EMPOWERING YOUNG FARMERS: AGRICULTURE AND INNOVATION CENTER – ERASMUS+ KA2 STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIP

Empowering Young Farmers; Agriculture and Innovation Center project has been prepared based on these 3 specific matters;

  1. Raising the education level of the current workforce working in agriculture
  2. Encouraging young population to remain in agricultural production and taking actions to ensure the employment of the young population in agriculture
  3. Taking quick action when transferring all kinds of information related to agricultural innovation (technological or legal regulations etc.) to the agriculture sector

Therefore, we have established an agricultural and innovation center with national and international public, civil society, academia and private sector partnership within the project. The center contributes to rural development in a sustainable way by supporting young farmers in a comprehensive manner. It also supports the EU agriculture policies. It transfers international good practices. Also, it produces innovative technological studies and ensures that it is applied locally.
