Examples of approaches to encourage skills development in agriculture
This document presents examples of approaches to encourage skills development for agricultural workers. It was prepared by the EU CAP Network's Thematic Group (TG) on Nurturing Skills for a Thriving and Sustainable Agricultural Sector.
- 2023-2027
This document presents four short examples of different approaches to encourage skills development in agriculture: demonstration farms; exchange visits; professional advice; and collaboration. These approaches were identified as relevant in the work of the EU CAP Network's TG on Nurturing Skills for a Thriving and Sustainable Agricultural Sector and are not intended to represent all possible approaches to farm skills development, merely to illustrate some.
Each example summarises the nature of the approach, offers an empirical illustration of its use, identifies some general critical success factors for the approach and how policy support can help, and draws some brief conclusions. Sources of further information and examples are also suggested.
These examples are intended to stimulate further discussion rather than to suggest specific conclusions. Therefore, they do not necessarily represent best practices but merely illustrate different approaches.
