Thus, the central objective of the project was to inform, raise awareness and strengthen the participants with new skills in order to acquire the KNOWLEDGE in order to lay the foundations to create a BIOMASS UNIT - since the volume of agricultural waste produced is particularly high since tree cultivation is the main production activity of olives and peaches, cherries, apples, pears and apricots. The main concern is the implementation of a complete system of integrated management of agricultural by-products for the production of electricity as well as biological fertilizers, actions that provide significant environmental benefits.
The main objective of P.E.P.T.E.G is the continuous training of the farmer at all levels of organization of a production process of agricultural exploitation (plant protection, mechanical equipment, nutrition, new technologies and modern data), taking into account that young people potentially farmers have a better relationship with new technologies and Lifelong Learning. In this context, it has been established that new approaches in the agricultural sector that take environmental parameters into account are a dynamic sector for our country, being an ideal opportunity for the best - more efficient performance of crops and increasing the income of producers. The main objective of the proposal was to train 20 people - members of the Union in order to create the appropriate conditions for the establishment of an AGRICULTURAL WASTE RECYCLING UNIT and at the same time to raise awareness in order to assist in the project in question and to be convinced of the benefits that will arise at a financial level but mainly in environmental. The Netherlands was chosen as a country of choice and it is a country that has a developed agricultural sector implementing recycling actions from agricultural waste in the context of environmental care
