SARE National Training Activity Reports
As part of the Erasmus+ project Smart Agriculture for Resource Efficiency (SARE), partners implemented national training activities in Poland, Cyprus, and Malta to support the development of digital and green competences in the agricultural sector.
The national trainings formed an important stage of the project, as they allowed partners to put the SARE training materials and DigiHub into practice with farmers, agricultural practitioners, trainers, and stakeholders. Each training activity focused on the project’s three core themes: Sustainable Farming, Resource Efficiency, and Smart Agriculture.
Across the three partner countries, participants explored key topics such as efficient water and energy use, soil health, sustainable input management, digital tools for agriculture, data-supported decision-making, and climate-smart farming practices. The activities combined presentations, discussions, practical examples, guided learning, and the use of SARE resources.
The training activities also provided valuable feedback on the usefulness of the SARE DigiHub and the training materials developed under the project. Participants highlighted the importance of practical examples, local case studies, accessible digital tools, and continued learning opportunities.
These national training reports present the implementation, participant profiles, training content, evaluation results, and key outcomes from each country. Together, they show how the SARE project has supported practical knowledge transfer and strengthened awareness of smart, sustainable, and resource-efficient agriculture across Europe.
