Overview

The project focuses on training trainers to improve the precise and sustainable use of chemical fertilizers, especially in field and garden crops, to promote the transition to a circular economy and to increase the use of bio-fertilizers. The data and intellectual outputs obtained from this study will be made available to industry employees and the target audience on the subject, both on the electronic platform and in the form of printed publications.

Multiplier events will be organized aiming to share and disseminate the intellectual outputs realized within the scope of the project. In addition, the intellectual outputs that will emerge as a result of the studies on the subject in Turkey and the project partner countries will be transferred to a learning model that can be accessed electronically to be used in the education of the target audience working in this sector.

Intellectual outcomes of the project: 1) Creating an Implementation Team and Structure that will benefit from the results of sustainable smart agriculture studies 2) To carry out the "Smart Agriculture Expertise" Learning program on chemical and bio fertilization with the concept of precision agriculture for sustainable agriculture. 3) Building capacity for Smart Agriculture Experts 4) To conduct pilot applications and validation studies for the competence of Smart Agriculture Experts in interaction with farmers and other agricultural stakeholders
