Project Summary

The SFARM project aims to create a new MSc programme in a specialized academic area and key regulatory/policy issue, namely “Sustainable Agriculture” that is as much absent from HEI graduate and postgraduate programmes in the region as it is needed. SFARM aims to address this absence and the needs of the region to have an MSc programme that will generate qualified personnel and experts that will work and reinforce the thriving regional agricultural industry and have a lasting impact in improving the environment in all partner countries. The qualifications acquired from the graduates of SFARM will be innovative and based on the sector’s manpower needs. The project is structured in such a way as to ensure that the developed curricula will be indeed innovative, tailor-made to specific needs and unprecedented for the region. Curriculum development will be carried out through the participatory method based on the needs of the participating countries. Novel environmental technologies and agricultural solutions, products of research in this area will be incorporated in the SFARM curricula. The new innovative curricula that will be developed will integrate the latest advancements of the “agri-tech” sector that can be immediately applied by agricultural workers in partner countries for sustainable agriculture.
