reinforces and complements the European project AgroFE, which was completed in December 2015. It extends the geographical boundaries of the AgroFE project to encompass the Mediterranean and the mountain areas, broadening the level of training and opening it up to new players.
Agroforestry can be defined as the integration of woodland vegetation (trees, hedges etc.) to crops and / or livestock on the same land. Its environmental and economic benefits have been scientifically proven. These include: reduced use of inputs, carbon storage, improving soil fertility, erosion control, biodiversity stimulation, better management and protection of water resources and further reducing the cost of production.
The training of agricultural stakeholders is fundamental to a new development of agroforestry practices in Europe. Educating is essential not only to publicize this mode of innovative production, but also to acquire new skills and knowledge necessary to master the art of agroforestry.
The groups which the training programs will target are the following: students, farmers and future farmers, workers, teachers, instructors and agricultural consultants.
The training resources will be distributed to the following: managers of training centers, schools and universities, managers of training systems in the regions and the state, officials of major professional organizations, NGOs and policymakers.
