The cooperating partners of the beneficiaries of 2SF-Skilled Farmers, Sustainable Farms are OTP Agrár, Bayer Crop Science, which produces pesticides and active ingredients, Techtra Technology Transfer Institute and Századvég. The preparation of the project began at the end of 2022, the EU support covers its entire cost, they wrote. According to the announcement, the agricultural policy of the EU increasingly focuses on environmental protection aspects, and the traditional, food-creating role of agriculture is pushed into the background in strategic documents. At the same time, the green expectations are not realistic, and a difficult-to-manage tension has arisen between them and competitiveness – they emphasized. The organizers of the project believe that shaping attitudes based on the needs of farmers, spreading good practices, and encouraging dialogue can help solve the situation. Agriculture can do a lot for the environment, but for this the producers need to know what and why they have to do differently, what is the meaning of the environmental expectations – they justified the start of the project, in the framework of which a sustainability questionnaire will also be prepared so that the farmers can review and evaluate their activities.
