The transition to more sustainable agriculture depends not only on policy, but also on education. Across Europe and in Slovenia, current agricultural frameworks increasingly highlight the importance of knowledge transfer, innovation, and practical learning. These priorities show that strengthening agricultural competences remains essential for supporting more resilient and future-oriented rural development.
ReVaCy contributes to this shift by developing learning materials that help future farm managers, teachers, and practitioners better understand the circular economy and regional value cycles in agriculture. The project consortium is creating training materials, didactic resources, case studies, and open educational resources that introduce circular approaches in agriculture and demonstrate how regional value cycles can support viable business models and stronger rural communities.
The project also places a strong emphasis on practical relevance. By exploring different agri-circular contexts and drawing on real-life examples, ReVaCy aims to provide learners with useful insights into topics such as resource efficiency, energy saving, and the development of new circular products and practices. In this way, the project brings sustainability concepts closer to everyday agricultural reality.
By linking current policy priorities with concrete educational tools, ReVaCy helps turn sustainability goals into practical learning. This is one of the project’s key strengths: it does not only discuss change in agriculture, but actively prepares learners and practitioners to take part in it.
