Bridging Agriculture and Technology: AgriSkills Project Presents 47 Good practices showcased in a Reference Catalogue

Learn from real-world examples, discover good practices, and gain insights that can shape your own journey towards excellence in the digital realm of agriculture. Within our consortium, we’ve meticulously collected 47 good practices, all harmonized within a specialized reference catalogue titled the “AgriSkills Guidebook on Digitalization in Agriculture.”

This catalogue serves as an indispensable complement to our training course, offering firsthand glimpses into the innovative approaches made by real farms and agricultural organizations. Furthermore, the catalogue showcases innovative technologies for small and big farms and agronomic services. All good practices are thoughtfully organized based on their areas of application, presenting a diverse array of use cases that illustrate their impact across the agricultural value chain.

Moreover, the guidebook offers insightful insights into the current agricultural landscapes of Germany, North Macedonia, Greece, Slovenia, and Austria. By diving into the unique challenges and opportunities present in each region, it provides a roadmap for cultivating the essential skills necessary for fostering faster and more sustainable agricultural development.

The feedback from stakeholders speaks volumes: “We’ve long awaited such a practical source of information,” and “This guidebook has proven indispensable, offering much-needed guidance.”

All good practices can also be found on the AgriSkills 4.0 eLearning Platform. The “Good Practices” section is organized as an interactive database searchable by various criteria.  You can easily select and access the ones that are of interest to you. Each good practice as well as the reference catalogue can be downloaded as a PDF file to your own computer for convenient reference. Access the platform here: https://training.agriskills40.com/, and let the journey begin!

Join us in this transformative educational experience and embrace the opportunities that Digital Agriculture presents.

About AgriSkills

“AgriSkills – Entrepreneurial Skills for Digitalization of Rural Agriculture”is a European project, funded by Erasmus+ Program. Our objective is to raise awareness about the digital transformation in agriculture and to provide a training program for entrepreneurial skills in digital, smart and precision farming.

The AgriSkills consortiumbrings extensive experience in business development, vocational training, digital technologies, innovation management, and regional development.

The AgriSkills outcomes stimulate awareness, knowledge, and skills of learners and trainers in the field on the issues of digitalization and digital farming.

The initial survey, titled “Uncovering Essential Skills for Adopting Digital Technologies in Agriculture” (https://agriskills40.com/goals-results/need-analysis-survey-findings/) is a study of the needs for the development of upskilling knowledge and competences useful for the adoption of digital technologies in agricultural production and management. The survey was conducted in five European countries: Germany, North Macedonia, Greece, Slovenia, and Austria.

AgriSkills Training Course (https://training.agriskills40.com/training/), developed as a ‘guided tour’ through the entire range of digital opportunities in agriculture, introduces the needed skills and competences implemented into a complete training.

AgriSkills reference catalogue,  titled “AgriSkills Guidebook on Digitalization in Agriculture” (https://training.agriskills40.com/catalogue/), promotes inspiring initiatives, good practices, and use cases with a special focus on fostering business development, thus making innovation happen in agriculture, especially in rural areas.
