EQFE-learning Courses for Eco-Farming

• The highly successful Leonardo da Vinci pilot project "EcoJob-AP - Training on European standards for ecological agricultural production" has anticipated this development in 2006 and created an e-based Learning management environment for acquiring knowledge and skills for ecological agrarian production (organic farming). It developed modules for level 3 (for eco-farmers) and for level 5 (for eco-experts) according to the requirements of the EQF. The project ended in 2008. The specific objectives of this proposal are to transfer the results of the EcoJob-AP project into three European languages where this standardized training concept hitherto does not exist: to the Czech Republic, to Austria and to Slovenia, and to produce these versions with linguistic and socio-economic adaptations that refer to the specific situations in these countries.
