NextFOOD
Educating the next generation of professionals in the agrifood system
Enhancing the co-creation of innovation and knowledge in agriculture, forestry and related bio-value chains.
Developing an innovative European science and education roadmap for sustainable agriculture.
Inducing a paradigm shift from a linear to a cyclical approach of learning.
Toolbox for teaching practitioners
The aim of the Nextfood Toolbox is to support teaching practitioners in implementing action-based education. The Nextfood approach is a response to the need for education that enables us to deal with complex sustainability challenges. In this approach, a main focus is to train and develop the competences of observation, dialogue, reflection, participation, visionary thinking and facilitation through action learning in agrifood- and forestry systems.
Case Studies
12 Case Studies | 13 Countries | 3 Continents
NextFOOD employs a case-based action research to develop relevant and effective education and training programmes for a transition to more sustainable agrifood and forestry systems, and to generate new knowledge needed for similar achievements beyond the specific case.
