Project Goals
Bio pesticides are an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional chemical pesticides, and their use can lead to more sustainable and organic farming practices. The project aims to educate and train VET students and farmers on the effective use and application of bio pesticides, as well as the benefits of using them.
This project will help to bridge the gap between theory and practice in the agricultural industry. Many VET programs focus on theory, but this project can provide practical and hands-on training, allowing students to gain practical experience and learn the skills needed to apply sustainable practices in the real world.

Short description:
The concrete objectives of a project on bio pesticides that focus on VET students, educators and farmers include:
- To increase awareness and knowledge about bio pesticides among VET students, educators, and farmers, including their benefits, limitations, and safe use.
- To provide training and capacity building to VET students and educators on the application of bio pesticides, enabling them to become skilled professionals in the field of bio pesticides.
- To support farmers in adopting bio pesticides as an alternative to conventional pesticides, reducing the environmental impact of agricultural practices and improving the health and safety of farmers and consumers.
- To provide high-quality technical training to VET students making VET education more attractive for them and able to contribute to their personal and professional development.
These objectives are linked to priorities we chose in the following way:
Sustainable agriculture: The project aims to promote the use of bio pesticides, which are considered a more sustainable and environmentally friendly alternative to conventional pesticides, reducing the negative impact of agriculture on the environment.
Capacity building and education: The project seeks to provide training and education to VET students and educators, increasing their knowledge and skills in the field of bio pesticides, and supporting the development of a skilled workforce.
