Objectives

MAIN AIM of this project is to tackle the lack awareness about the importance of sustainable food production as well as the lack of healthy eating habits (especially among children and young people) through non-formal education programmes and sustainable farming. Sustainable farming is a term used to describe a collection of productive and efficient agricultural practices that can be used to produce safe and high-quality products which will positively impact farmers, animals, local communities and the environment. We believe that growing food with own hands can truly transform new generations, motivating them to take environmental action in schools, workplaces and local communities, and make them proud of their own work. Also, it can influence the positive perception of young people about pursuing professions that promote sustainable development and healthy lifestyles. Long-term vision of this project is to contribute to the promotion of increasingly prominent social goals such as environmental protection, sustainable development and healthy lifestyles, and on the other hand to create jobs and stimulate entrepreneurship. SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES of this project are: - to increase knowledge of participants about nutrition and its influence on their physical and mental health as well as their learning abilities; - to develop practical skills of participants in (sustainable) gardening and farming; to increase their knowledge of how to grow their own food; - to stimulate appreciation and recognition of potential of rural areas; - to promote greater understanding and appreciation for nature and local society; - to promote Erasmus+ and mobility of youth.
