September Coffee Break: Practical Pathways to Sustainable Farming: Crop-MATCHING and TERRA

How can practical farming knowledge support the transition towards more sustainable and regenerative agriculture? And how can farmers and agricultural professionals develop and demonstrate the skills needed for this transition?

Join our next EUFRAS Coffee Break to discover two European projects that approach these questions from complementary perspectives: Crop-MATCHING and TERRA.

Practical Pathways to Sustainable Farming: Crop-MATCHING and TERRA

Crop-MATCHING, a Horizon Europe project, focuses on sustainable cropping practices for small-scale farms. From crop rotation and intercropping to cover crops and other locally adapted solutions, the project collects and shares practical approaches that can be applied in real farming situations.

TERRA, an Erasmus+ project, focuses on learning and skills for regenerative agriculture. Through micro-credentials, flexible learning pathways and Open Badges, TERRA explores new ways to develop, recognise and validate practical skills among farmers, agricultural workers and VET professionals.

Together, the two projects offer a broader perspective on sustainable farming — from practical solutions in the field to the knowledge and skills needed to put them into practice.

During this Coffee Break, you will hear from experts directly involved in both projects, including:

• Katerina Paltaki – Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Coordinator, Crop-MATCHING

• Pilar Zapata Aranda – BIOAZUL, Communication, Dissemination and Exploitation Leader, Crop-MATCHING

• Andrés Dochao – TERRA Viva Ibiza, TERRA Project Leader

• Daniela Varone – CIOFS-FP, Training Programme Testbed

• Natalia Truszkowska – Polish Farm Advisory and Training Centre (PFA), introducing the session and the connection between the two projects

Expect a concise and practical session with inspiring examples, new ideas and insights that can be useful for agricultural advisors, VET providers, farmers and rural stakeholders.

Whether you are already working on sustainable and regenerative agriculture or simply want to discover what these European projects can offer in practice, this EUFRAS Coffee Break is for you.
