CHALLENGE

Fragmented understanding of sustainability across agricultural paradigms

TECHNOLOGY

Knowledge building and learning labs across agricultural education

POTENTIAL

Strengthens collaboration and drives sustainable farming practices

Goal

FEAST promotes the sustainable transition of agriculture by deepening the understanding of sustainability as a core value and praxis across paradigms (organic, regenerative, conventional). Through dialogue, FEAST will nurture collaboration on the green transition amongst Denmark’s farming educators and students, to equip the farmers of the future for the sustainability challenges ahead.
 

Plan

FEAST will map beliefs and experiences regarding sustainability in the Danish agricultural educational and agro-food sectors through a mixed-methods approach. This overview will be used to establish agricultural schools with varying sustainability paradigms as Learning labs to improve the embeddedness of sustainability throughout the agricultural educational sector. Throughout the project, results are communicated nationally and internationally to relevant actors through reports, conferences, articles, social media, podcasts, etc.
 

Expected results

FEAST will promote sustainability practices across the agricultural sector and help bridge gaps between sustainability paradigms. FEAST will provide Denmark’s agricultural educators and future farmers with tools to collaborate across paradigms and embed sustainability as a “living” concept that shapes their aspirations, enabling their role as green change agents.
