Innovative Training - Augmented Reality for Green Food
▶Summary
Use of technology in farming, environment protection, carbon footprint, protection of biodiversity...are the core issues that the EU prioritizes. The European Commission calls on Member states to take advantage of the potential of new technologies and digitisation in agriculture, with the aim to improve the sustainability and competitiveness of the sector, while simplifying the daily work of farmers. Natural areas, including agricultural fields, are influenced by human activities and their sustainable maintenance is only possible with ongoing human intervention. Organic food production and biodiversity preservation are interconnected. The overall project objective was to increase the level of competences in the fields of organic food production and contribute to enhancement of biodiversity through a technological framework for joint action. There is a need to increase the provision of innovative learning opportunities for farmers, VET learners, VET educators, to enrich the offer of tailored learning material, encouraging the education institutions to further develop additional learning content.
▶Objectives
The IT-ARGF project objective was to provide technological tools and training for the use and application of these tools in the daily work of farmers. Project objectives: - Creating comprehensive practical framework for VET educators based on the needs of VET learners. Providing information about the training needs of farmers and an interactive map of stakeholders, as well as existing proposals for digital education, mentoring and collaborative approaches. Providing an efficient analysis of elements and indicators to assess the environmental impact of the field. - Piloting e-learning in the field of organic farming by offering an efficient and targeted training material - Promotion of the use of Augmented Reality technology in farming. Ensuring the delivery of safe and sufficient food through improved farming practices. Individualizing the presence of alien species and offer suggestions for biodiversity conservation and sustainable farming practices. - Enhancing the level of cross-sectoral collaboration in the field organic farming
