Applications are now open for EIT Food's Regenerative Agriculture programme in Poland

For farmers interested in making their farms more profitable, whilst also making the food system better for the planet and people’s health, EIT Food is offering comprehensive support to help farmers transition to regenerative agriculture. The support includes two key parts:

1. 1.5 day training session held on a regenerative farm and delivered by experienced regenerative farmers and agonomists. The session will combine theory, interactive workshops, and farm visits. Importantly, participating farmers will learn how to apply regenerative agriculture techniques on their own farm. Key topics include:

• Minimal soil disturbance - no till farming
• Cover crops and crop rotation
• Reduction or elimination of agrochemical inputs
• Keyline design
• Composting and biofertilizers
• Integration of livestock and plants
• Cycle management: carbon, water, nitrogen and minerals
• Holistic management of a farm
• Developing a strong business model and alternative sales channels

• 2. After the thorough selection process, six of participating farmers will receive two-year of advice from an experienced regenerative agriculture agronomist. Through regular visits, the agronomists will work with participating farmers to design and implement an action plan to transition to regenerative agriculture and meet the farmer’s environmental, economic and personal goals.
