Get agriculture professionals acquainted with the available airborne technology & software as well as with UAV international legislation & regulations.

Approach

AgroPro consortium is going to work together to develop an e-Guide listing new career paths in agriculture thanks to drones and a Competence Framework & Competence Assessment indicators.

 

A MOOC on the use of UAVs and associated digital tools for sustainable agriculture will also be developed. The training course will be applied and tested through 3 training courses in 3 different languages in the partner countries.

 

Participants of the Training Program will understand the benefits of drone use in agriculture; get equal opportunities for drone certification from EASA, and learn about the U-Space plan and new professions.

Academic Research Impact

At the local, regional, and national levels, the AgroPro’s methodology expects to increase awareness in local communities, promote the project through local websites & social media, encourage the involvement of policymakers and independent professional bodies and promote dialogue for the exchange of opportunities and challenges with the ICT sector in partnerships with NGOs, training centres and other stakeholders.

The project will also look to raise awareness & re-position the views of agricultural professionals by highlighting both the professional and entrepreneurial benefits of the application of a proactive digital technology and drones approach to the agriculture industry.
