<< Background >>Climate change is one of the most important issues facing the world. The risk of climate change is now at an irreversible point. After this stage, it is important to reduce, mitigate and adapt its effects.On February 24, 2021, the European Commission adopted the new EU strategy for climate change adaptation. This strategy explains how the European Union can prepare for the unavoidable effects of climate change and become climate resilient by 2050. This strategy suggests that compliance be smarter, faster, and more systemic and that international action on climate change adaptation is stepped up.Agriculture is one of the most vulnerable sectors to climate change. Climate change affects agricultural production and food supply due to the atmospheric effects of elevated CO2; rising temperatures; altered precipitation and transpiration regimes; increased frequency of extreme events; and altered plants with diseases and other pathogenic risks. It is estimated that climate change will result in a reduction of around 16% in EU agricultural production by 2050. The countries most affected by climate change are central European and Mediterranean countries. Disadvantaged people, particularly those who live in rural areas and work in agricultural production, will suffer as a result of this. If no action is taken, the income level of these people will fall, making it difficult for them to maintain their lifestyles. Some of them will migrate. As a result of migration and the abandonment of rural people from agriculture, we will face a faster decline in agricultural output. Furthermore, cities will experience a variety of migration-related issues.Furthermore, the FAO predicts that by 2050, the global population will have increased to 9.6 billion, resulting in 70% more food requirements than in 2013. When the negative effects of climate change on agriculture are considered, it is possible that the world will face a complete food crisis. This situation will disproportionately affect disadvantaged groups, such as low-income individuals, women, and children.The world may continue to be habitable, but agricultural production can also be maintained in a planned, conscious, and efficient manner under climate change conditions.Agricultural professionals are critical to the long-term viability of agriculture in the face of climate change. Training agricultural professionals who will advise and train farmers, as well as agricultural students who will enter the sector as graduates, can be the start of a rapid adaptation process. As a result, the project's goal is to train trainers.Climate change's effects are beginning to be felt. This topic has been the subject of reports from international institutions and researchers. However, there was no way to incorporate these studies and research into agricultural vocational education. Agricultural vocational education needs to be modernized to meet the needs of the agricultural sector's equipped labor force and to be able to train individuals equipped for agricultural production under climate change conditions. This is the focus of the project.<< Objectives >>Three universities and three research institutes from Central European and Mediterranean countries collaborated on the project. Each of them is a powerful and influential organization in the field of vocational education. They provide training to the project's target groups of agricultural students and agricultural professionals. Furthermore, the countries of Central Europe and the Mediterranean are the most vulnerable to the effects of climate change on agriculture. In these areas, negative effects are expected to be the most severe. A consortium has been formed with the participation of institutions from countries that will face similar risks in order to develop the solution more effectively.When providing education, the agricultural sector differs from other sectors in that it must take into account factors such as regional climate, soil, and agricultural culture. The truth of science is universal. However, the solution you suggest for one region may not be appropriate for another. As a result, the project took regional characteristics into account. The project's Vocational Education Partnership will develop training modules for agricultural vocational education that focus on agriculture under climate change conditions. Agricultural vocational education will be modernized in this way to meet the sector's labor needs.The training modules will primarily be used by project partners to train their own students and agricultural professionals. An online education platform, on the other hand, will be developed. The Learning Management System on this platform will make training modules available online. Project dissemination-supported training modules will also be used for vocational training outside of the partnership.The project's implementation is aimed at achieving the following goals.•Development of agricultural vocational training capacities of partner institutions through the project•Providing training modules focused on climate change in agricultural vocational education•Ensuring that students who have graduated from partner institutions and agricultural professionals who have received training are better prepared to work in climate-change-affected agriculture•Extending the positive impact area by ensuring that people who benefit from online education are better prepared for agriculture in the face of climate change•Ensuring that farmers are better prepared for climate change conditions through training of trainers •Training the equipped workforce needed by the agricultural sector to cope with climate change•Contribute to the adaptation of the agricultural sector and the solution of problems related to the food supply for disadvantaged individuals living in rural areas •Contribute to the adaptation of the agricultural sector and the solution of problems related to the food supply<< Implementation >>•Surveys will be conducted to assess countries' understanding of agricultural production and the risks associated with climate change conditions •The survey results will be analyzed, and key findings will be incorporated into the training modules•Partner institutions will organize training for target groups using modules.•Some of the partner institutions' trainings will be supplemented by thematic practical trainings held in the facilities of the partner institutions•Pilot trainings will be organized by partners, and online use of training modules will be encouraged•The project partners will receive and evaluate feedback as a result of the trainings held. In response to this feedback, training modules will be updated. •For dissemination, opening and closing events with a large audience will be organized•A minimum of six multiplier events will be held to disseminate and promote the project's outcomes•At all events, a brochure describing the project results presentation and the use of the online training platform will be prepared and distribute•Project partners will provide participation in agricultural activities that can reach the target audience, such as exhibitions, fairs, and conferences. Promotion and dissemination of the project will be provided•Other vocational education institutions will be informed about the project's findings•Promotional activities will be held online and in person to share the project's results with people outside the partnership•Promotional materials will be created and distributed in accordance with project visibility rules•Work will be done to share training modules on online sharing platforms like Coursera and SlideShare so that they can be used in more places.<< Results >>The following are the results of the project that will be prepared within the project's scope. Partner institutions will use the prepared training modules in vocational training. Simultaneously, it will be shared with other professional educational institutions and made available for online use via a Learning Management System (LMS). It is hoped that by doing so, it will have a greater positive impact•PR-1 CLIAVE Learning Management System (C-LMS)•PR-2 Climate Resilient Cropping Systems Learning Module•PR-3 Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Land and Fertilizer Use and Protection Measures Against Climate Change Learning Module•PR- 4 Use of New technologies in Irrigation for Sustainable Production and Protection of Water Resources Under Climate Change Conditions Learning Module•PR-5 Integrated Pest Management Recommendations to Cope Climate Change Challenges Learning Module•PR-6 Livestock Under Climate Change Conditions: Impacts, Mitigation and Adaptation Learning Module•PR-7 Energy Efficiency Improvements and Renewable Energy Supply into The Agricultural Sector Learning Module•PR-8 Green Toolbox.The project is expected to produce the following outcomes:•Assisting in the modernization of agricultural vocational education •Expanding the vocational training capacities of partner institutions •Growing the number of graduates with better skills, assisting in the professional development of agricultural professionals •Providing the agricultural sector with a qualified labor force requires•Contributing to the agricultural sector's adaptation to climate change •Contributing to the long-term sustainability of efficient agricultural production and food supply under climate change conditions•Assist people living in rural areas in maintaining their standard of living in the face of climate change•Raising awareness of climate change's consequences
