The organization New Agriculture New Generation and the company Barba Stathis collaborated on the design and implementation of a specialized training program aimed at the partner producers of the company. The goal was to further develop their technical skills on current themes in the agri-food sector.
The training program included a series of practical sessions on regenerative agriculture, the new Common Agricultural Policy (CAP), and climate change. These training sessions took place from February to April 2024 in Barba Stathis’s main cultivation areas, such as Amyntaio in Florina, Chalki in Larissa, Apollonia in Thessaloniki, Kilkis, and Giannitsa in Pella.
More specifically, focusing on developing the technical skills of participating producers, the training themes were structured as follows:
- Regenerative agriculture, use of specialized nutrition products, regenerative and organic farming practices.
- Presentation of the rights model and ecological schemes of the New CAP 2023-2027, focusing on “Rural Development Measures,” group production contract farming, financial support, and the strategic plan specifically for the company’s crops.
- Climate change and agriculture, adaptation technologies and mitigation of negative impacts, as well as carbon farming.
The collaboration between New Agriculture New Generation and Barba Stathis strengthens the primary sector by transferring expertise from universities and market professionals to the participants. With a sense of responsibility, the company continues to practically support its partner producers across the country, focusing on providing incentives for engaging with Greek land.
This training program is part of the design and implementation of specialized programs by New Agriculture New Generation to provide training services to companies in the agri-food sector.
