Project summary

The AGROPATH project (Advanced Geomatics and Remote Observation for Precision Agriculture in Higher Education) addresses the pressing need to modernize agricultural education and workforce development in Ukraine and Moldova, focusing on digital transformation and advanced geomatics. Agriculture plays a critical role in both economies, but the sectors face challenges such as outdated practices, insufficient digital skills, and the impact of Ukraine’s ongoing conflict. The project seeks to bridge these gaps by modernizing curricula in precision agriculture, integrating cutting-edge digital tools like GNSS, GIS, remote sensing, and UAVs. Key activities include updating education programs, establishing state-of-the-art geomatics laboratories, and providing tailored retraining courses for displaced individuals, rural communities, and professionals. The project will also create an open-access learning environment to ensure long-term access to high-quality, multilingual educational resources. Through cross-border cooperation with the EU, AGROPATH will enhance the digital literacy of students, educators, and agricultural professionals, fostering sustainable agricultural practices and socio-economic recovery in the region. By equipping stakeholders with the skills needed to drive digital transformation in agriculture, the project will strengthen the resilience of the sector and support long-term economic recovery and workforce development in Ukraine and Moldova.
