Sicily CoVE

“When we talk to students and farmers in Denmark about the green transition, most agree that they, – and the entire agricultural sector, plays a crucial and important role. But when asked how they can act more climate-smart, many become less clear. We need to give students and farmers specific skills to work in a climate-smart way and give the entire sector a more proactive voice and role in the green transition”

“In Sicily, our agriculture faces tough hurdles due to climate change like drought and wildfires. It’s only by teaming up with regional players in training, research, and business that we can create innovative training opportunities. These will help our farmers confront these challenges head-on.”
