Call for Training Program Coordinator in Italy

As part of its mission to make food systems healthier

and more sustainable, EIT Food has created the Regenerative Agriculture Revolution, one of whose main aims is to help European farmers learn about and implement more sustainable farming practices. The project focuses on three key areas:

1. Farmer training and support. We offer a comprehensive training program that helps farmers learn about and then apply the principles of regenerative agriculture on their farms.
The most promising farmers from the training sessions are welcomed to a 3-year regenerative agriculture transition program.

2. Monitoring ecosystem improvements. We are measuring a series of parameters on the farms in our program in order to better understand the impact of regenerative farming practices on soil health, biodiversity and farmer income.

3. Helping the public see the health and environmental benefits of regenerative agriculture. Through research and compelling storytelling, we are explaining the connection between soil health and human health to the European public. By raising awareness about the environmental and health benefits of regenerative agriculture we hope to raise demand for the produce of regenerative farmers.
