Project description

Agriculture is facing major challenges and will have to adapt and change the way it operates. An innovation academy called FitFarmers is helping farmers to do this. FitFarmers shows farms how they can make agriculture more sustainable by adding innovative business models. The focus is on climate-friendly or climate-friendly methods.

Various training programmes make it easier for farmers to implement new business models. There are short videos to get you started and detailed video units. The information centres on practical examples, such as an agroforestry system.

The learning units can be found at fitfarmers.de
