Project

Regenerative Competencies for Future Proof Farming

In this research, cross-sectoral regenerative competences will be identified, specified and mapped.

In addition, the question of how these competences can be developed and supported will be addressed as well. What kind of knowledge, both old and new, and practices within food production and the value chain, can support the development of these ‘regenerative competences? Worldwide, there are many new educational initiatives in regenerative agriculture, both by formal green education as by informal farmer organizations and NGOs. Are these diverse learning arrangements meeting the profession's needs and contributing to regenerative outcomes? Furthermore, what institutional changes are necessary to ensure that formal and informal educational bodies (re)generate learning environments and competences necessary for future-proof farming?
