About VALOR project
VALOR – “Valorisation of ancient farming techniques in resilient and sustainable agriculture” is an Erasmus+ programme funded by the EU, whose aim is to promote cooperation between higher education and research partners, enterprises, and parks’ authorities, including the farmers in the parks’ territories as associated partners, thus enabling the creation of the highly specialised curricula.
The project promotes the recovery, conservation, and enhancement of the ancient local cultivation conditions, through innovative educational curricula that support trainers and farmers to increase their abilities to preserve and safeguarded ancient production techniques and valorize and promote local traditional identities and economies.
