The project aimed to educate at least nine NEETs and farmers to enhance their sustainable farming techniques and develop basic entrepreneurship skills through professional formal and informal training. This initiative enabled the target groups to improve their employability prospects while providing existing farmers with additional tools to develop their agri-businesses. The project's activities promoted inclusiveness and inspired individuals to view agriculture as a sustainable employment choice, both environmentally and financially. The project also sought to create a novel training program and a tool/handbook in OER form for the target groups, focusing on the aforementioned fields of interest. The training was customized to meet the specific requirements and needs of the participants, developing essential green, digital, and entrepreneurship skills. This approach contributed to the project's sectorial and horizontal priorities. Moreover, the project encouraged NEETs and farmers to adopt a new mindset regarding agriculture by offering farming skills and basic business expertise. Good practice approaches were gathered and shared among the participants, helping them understand the practicality and viability of the training.
While rural areas face challenges in entrepreneurship and youth employment due to market distance, low demand, and lack of services, new agricultural approaches and green transformations offer growth opportunities by enhancing proximity, expertise, business development, and networking. Emerging markets in agriculture and bio-economy provide hope for job creation and revitalizing rural areas. NEETs can generate income by focusing on high-value products and smart promotion. Globalization demands innovative strategies for sustainable agri-enterprises, minimizing environmental impacts, increasing yields, and using fewer resources.Digital innovation is key for customer outreach. Enhancing skills in sustainability and technology is vital for developing competitive and sustainable rural agri-enterprises. Thus,the motivation of this project was to address these shortcomings by develop and offer unique training and tools for NEETs and farmers, combining green initiatives and entrepreneurship in agriculture. It provided skills, motivation, inspiration, real-life examples of successful practices, funding opportunities, and business development workshops to equip participants with the essential skills needed to develop their agri-enterprises.
