Project Title

FitFarmers- Digital Innovation Academy for Agriculture

Project description

Agriculture is facing major challenges and will have to adapt and change operating methods. An innovation academy called FitFarmers is designed to help farmers do just that. FitFarmers aims to show farms how they can make agriculture more sustainable by adding innovative business models. The focus is on climate-friendly or climate-protecting methods.

A variety of continuing education programs are designed to help farmers implement new business practices. Short videos for getting started and detailed video units are planned. FitFarmers is to include checklists, calculation templates and assessment tools, for example for sustainability accounting. The information will focus on real-world examples, such as an agroforestry system.
